Abstract
Cardamonin (2′, 4′-dihydroxy-6′-methoxychalcone) is a naturally occurring flavonoid (chalcone) abundantly present in plants. Cardamonin has been identified in many plant species used in traditional medicine, such as Boesenbergia rotunda, Alpinia raffleflesiana, Elettaria cardamomum, etc. Several studies have documented that cardamonin exerts a broad spectrum of biological activities against many diseases, e.g., type 2-diabetes (T2DM), neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), rheumatoid arthritis, anti-microbial, Sjogren’s syndrome, anti-inflammatory, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and others. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo studies have proven the low bioavailability and bioaccessibility of cardamonin. The absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of cardamonin also need further study. This current book chapter focuses on cardamonin regarding its resources, biosynthesis pathway, bioavailability, bioactivity, and its proposed role in human health.
