A sesquiterpene alcohol with diverse biological activities; inhibits proliferation of A549 and H1299 NSCLC cells over BEAS-2B normal lung cells (IC50s = 121.7, 211.5, and 297.1 μM, respectively); induces formation of DNA DSBs and autophagy in A549 and H1299 cells and increases levels of LC3-II; inhibits tumor growth in an NSCLC mouse xenograft model at 8 mg/kg three times per week; deters A. aegypti and A. quadrimaculatus mosquitoes from feeding on a synthetic blood substitute at 25 nmol per cm2; lethal to fourth instar M. separata and third instar P. xylostella larvae (LD50s = 0.07 and 8.9 mg/larva, respectively)
