    Three clerodane diterpenoids, premnones A-C (1-3), were isolated from a chloroform-soluble fraction of Premna tomentosa along with four known flavonoids and three known triterpenoids. Among these isolates, premnones A-C exhibited cytotoxic activity when evaluated against a small panel of tumor cell lines. However, premnone A was found to be inactive when evaluated in a follow-up in vivo hollow fiber assay at the highest dose tested (50mg/kg), using LNCaP, Lu1, and MCF-7 cells.
