Neurological disorders present a formidable challenge in healthcare, necessitating the continuous exploration of innovative therapeutic avenues. This review delves into the burgeoning field of natural diterpenoid derivatives and their promising role in addressing neurological disorders. Derived from natural sources, these compounds exhibit a diverse range of pharmacological properties, positioning them as potential agents for treating conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The review highlights recent advancements, shedding light on the multifaceted mechanisms through which diterpenoid derivatives exert their effects, from antiinflammatory to neuroprotective actions. As the scientific community navigates the translational journey from bench to bedside, integrating these natural compounds into neurotherapeutics emerges as a compelling prospect. This exploration of the therapeutic frontiers of natural diterpenoid derivatives signifies a significant step towards innovative and effective strategies in the management of neurological disorders. It highlights the potential of natural compounds to revolutionize neurotherapeutics.

The catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction is a multicomponent reaction which affords β-amino carbonyl compounds by utilizing an aldehyde, a primary or secondary amine/ammonia, and a ketone. β-amino carbonyl scaffolds are crucial intermediates for the synthesis of naturally occurring bioactive compounds and their derivatives. The synthesized natural compounds exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities including anti-fungal, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-HIV, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.

Background: Although broad-scale data might suggest low prevalence, millions of children in India still suffer from Vitamin A and Vitamin D deficiencies despite India's existing guidelines for Vitamin A deficiency. To address the issue, the Government of India has recommended fortification of oil and milk to improve Vitamin A and Vitamin D consumption. However, there is limited information on the health benefits and cost-effectiveness of fortifying oil and milk at scale.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, remaining a significant challenge in terms of early detection, effective treatment, and improving patient survival rates. In this study, we investigated the anticancer mechanism of rubiarbonol B (Ru-B) and its derivative 3-O-acetylrubiarbonol B (ARu-B), a pentacyclic terpenoid in gefitinib (GEF)-sensitive and -resistant NSCLC HCC827 cells. Concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity was observed for both Ru-B and ARu-B.

The retinol isotope dilution (RID) test is the most sensitive method to assess vitamin A status by estimating total liver reserves, considered the reference standard. For gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry detection, C is added to the retinol moiety. The synthetic procedure for C-retinyl acetate begins with the naturally occurring β-ionone.
