Investigation of whole plants of Euphorbia fischeriana afforded three new tigliane-diterpenoid glycosides, fischerosides A-C (1-3), together with 11 known diterpenoids. Fischerosides A-C (1-3) are the first tigliane-type diterpenoid glucosides. Their structures were determined by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, MS, and acid hydrolysis. Inhibitory activity against HIV-1 was assessed for compounds 1-5. The new compound 3 showed an EC₅₀ value of 0.02 μM and a therapeutic index (TI) of 17.50, while prostratin (4) and 12-deoxyphorbol-13,20-diacetate (5) showed significantly greater anti-HIV-1 activity.

In Brazil, latex from Euphorbia umbellata (African milk tree) has been increasingly used in folk medicine to treat several types of cancer, including melanoma. The effect of lyophilized latex (LL), its hydroethanolic extract (E80), triterpene (F-TRI)- and diterpene (F-DIT)-enriched fractions, along with six isolated phorbol esters from LL and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on J774A.1, THP-1, SK-MEL-28, and B16-F10 cell line viability were evaluated by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.

Phytochemical investigation into the medium polar fraction of the ethanol extract of Euphorbia peplus led to the identification of 32 diterpenoids with five structural types. Compounds 1-5 and 7-11 are reported for the first time, while the configuration of 6,7-epoxy group of 6 was revised to be β-oriented. Compounds 1-5 feature a rare structural variation of the double bond at Δ migrating to Δ in the tigliane-type diterpenoid family.

The leaves of have been comprehensively researched for their structurally novel bioactive natural compounds, especially those with anti-schistosomiasis liver fibrosis activity, because ethyl acetate extract, which can be extracted from the leaves of , has good anti-schistosomiasis liver fibrosis effects. One new tigliane-type diterpene, 20-acetyl-13--(2-metyl)butyryl-phorbol (), and nine known (-) analogues were isolated from the leaves of . Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and ECD analysis.

Tigliane type macrocyclic diterpenoids with special structures and diverse bioactivities are mainly extracted from plants of Euphorbiaceae and Thymelaeaceae. According to the different functional groups, they can be classified into types of phorbol esters, C-4 deoxyphorbol esters, C-12 deoxyphorbol esters, C-16 or C-17 substituted phorbol esters and others. Most of them present promising antiviral activities and cytotoxic activities and are expected to be developed as candidates for anti-AIDS, anti-tuberculosis, and anti-tumor clinical trials, demonstrating great potential for the application in healthcare.

Two new tigliane- and daphnane-type diterpenoids, given the trivial names daphnegens A-B - were isolated from the buds of . Their structures were assigned on the basis of extensive spectroscopic. The absolute configurations of both compounds were determined by comparison of their calculated and experimental CD curves.
