Abstract

The diterpene acid (1) was tested for its growth inhibitory effects against tumor cell lines using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Full assignments of the 1D/2D-NMR data of the compound (1) are reported. These results suggest that the diterpene acid (1) possessed a cytotoxic agent.
