(+)-[6]-Gingerol
(5S)-5-Hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-decanone; (S)-(+)-5-Hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-decanone; (+)-5-Hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-decanone; (5S)-[6]-Gingerol; (S)-(+)-[6]Gingerol; (S)-[6]Gingerol; [6]-Gingerol;

(+)-[6]-Gingerol is a bioactive compound found in ginger (Zingiber officinale) with antioxidant activity, which functions as an anti-inflammatory and antitumor agent. (+)-[6]-Gingerol down regulates proinflammatory cytokine release by macrophages. (+)-[6]-Gingerol has been shown to inhibit COX-2 expression by blocking the activation of p38 MAP kinase and NF-κB in phorbol ester-stimulated mouse skin.
