Seven previously unreported daphnane-type diterpene esters named acutilobins A-G, together with 12 known ones, were isolated from EtOAc extract of Daphne acutiloba Rehd. Their structures were elucidated based on the spectroscopic data. The cytotoxic and anti-HIV-1 activities of these daphnane-type diterpene esters were evaluated through bioassays. Fourteen of these isolates exhibited definite cytotoxic activities against the five human tumor cell lines HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW480. Additionally, anti-HIV-1 activities were observed in 13 daphnane-type diterpene esters, among which acutilobins A-G exhibited significant anti-HIV-1 activities with EC₅₀ below 1.5 nM and SI over 10,000. Particularly, genkwanineVIII showed the strongest activity with EC₅₀ 0.17 nM and SI 187,010.

Hura crepitans (Euphorbiaceae), is widespread in the Amazon rainforest and on plantations in sub-Saharan Africa. This tree produces an irritating milky latex rich in secondary metabolites, notably daphnane-type diterpenes and cerebrosides. Previous studies have shown that huratoxin, the main daphnane in the latex, significantly and selectively inhibited the growth of colorectal cancer cells through a unique mechanism involving the activation of PKCζ.

Four diterpenes of the daphnane type were isolated from a methanol extract of the flower buds of , the two of them were new structures named genkwadanes J () and K (). Their structures were determined based on analysis of their 1D- and 2D-NMR, HRESIMS and ECD calculations. Among the isolates, the cytotoxicity was assessed the MTT method using the K562, MCF-7 and HeLa cancer cell lines, the positive control was taxol.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major challenge for human healthy. Daphnane-type diterpenes have attracted increasingly attention due to remarkable pharmaceutical potential including anti-HCC activity. To further develop this class of compounds as inhibitors of HCC, the daphnane diterpenoids 12-O-debenzoyl-Yuanhuacine (YHC) and 12-hydroxydaphnetoxin (YHE) were prepared by a standard chemical transformation from dried flower buds of the Daphne genkwa plant.

Hura crepitans L. (Euphorbiaceae) is a thorn-covered tree widespread in South America, Africa and Asia which produces an irritating milky latex containing numerous secondary metabolites, notably daphnane-type diterpenes known as Protein Kinase C activators. Fractionation of a dichloromethane extract of the latex led to the isolation of five new daphnane diterpenes (1-5), along with two known analogs (6-7) including huratoxin.

Daphnane-type diterpenoids, which are scarce in nature, exhibit potent growth-inhibitory activities against various cancer cells. To identify more daphnane-type diterpenoids, the phytochemical components in the root extracts of Stellera chamaejasme L. were analysed in this study using the Global Natural Products Social platform and the MolNetEnhancer tool.
