Total Synthesis towards Maoecrystal V isolated from the leaves of a Chinese medicinal herb, Isodon eriocalyx in 2004. structure was determined by comprehensive NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis and confirmed by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction study. exhibits highly selective antitumor activity, ela cells with IC 50 = 60 nm (cis-platin: IC 50 = 0.99 µg/ml). belongs to the family of C 19 diterpenoid, specifically entkauranoids. Contain highly congested polycyclic core. 7 stereocenters, 3 of which are quaternary stereocenters. 1 total synthesis and 6 partial synthesis have been reported till now. rg.
