Scalable synthesis enabling multilevel bio-evaluations of natural products for discovery of lead compounds
Isodon diterpenoids, promising anti-cancer agents found in certain tropical plants, are difficult to obtain. Here, the authors developed a synthetic strategy to synthesise several different members of this group, including neolaxiflorin L which emerged from this study as a promising drug candidate.
