Overview

Anisomelic acid is a **macrocyclic cembranolide terpenoid** with the molecular formula C20H26O4 and a molecular weight of about 330.4 g/mol[1][2][4]. It is isolated principally from *Anisomeles malabarica* and *Anisomeles indica* and is known for its **cytotoxic, anti-cancer, and antiviral properties**[1][3][6]. Mechanistically, anisomelic acid induces **apoptosis and DNA damage** in cancer cell lines, reducing cell viability and promoting cell death with observed potential in breast and cervical cancer models[1]. Recent studies show **oral antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 in mice**, with in vitro potency comparable to remdesivir, highlighting interest in infectious disease applications[3]. Anisomelic acid is investigated for drug development both as a natural product and through semisynthetic routes from costunolide[3].
