Cytotoxic Diterpenoids from Euphorbia helioscopia

>

Four new jatrophane-type diterpenoids (1-4), together with 16 known related compounds, were isolated from the Chinese medicinal plant Euphorbia helioscopia. The structures of 1-4 were determined on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical methods. Cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds against HeLa and MDA-MB-231 cells was evaluated, with only helioscopinolide A (5) and euphornin (3a) being active. ASAP J. Nat. Prod., ASAP
