Kaurenoic acid (KA) is a diterpene which displays selective antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Kaurenoic acid exhibits uterine relaxant activity via calcium blockade and opening ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

The kaurenoic acid-type diterpenoids in Acanthopanacis Cortex have been reported to be the major active components. However, the diterpenoids are present as position isomers that exacerbate the challenges in obtaining standards compounds. Little work has been done on the quantitative
Steviol glycosides such as stevioside have attracted the attention of the food and beverage industry. Recently, efforts were made to produce these natural sweeteners in microorganisms using metabolic engineering. Nonetheless, the steviol titer is relatively low in metabolically engineered microorganisms
Kaurane diterpenes are considered important compounds in the development of new highly effective anticancer chemotherapeutic agents. Genotoxic effects of anticancer drugs in non-tumour cells are of special significance due to the possibility that they induce secondary tumours in cancer patients.

This study investigates the anti-inflammatory effects of a diterpenoid, kaurenoic acid, isolated from the root of Aralia continentalis (Araliaceae). To determine its anti-inflammatory effects, LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with different concentrations of kaurenoic acid and carrageenan-induced paw edema mice
