Abstract

The inhibitory effect of 13(E)-Labd-13-ene-8$\alpha$ 15-diol(1), isolated from the ethanol extract of Brachyglottis monroi, on the proliferation of human breast cancer MDA-MB231 cells was examined. Compound (1) at concentration as high as 16$\mu$/$m\ell$ has inhibited the proliferation of MDA-MB231 and this cytotoxic effect was increased in a time and dose-dependent manners. (omitted)
