Antimicrobial Potential of Natural Compounds of Zingiberaceae Plants and their Synthetic Analogues: A Scoping Review of and Approaches.

Aims: There has been increased scientific interest in bioactive compounds and their synthetic derivatives to promote the development of antimicrobial agents that could be used sustainably and overcome antibiotic resistance.

Methods: We conducted this scoping review to collect evidence related to the antimicrobial potential of diverse natural compounds from Zingiberaceae plants and their synthetic derivatives. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines.
