One of the most exiting findings in this area is perhaps the isolation of Bt-CD, a neoclerodane diterpenoid from Baccharis trimera (Less) DC or carqueja (Brazil) used to treat rheumatism and diabetes that shows anti-phospholipase A2 activity (11). Note also the anti-phospholipase A2 and anti-inflammatory activity of Santolina chamaecy-parissus (12). Cirsium japonicum DC, Crossotephium chinense L. Makino, Inula chinensis Rupr. ex Maxim., and Sigesbeckia orientalis L. are used in Asia for the treatment of inflammatory conditions.
