The sesquiterpene molecule has been isolated from Indian herb A. reticulata by column chromatography over silica gel with a mixture of binary solvent ethyl acetate and hexane by gradient elution. It was recrystallized at room temperature by slow evaporation to afford suitable crystal for X-ray diffraction study. Antiproliferative bioassay of this molecule has been conducted against human ovarian cancer cell line A 2780.
