Three new diarylheptanoids, together with ten known ones, were isolated from the ethanol extract from the rhizomes of Alpinia officinarum Hance. The structural identification of these compounds was mainly achieved by spectroscopic methods. The new compounds were elucidated as 7-(4", 5"-dihydroxy-3"-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl -4-heptene-3-one (1), 1, 7-diphenyl-5-heptene-3-one (2) and 4-phenethyl-1, 7-diphenyl -1-heptene-3, 5-dione (3), respectively. All of the compounds showed antibacterial activity against Helicobactor pylori. Especially, the three new compounds showed strong antibacterial activity against Hp-Sydney strain 1 with the MIC values of 9-12 μg/mL, and against Hp-F44 with the MIC values of 25-30 μg/mL.

D016480	Helicobacter pylori	A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).
