One new bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoid, together with four known bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoid derivatives and seven phenolics, was isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic (IR, HR-ESI-MS, and NMR) data analysis. The possible anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) activities of the isolated compounds were also evaluated using Caenorhabditis elegans AD pathological model, and 1β-hydroxybisabola-2,10-dien-4-one had the highest possible anti-AD activity.
Keywords: Caenorhabditis elegans; Curcuma longa; bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids; phenolics; possible anti-Alzheimer's disease activities.
