Abstract
Several plants of the genus Rabdosia (Lamiaceae) that occur in China have been used in folk medicine as antitumor or antiinflammatory agents. None of these has been officially listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Thorough studies on the chemical constituents of the leaves and stems of various species and on their biological activities have been carried out by Chinese and Japanese scientists. An extensive review of the chemistry and biological activities of the diterpene constituents of Rabdosia species was published by Fujita and Node [1]. This showed that, up to the beginning of 1983, 108 different diterpenes had been isolated from 22 species of Rabdosia and had been structurally elucidated.
