ent-8(14),15-pimaradien-3beta-ol (8(14),15-Isopimaradien-3-ol) can induce vascular relaxation. It displays high antibacterial activities (MIC values lower than 10 microg /mL for most pathogens).
ent-3-Acetoxy-labda-8(17),13-dien-15-oic acid have vasorelaxant and hypotensive actions, the mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular actions of the labdane involve the activation of the endothelial NO-cGMP pathway, the opening of K+ channels and the alteration on Ca2+ mobilization.
