From the water-soluble portion of the methanolic extract of the amomum seed (seed of Amomum xanthioides WALL.), which has been used as a medicine for stomachic and digestive disorders, ten compounds, including two new and three newly isolated monoterpenoid glucosides and a newly isolated octane-tetrol, were isolated. Their structures were determined by spectral investigation.

Silky dogwood (Swida amomum) seed dispersal by freshwater turtles.

Premise: Effective seed dispersal is essential to the success of plant species. Swida amomum (silky dogwood) has a seed-dispersal syndrome characteristic of autumn-ripening shrubs with fleshy fruits; attached fruits are ingested and defecated by birds, while fallen fruits are consumed by ground-foraging birds and mammals.
Methods: We documented that fallen fruits of this shrub were consumed by two aquatic turtle species (eastern painted turtle [Chrysemys picta] and red-eared slider [Trachemys scripta]) and that their seeds were defecated.

Fructus Amomi Cardamomi (FA) is the mature fruit of Amomum villosum Lour (family Zingiberaceae) and is commonly used in Chinese traditional medicine to treat various gastrointestinal disorders. FA's possible benefits as an allergic rhinitis (AR) treatment, however, have not been examined. We used an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR mouse model to identify any anti-allergic effects associated with the administration of 200 mg/kg FA or dexamethasone (Dex) 2.
