| Abstract |
Cembrane diterpenoids (cembranoids), characterized by a 14-membered carbon ring and wide variety of functional groups, found in marine and terrestrial organisms. Many studies have shown that cembrane diterpenoids have cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities and are widely used in the development of new drugs. This review covered publications from 2011 to 2022 and classified the cembrane-type diterpenoids into isopropyl (ene) type, γ-lactone or unsaturated five-membered ring, δ-lactone or unsaturated six-membered ring, ε-lactone or unsaturated seven-membered ring, and other cembrane diterpenes. In addition, the biological activity and structure-activity relationship were summarized. This will provide guidance for new cembrane-type diterpenes as lead compounds to explore their potential application for treating cancer and inflammatory diseases. |
