In recent years, clerodane diterpenes, a class of bioactive compounds, have come into the spotlight due to their amazing bioactivities. Three novel clerodane diterpene analogues were obtained by synthesising 16-hydroxycleroda-3,13(14)-Z-diene-15,16-olide (Lactone) with primary amines. Anti-tubercular activity was determined using Microplate Alamar Blue Assay.

To evaluate the groundwater quality and its suitability for domestic, drinking purposes, 44 groundwater samples were collected from the southwestern part of the Cuddapah basin, were examined for major cations and anions. The suitability of groundwater for drinking purposes is assessed by comparing with the World Health Organization (W.

This study examines the contribution of HRB and their effects on multisystem biological risk associated with morbidity and early mortality. We systematically reviewed the literature to assess the links between HRB and AL.
