Research team achieves breakthrough in the production of an acclaimed cancer-treating drug NatureChemistry
Tigilanol tiglate is a natural product diterpenoid in clinical trials for the treatment of a broad range of cancers.

Here we report a practical laboratory synthesis of tigilanol tiglate that proceeds in 12 steps and can be used to sustainably supply tigilanol tiglate and its analogues, the latter otherwise inaccessible from the natural source.
