AI Article Synopsis
- - A study on the ethanolic extracts from the roots of Euphorbia nematocypha led to the discovery of a new compound called 16-O-caffeoyl-16-hydroxylhexadecanoic acid (1), along with 23 other known compounds (2-24).
- - The chemical structures of these compounds were identified using spectroscopic methods.
- - The newly identified phenylpropanoid demonstrated strong cytotoxic effects against breast cancer (MCF-7) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines.
Article Abstract
A phytochemical investigation of the ethanolic extracts of the dried roots of Euphorbia nematocypha resulted in the isolation of a new phenylpropanoid, 16-O-caffeoyl-16-hydroxylhexadecanoic acid (1), together with 23 known compounds (2-24). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Compound 1 was first to be isolated as a caffeic acyl long chain alkyl acid from the family Euphorbiaceae. The new isolated phenylpropanoid showed potent cytotoxic activities against the MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines.
