New tyrosinase inhibitory sesquiterpenes from Chloranthus henryi.
Chemical investigation of the leaves and stems of Chloranthus henryi resulted in the isolation and characterization of two new eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes, and two new germacrane-type sesquiterpenes, together with two known compounds. The inhibitory activities against tyrosinase of all isolates were also evaluated.
