Labdane

Labdane is a natural bicyclic diterpene. It forms the structural core for a wide variety of natural products collectively known as labdanes or labdane diterpenes. The labdanes were so named because the first members of the class were originally obtained from labdanum, a resin derived from the gum rockrose.^[1][2]

A variety of biological activities have been determined for labdane diterpenes including antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, and anti-inflammatory activities.^[3] Natural labdanes in tree resin are believed to be the precursors of amber, which polymerise under great pressure.

Example labdane derivatives

• Forskolin
• Galanolactone^[4]
• Isocupressic acid - is an abortifacient component of Cupressus macrocarpa.^[5]
• Medigenin
• Sclareol
• Stemodene
