Abstract
Two new germacrane‐type sesquiterpene lactones, curdionolides A and B (1 and 2, resp.), and a novel germacrane‐type sesquiterpene lactam, curdionolide C (3), were isolated from Curcuma wenyujin. Y. H. Chen et C. Ling together with five known germacrane‐type sesquiterpenes, 4–8. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The inhibitory effects of compounds 1–8 on nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide‐activated macrophages were evaluated.
