Chemical constituents from aerial part of Curcuma wenyujin.
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.
