Abstract :
Andrographolide 1, the major constituent of the Indian medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata (Acanthaceae) was converted into the key intermediate 4 by selective oxidative degradation of the C-12,13 olefin bond. The aldehyde functional group present in 4 has been utilized for synthesizing a number of structurally diverse labdane diterpenes. Synthesis and in vitro cytotoxic activity results of the compounds prepared are discussed.
