title: Chemical constituents from aerial part of Curcuma wenyujin.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the chemical constituents from aerial part of Curcuma wenyujin.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compounds were isolated by repeated column chromatography on silica gel. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis and comparison with literature data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Six compounds were isolated and identified as codonolactone (1), voleneol (2), octacosanoic acid (3), beta-sitosterol (4), mangdesisterol (5), and daucosterol (6).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds 1, 2, and 5 were isolated from the plant for the first time.
