Under the bioassay-guided method, two diterpenes, 3-O-(2",3"-dimethylbutanoyl)-13-O-dodecanoylingenol (1) and 3-O-(2",3"-dimethylbutanoyl)-13-O-decanoylingenol (2) isolated from Euphorbia kansui, showed a pronounced antinematodal activity against the nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus at the same minimum effective dose (MED) of 5 microg per cotton ball and still displayed antinematodal activity at a dose of 2.5 microg per cotton ball. Compounds 3-6 were obtained, and the structure of the new compound 6 was elucidated based on 1D- and 2D-NMR analyses and physicochemical data. Preliminary structure-biological activity relationships of ingenane-type compounds were deduced.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a toxic Chinese medicine known for its long history of use, which is believed to help with water retention and swelling.
- The main active compounds in this medicine are diterpenes and triterpenes, specifically ingenane-type diterpenes, which have been shown to have anti-cancer properties by activating a protein called PKC-δ.
- A specific compound, known as compound A, was found to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and influence how macrophages function, showing potential for new cancer treatments through immune cell regulation.

Background: Shizao decoction (SZD) consisted of Euphorbia kansui (EK), Euphorbia pekinensis (EP), Daphne genkwa (DG), and Fructus Jujubae (FJ) is a classic Chinese herbal medicine formula for treating malignant ascites, which is closely related to the modulation of gut microbiota by our previous study. For water-expelling members (WEM) including EK, EP, and DG may have side effects on the intestine, FJ is employed for detoxification and effectivity enhancement of WEM. However, the underlying mechanism for the compatibility of WEM and FJ is still unknown.

The latent reservoir of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a major obstacle in the treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The "shock and kill" strategy has emerged as a promising approach for clearing HIV latent reservoirs. However, current latency-reversing agents (LRAs) have limitations in effectively and safely activating the latent virus and reducing the HIV latent reservoirs in clinical practice.
