The rhizome and fruit of Dioscorea zingiberensis can be directly used as medicine, which has the effects of eliminating dampness, clearing heat and detoxifying. The rhizome of Dioscorea zingiberensis contains dioscin, which is an ideal raw material for extracting steroid hormones. Various steroid hormone drugs can be obtained by transforming sapogenin (commonly known as saponin) and its steroid structural compounds. The original products extracted from the rhizome of Dioscorea zingiberensis are intermediates or drugs such as soap androsterone, progesterone acetate (monoester), prednisone, cortisone series, oxytocin and contraceptives.
