Abstract

Terpene trilactones from the ginkgo tree (Ginkgo biloba) are at least partly responsible for the neuromodulatory effects of G. biloba extracts. The cover picture shows a young ginkgo tree, with its characteristic fan‐shaped leaves, growing out of a human brain. Superimposed are the X‐ray crystal structures of bilobalide and ginkgolide B. K. Strømgaard and K. Nakanishi discuss the current status of bilobalide and ginkgolides in their Review on page 1640 ff., with a particular focus on chemical and biological studies.
