We previously demonstrated that 6-shogaol and 6-gingerol, two active compounds in ginger (Zingiber officinale), possess antiinvasive activity against highly metastatic hepatoma cells. The aims of this study were to evaluate the inhibitory effect and molecular mechanism underlying the transcription and

[6]-Shogaol has beneficial effects in spinal neuronal regeneration, but associated molecules and mechanisms are not identified. Neurotrophic factors, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), are associated with proliferation and differentiation of neuronal cells and exert a neuroprotective effect in neurodegenerative models.

Our previous study found that [6]-shogaol, a major bioactive component in ginger, is extensively metabolized in cancer cells and in mice. It is unclear whether these metabolites retain bioactivity. The aim of the current study is to synthesize the major
