Synthesis of several bisabolane sesquiterpenoids from xanthorrhizol isolated from C. xanthorrhiza and their bioactivities

Xanthorrhizol (1) is a bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoid obtained as the main constituent of the rhizome oil of temu lawak, Curcuma xanthorrhiza, which has been utilised as a tonic in Indonesia and as a choleretic drug in Europe. As regards to its bioactivities, it has been shown that xanthorrhizol (...
