Abstract
Eleven undescribed 16,17-dinor-abietane diterpenoids, caseazins A-K (1-11), and ten known diterpenoids (12-21) were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Casearia kurzii (Flacourtiaceae). Caseazins A-K were the first abietane -type dinorditerpenoids to have been isolated from the plant of Casearia kurzii. Their chemical structures were elucidated using a combination of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The absolute configurations of 5 and 10 were established by electronic circular dichroism calculations. Moreover, compounds 2, 3, 13, 14, and 18 exhibited anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 values of 0.17, 0.36, 6.55, 1.30, and 4.53 μM, respectively. IL-1β and caspase-1 analyses suggested that compound 14 inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and blocked macrophage pyroptosis.

Abstract
A phytochemical investigation to obtain bioactive substances as lead compounds or agents for cancer led to the obtainment of six new and two known clerodane diterpenoids from the leaves of Casearia kurzii. Their structures were elucidated using NMR techniques and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The subsequent biological cytotoxicity evaluation of these isolates toward human lung cancer A549, human cervical cancer HeLa, human chronic myeloid leukemia K562, and human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 was carried out. The most active compound 4 with an IC50 value of 9.7 μM against HepG2 cells was selected to examine the cytotoxic mechanism, which induced the apoptosis and arrested the HepG2 cell cycle at S stage. The in vivo zebrafish experiments revealed that compound 4 had the property of inhibiting tumor proliferation and migration.

Abstract
A search for bioactive natural products as anticancer lead compounds resulted in the isolation of one previously undescribed and three known clerodane diterpenoids (1-4) from Casearia kurzii. The structures of these compounds were established by analysis of their NMR, MS, and electronic circular dichroism data. The cytotoxic activities of four compounds against three human cancer cell lines were evaluated. Compound 2 was found to be the most active with an IC50 value of 4.1 μM against HeLa cells, and was selected to investigate the possible cytotoxic mechanism.
