New tyrosinase inhibitory sesquiterpenes from Chloranthus henryi

Chem Biodivers. 2008 Jul;5(7):1298-303. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.200890116.

Abstract

Chemical investigation of the leaves and stems of Chloranthus henryi resulted in the isolation and characterization of two new eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes, and two new germacrane-type sesquiterpenes, together with two known compounds. The inhibitory activities against tyrosinase of all isolates were also evaluated.
