Abstract

The synthesis and biological evaluation of a new family of diterpenes, represented by structures 2 and 3, is presented. These compounds constitute isomeric analogues of acanthoic acid (1) and were examined as potent anti-inflammatory agents. Among them, methyl ester 12 exhibited a low non-specific cytotoxicity, inhibited TNF-alpha synthesis and displayed good specificity in suppressing cytokine expression.
