Description

Gingerol, also known as 6G [6]-gingerol or (6)-gingerol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gingerols. Gingerols are compounds containing a gingerol moiety, which is structurally characterized by a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl group substituted at the C6 carbon atom by a 5-hydroxy-alkane-3-one. When ginger is dried or mildly heated, gingerol undergoes a dehydration reaction forming shogaols, which are about twice as pungent as gingerol. Gingerol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Gingerol is a pungent. Outside of the human body, gingerol is found, on average, in the highest concentration in gingers. gingerol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as pepper (spice), cumins, sweet bay, nutmegs, and caraway. This could make gingerol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. While the biosynthesis of 6-gingerol is not fully elucidated, plausible pathways are presented here. It is speculated that some polyketide synthases (PKS) and reductases are involved in final synthesis of 6-Gingerol (10). 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) is then used to get p-Coumaroyl-CoA (5).
