title: [Studies on chemical constituents of Curcuma aromatica salisb].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effective ingredients of Curcuma aromatica.
  
  
  METHODS
  Solvent extraction was used. The constituents were isolated with resin D-101 silica gel column and thin-layer chromatography, and the structures were elucidated by physico-chemical properties and spectral analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Curdione, neocurdione, curcumol, tetramethylpyrazine and (R)-(+)-1,2-hexadecanediol were isolated from C. aromatica.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Neocurdione and (R)-(+)-1,2-hexadecanediol were isolated from C. aromatica for the first time, and was isolated from Curcuma and reported for the first time.
