Abstract: Curcuma amada Roxb. (Zingiberaceae) rhizomes have been found to be a good source of (E)-labda-8(17),12-diene-15,16-dial. This has been chemically transformed to other biologically active compounds like aframodial, zerumin A as well as other natural products like (E)-labda-8(17),12-diene-15,16-olide, 15,16-epoxy-8(17),13(16),14-labdatriene and (-)-marginatone. The antimicrobial activity of zerumin A sodium salt as well as other derivatives of the dialdehyde has been established.
