It is a perennial, rhizomatous, aromatic herb belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. This family is composed of 70–80 species of rhizomatous annual or perennial herbs the genus, which has a vast distribution in the tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Australia, originated in the Indo-Malayan region. The plant reaches a height of one meter. The leaves are radical, long, oblong, and lanceolate. sheathed, tuft-like, and petiolate. A plant produces five to six pairs of foliage. Rhizomes of mango ginger are meaty, buff in color, 3-5 cm long, 2-4 cm wide, and divided into internodes and nodes. At nodes of the rhizome rough leaves placed in a circle, creating the impression of growing rings that have surface scars. The roots are branched, with sympodial branching. The roots have the flavor of raw mango and have a strong taste.
Pharmacological activity mainly Anti-inflammatory activity
chromatography to obtain a pure form of the antioxidant compound. The structure was inferred by analyzing Ethanol extract of C. amada showed the presence of multiple chemical constituents with the presence of hydroxyl, ester, carbonyl, and olefinic groups. The extract showed dose-dependent anti-inflammatory activity, which was found to be statistically significant at higher concentration in acute carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. That extract shows anti-inflammatory activity at various acute phases of inflammation and on the MS, and twodimensional heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence transfer spectroscopy nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data and named it as “amadannulen,” a novel compound. Amadannulen also reported antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative
