Article Synopsis
- A study on Euphorbia helioscopia L. identified three new ent-atisane diterpenoids and five known compounds through various analytical techniques.
- The structures of the new compounds were determined using methods like NMR and X-ray crystallography, with one compound being notably rare due to a hydroxyl group.
- Bioactivity tests revealed that certain known compounds had significant anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NO production in a dose-dependent manner.

Article Synopsis
- Two new compounds, sagittacins F and G, were discovered from the plant Ligularia sagitta, along with a known isomer of sagittacin F.
- The structures of these compounds were identified using spectroscopic methods, and their configurations were confirmed through X-ray spectroscopy.
- Anti-inflammatory properties were tested, showing that compounds 2 and 3 could modestly inhibit nitric oxide production in cells, with specific concentrations needed to achieve this effect.
