Two Anti-inflammatory Diterpenes from the Rhizomes of Alpinia Officinarum Hance

Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 8

Abstract

In this study, two labdane diterpenes, (12S )-15,16-epoxy-8(17),13(16),14-labdatrien-12-ol(1) and (12E )-labda-8(17),12(13)-dien-15,16-olide(2), were isolated from the rhizomes of Alpinia officinarum. They were identified by comparing the spectroscopic data with those in the literatures. Both of them were isolated from this plant for the first time. Besides, they were found to own strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.
