Pharmacological potential of L. latex in gastric adenocarcinoma: from an ethnopharmacological perspective into new products.

Products derived from the latex of were obtained through hydrolysis and column chromatography, resulting in products rich in triterpenes, ingenol 3-esters (I3E), and other derivatives from hydrolysed latex. These products underwent evaluation for their cytotoxic activity against gastric adenocarcinoma cells (AGS). Triterpene derivatives were synthesised, and the selectivity of each product was assessed.
