Abstract
The in vitro cytotoxicity [using rat Yoshida sarcoma cells] of norditerpenoid dilactones, isolated from Podocarpus plants, was determined. The unsaturated system on the B/C ring portion, the dienolide, or the epoxy-enolide moiety, was essential for the activity. The .gamma.-lactone group on the A/B ring portion was not.
