Abstract

To investigate the chemical constituents from aerial part of Curcuma wenyujin.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.Six compounds were isolated and identified as codonolactone (1), voleneol (2), octacosanoic acid (3), beta-sitosterol (4), mangdesisterol (5), and daucosterol (6).Compounds 1, 2, and 5 were isolated from the plant for the first time.
