Four new sesquiterpenes including the novel sesquiterpene lactone (6 R )‐dehydroxysipanolinolide ( 1 ), two new eudesmane‐type sesquiterpenes, curcolide ( 2 ) and curcodione ( 3 ), and a new xanthane‐type sesquiterpene, curcumadionol ( 4 ), were isolated from Curcuma wenyujin Y. H. Chen et C. Ling , together with five known ones, 5 – 9 . The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The inhibitory effects of compounds 1 – 9 on nitric‐oxide production in lipopolysaccaride‐activated macrophages were evaluated.
