OBJECTIVE: To study the effective ingredients of Curcuma aromatica. METHOD: Solvent extraction was used. The constituents were isolated with resin D-101 silica gel column and thin-layer chromatography, and the structures were elucidated by physico-chemical properties and spectral analysis. RESULT: Curdione, neocurdione, curcumol, tetramethylpyrazine and (R)-(+)-1,2-hexadecanediol were isolated from C. aromatica. CONCLUSION: Neocurdione and (R)-(+)-1,2-hexadecanediol were isolated from C. aromatica for the first time, and was isolated from Curcuma and reported for the first time.
