New Diterpenoids from <i>Mesona procumbens</i> with Antiproliferative Activities Modulate Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis in Human Leukemia Cancer Cells

<i>Mesona procumbens</i> is a popular material used in foods and herbal medicines in Asia for clearing heat and resolving toxins. However, phytochemical research on this plant is very rare. In this study, eleven new diterpenoids, mesonols A-K (<b>1–11</b>), comprising seven &...
