Three New Labdane‐Type Diterpenoids from the Fruits of Amomum villosum and Their Anti‐Inflammatory Activities

Three new labdane-type diterpenoids, calcaratarin E, villosumtriol, and 12-epi-villosumtriol (1-3) were isolated from the fruits of Amomum villosum, along with seven known diterpenoids (4-10). Through comprehensive analysis of chemical evidence and spectral data including UV, 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS, IR, and X-ray crystallography, the structures of these novel compounds were successfully determined. Additionally, the inhibitory effects of compounds 2-10 on NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells were evaluated. Notably, compound 6 exhibited the most significant inhibitory effect with an IC₅₀ value of 1.74±0.69 μM.
