Nardosinone is a sesquiterpene and chemical constituent of Nardostachys jatamansi.^[1] In in vitro studies, the compound has demonstrated concentration-dependent enhancement of bucladesine and staurosporine-induced neurite outgrowth.^[2] Nardosinone has similarly been demonstrated to enhance NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis from PC12D cells.^[3]

Additionally, nardosinone has demonstrated cytotoxic activity against cultured P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cells.^[4]
