Jatrophane diterpenoids from Euphorbia peplus

Phytochemistry. 1999 Jul;51(5):673-7. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(99)00088-6.

Abstract

From the pro-inflammatory active extract of Euphorbia peplus, a new diterpene polyester (1) based on the jatrophane skeleton was isolated together with the known compounds 2-5. The irritant activities of some jatrophane diterpenes (2, 3 and 6-9) were also investigated: only compound 2 was found to exert a weak pro-inflammatory activity on mouse ear.
