Abstract
Abstract: Natural products provide abundant resources for the development of new drugs. Podocarpus nagi is an arbor of Podocarpus L'Hér. ex Persoon. Its fruits, leaves, and roots exhibit a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities (such as antitumor, plant growth regulation, termite killing, and insect larval toxicity), which have been used in Yao folk for a long history. Nagilactone is one of the key components discovered in Podocarpus nagi, which has a variety of structures and a broad spectrum of antitumor activities. In this mini-review, the structures and spectral characteristics, together with the antitumor activities and the structure-activity relationships of nagilactones, are summarized by searching the database in order to provide detailed references for researchers to elucidate and modify their structures.
