Significance

()-Actinophyllic acid was isolated from the leaves of the tree Alstonia actinophylla. It is an inhibitor of carboxypeptidase U, an endogenous inhibitor of the process the body uses to clear fibrin clots. This synthesis proceeds in only eight stages all but one of which construct C-C or C-N bonds.
