(+)-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

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

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
Entry of influenza virus into the host cell is dependent on the fusion of the viral envelope with the endosomal membrane and is mediated by a low-pH-induced change of the viral hemagglutinin (HA) to a conformation that is fusogenic. A
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
