    <p>Lauroside B, a megastigmane sesquiterpene glycoside isolated from <i>L. nobilis</i> leaves, has the potential effect of inducing apoptosis of several highly aggressive malignant melanoma cell lines. To promote the potential development of lauroside B as a possible chemotherapeutic agent to treat human melanoma, the structure and activity relationship studies should be of great importance. In this work, two diastereomers of lauroside B were synthesized through a straightforward approach and the details of the key steps were investigated, which would provide useful information for developing an efficient method toward the synthesis of lauroside B and its structural analogs.</p
