(+)-Podocarpic acid as chiral template in the synthesis of aphidicolane, stemodane and stemarane diterpenoids: This article reviews the use of (+)-podocarpic acid in the synthesis of various diterpenoids, showcasing its utility in complex organic syntheses (La Bella et al., 2016).
We found that the podocarpic acid structure provides a new scaffold for chemical modulators of large-conductance calcium-activated K(+) channels (BK channels). Structure-activity analysis indicates the importance of both the arrangement (i.e., location and orientation) of the carboxylic acid functionality of

The Liver X Receptor (LXR) alpha and beta isoforms are members of the type II nuclear receptor family which function as a heterodimer with the Retinoid X Receptor (RXR). Upon agonist binding, the formation of the LXR/RXR heterodimer takes place
Journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 73(5), 694-696 (1984-05-01)
As a class, octahydrophenanthrene lactones, podolactones , and related podocarpic acid derivatives have been reported to possess a wide variety of biological activities, including antileukemic activity, inhibition of plant cell growth, and hormonal and anti-inflammatory properties. In the present study
Reproduction, fertility, and development, 12(3-4), 191-199 (2001-04-17)
In recent years the possibility of environmental oestrogens affecting the reproduction of vertebrates has become an issue of both public and scientific interest. Although the significance of such chemicals remains controversial there is clear evidence that, in some contexts, environmental
A series of podocarpic acid amides were identified as potent agonists for Liver X receptor alpha and beta subtypes, which are members of a nuclear hormone receptor superfamily that are involved in the regulation of a variety of metabolic pathways
