The cytotoxic chloroform fraction of Euphorbia aellenii afforded two cycloartane type triterpenes-cycloart-25-en-3β,24-diol (1) and 24-methylene-cycloartan-3β-ol (2)-for the first time from this plant. Preparation of cycloartane derivatives, 3β, 24-O-diacetyl-cycloart-25-en as compound 3 and 3β-O-acetyl-24-methylene-cycloartan (4) were conducted by acetylating of 1 and 2, respectively. The stru...

The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a much-maligned plant which is thought by the public and some health professionals to be extremely toxic. Despite pronouncements by public health officials to the contrary, the poinsettia continues to be recognized as a poisonous plant. To determine if there was any validity to the toxicity claims, 849,575 plant exposures reported to the American Associ...

phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of euphorbia erythradenia bioss. (euphorbiaceae), one of iranian endemic euphorbias, with particular attention to triterpene constituents, using methanol solvent extraction was carried out. five known triterpenes, including four cycloartanes and oleanolic acid, were isolated for the first time and identified using nmr and mass techniques. anti hiv...

four known flavonoids: quercetin 3-o-β-d-rutinoside (q3rut), myricetin 3-o-β-d-galactopyranoside (m3gal), quercetin 3-o-β-d-galactopyranoside (q3gal) and quercetin 3-o-β-d-glucopyranoside (q3glc), for the first time were isolated from aerial parts of euphorbia microsciadia. the chemical structure of them was elucidated on the basis of 1 and 2 d-nmr spectra and different spectroscopic techniques...

background and objectives:the plants of genus artemisia (asteraceae) have been conventionally used for prevention and medication of a number of ailments. in the present research, ten extracts with different polarities from aerial parts of two artemisia species, a. kopetdaghensis and a. turcomanica were evaluated for their potential anti-malarial properties. methods: the plant materials were ext...

To study the chemical constituents of Euphorbia antiquorum L., the constituents were isolated with normal-phase and reverse-phase silica gel column chromatography and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Seven terpenoids were obtained from EtOAc extract of E. antiquoru L. They were identified as antiquorine A (1), antiquorine B (2), ent-13S-hydroxy-16-atisene-3,1...

Fractions obtained from partitioning of aerial methanolic extract of Euphorbia Aelleniiwith chloroform (E2), ethyl acetate (E3), n-butanol (E4) and water (E5) were investigated in vitro for their phytotoxicity, insecticidal, anti-leishmanial, cytotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal activities. Sample E2 appeared to have significant phytotoxic activity. In the insecticidal screening study onl...
