“…More than 100 neo-clerodanes have been isolated from this genus, and have been classified into 8b-hydroxy-neo-clerod-13-en-15,16-olides (Cole et al, 1990;Miyaichi et al, 1994;de la Torre et al, 1997;Hussein et al, 1996;Malakov and Papanov, 1996;Kizu et al, 1997;Rodríguez et al, 1997;Esquivel et al, 2001;Nguyen et al, 2009;Shang et al, 2010;Raccuglia et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2012), 8b,13-epoxy-neo-clerodane-15,16-olides (Bozov et al, 1993;Malakov and Papanov, 1996;Kizu et al, 1997;Esquivel et al, 2001;Nguyen et al, 2009;Shang et al, 2010;Raccuglia et al, 2010;Lee and Shim, 2011;Wang et al, 2012) and 11,16;15,16-diepoxy-neo-clerodanes (Cole et al, 1990;de la Torre et al, 1995de la Torre et al, , 1997Rodríguez et al, 1997;Ohno et al, 1996Ohno et al, , 1997Kizu et al, 1998;Bruno et al, 2000;Wang et al, 2012), respectively. These neo-clerodanes have attracted interest of researchers for their biological activities, which include anti-feedant (Cole et al, 1990;Muñoz et al, 1997;Raccuglia et al, 2010), anti-oxidant (Nguyen et al, 2009) and anti-cancer activities (Wang et al, 2012).…”
