A diverse natural product-like (NPL) synthetic abietane diterpenoid library containing 86 compounds were obtained and the SARs were studied based on their antibacterial potential. Further in vitro cytotoxic and in silico drug-like properties evaluation showed that the potent antibacterial compound 84 had good drug-like properties and displayed low cytotoxicity toward noncancerous mammalian cells, indicating the study of AA and DHAA might be a good starting point for the search of novel antimicrobial molecules. Future work should be focused on the optimization of their potency and selectivity.

Hypertension is the most prevalent non-communicable disease, affecting billions of people worldwide. Discovery and development of natural antihypertensive lead compounds or drugs are important to resolve the limitations of existing antihypertensive drug safety and resistance. This investigation verified that carnosic acid (CA), an important active ingredient of rosemary, an edible spice plant, indicates a significant anti-hypertensive activity in spontaneous hypertension rats by targeting AT1R.
