Polyalthia is a versatile genus of shrubs and trees found in tropic and sub-tropic regions. In this study, three clerodane diterpenes, kolavenic acid (1), polyalthialdoic acid (2), and 16α-hydroxy-cleroda-3,13(14)Z-dien-15,16-olide (3) isolated from Polyalthia longifolia leaves were evaluated for
The leaves of Zuelania guidonia yielded eight new clerodane diterpenes, namely, zuelaguidins A-H (1-8), and the known clerodane diterpene esculentin A (9). Some of these structures contained a 3,6-dihydro-1,2-dioxin moiety. The new compounds were isolated and identified using 1D- and 2D-NMR
Clerodane diterpenes have demonstrated cytotoxic, antiplasmodial and anti-ulcer properties. In the present work, we determined the cytotoxic effect of casearin L (Cas L), O (Cas O) and X (Cas X) and (-)-hardwickiic acid isolated from Casearia sylvestris leaves, and investigated the underlying
Casearia sylvestris Swartz (Salicaceae) is a plant commonly widespread in the Americas. It has oxygenated tricyclic bioactive clerodane diterpenes with antimicrobial, antiulcer, larvicidal, chemopreventive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties. Due to this requirement for
The discovery of potent cytotoxic isolates from botanicals provides an opportunity to explore this viable tool for cancer chemoprevention. The antileukemic potential of clerodane diterpene from Polyalthia longifolia leaves has already been established. However, in this present study, utilizing
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy that preferentially affects children and adolescents. Over 50% of human T-ALLs possess activating mutations of Notch1. The clerodane diterpene casearin J (CJ) is a natural product that inhibits the sarcoendoplasmatic

Clerodane diterpene, 16-hydroxycleroda-3,13-dien-15,16-olide (CD) isolated from Polyalthia longifolia Benth. & Hook. f. var. pendula was found to be a potential apoptotic inducer in human leukemia, lung cancer, and colon cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanism remains elusive in
