Investigation of the EtOH extract of the rhizomes of Curcuma longa led to the isolation of two new sesquiterpenes, 2-methoxy-5-hydroxybisabola-3,10-diene-9-one (1) and 2,8-epoxy-5-hydroxybisabola-3,10-diene-9-one (2), one new monoterpene, 2-(2,5-dihydroxy-4-methylcyclohex-3-enyl)propanoic acid (3), together with five known sesquiterpenes (4-8). Among the known compounds, bisacurone A (5) and 4-methylene-5-hydroxybisabola-2,10-diene-9-one (6) were isolated from C. longa and genus Curcuma for the first time, respectively. Their structures were established on the basis of various spectroscopic analyses including HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR, IR spectra, and by comparison of their spectral data with those of related compounds.

Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (CLRh), Curcumae Radix (CRa), and Curcumae Rhizoma (CRh), derived from the different medicinal parts of the species, are blood-activating analgesics commonly used for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. Due to their certain similarities in chemical composition and pharmacological effects, these three herbs exhibit a high risk associated with mixing and indiscriminate use. The diverse methods used for distinguishing the medicinal origins are complex, time-consuming, and limited to intraspecific differentiation, which are not suitable for rapid and systematic identification.

Background: Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound derived from the food spice turmeric that has received interest from the medical and scientific world for its role in the management of several conditions. Clinical studies, in humans, have shown that ingested Curcumin is safe even at high doses (12 g/day), but it has poor bioavailability primarily due to poor absorption and rapid metabolism and elimination. Several strategies have been implemented to improve the bioavailability of Curcumin, for example, the combination of piperine in a complex with Curcumin, or the usage of formulations with phospholipid or liposomal complexes.
