Various biological activities (Table 13 [pp. 489–490]) have been reported for plant diterpenes, principally from members of the Ericaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Lamiaceae, and Compositae. Each of the major diterpenoid classes from this last family will be discussed below in terms of its biological properties.
