The aim of the study was to investigate the sesquiterpene constituents from the rhizomes of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen et C.Ling.The isolation and purification of the constituents from the 50% EtOH extracts of the rhizomes were performed with repeated column chromatography over sillica gel and macroporous resin.Eight sesquiterpenes were obtained and identified as wenyujinlactone A(1),neolitamone A(2),zedoarondiol(3),isozedoarondiol(4),aerugidiol(5),curcumol (6),curdione(7) and (1R,10R)-epoxy-(-)-1,10-dihydrocurdine (8) by means of spectral analysis.Among them,compound 1 was found to be a new eudesmane sesquiterpene lactone,whilst compounds 2-5 were obtained from this plant for the first time.
