Hedychins A (1) and B (2), two unprecedented 6,7-dinorlabdane ditepenoids with a peroxide bridge, were obtained from the rhizomes of Hedychium forrestii. Their structures and absolute configurations were unequivocally established by a combination of spectroscopic data and X-ray single-crystal diffractions. Their plausible biosynthetic pathway was proposed. Compound 2 exhibited cytotoxicity against HepG2 and XWLC-05 cell lines with IC50 values of 8.0 and 19.7 μM, respectively.
