Abstract
The natural Cassane and norcassane diterpenes are biosynthetic rearrangement products of Pimarane precursor in the biosynthetic pathway of diterpenes. Their distribution is highly restricted to various genera of Fabaceae family (especially to Caesalpinia genus). A comprehensive account of the structural diversity (322 structures, 114 references) is given in this review along with biological activities of cassane and norcassane diterpenes up to September 2011.
