Front Cover . Magnolia delavayi Franch. is mainly distributed in Southwestern China, and has been used as traditional folk medicine to treat indigestion, chronic gastritis, cough, and bronchitis. The 95 % ethanolic extract of the leaves of M. delavayi were phytochemical studied, which resulted in the isolation of three new guaiane sesquiterpenes and five new eudesman sesquiterpenes, as well as five known eudesman sesquiterpenes. The cytotoxic activities of all isolated compounds were evaluated against HL‐60, A‐549, SMMC‐7721, MCF‐7, and SW480 cancer cell lines in vitro using MTS assay, as reported by Zhang‐Qiao Xie et al , in their full paper at 10.1002/cbdv.201900013.
