An asymmetrical dimer of kaurane diterpene and monoterpene and four novel diterpenes were isolated from the roots of Croton limae, along with kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, ombuin-3-O-rutinoside and acetyl aleuritolic acid. The cytotoxic activity of the kaurane diterpene was evaluated against colorectal adenocarcinoma (HCT-116), ovarian carcinoma (OVCAR-8) and glioma (SF-295) cell lines, exhibiting IC50values of 7.14, 8.19 and > 10 μg mL-1, respectively.
