Article Synopsis
- Six new compounds called Euphohelinodes D-I (1-6), which are ent-abietane lactones, were discovered from the plant E. helioscopia, known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
- The structures of these compounds were analyzed using advanced techniques like spectroscopic data, X-ray diffraction, and ECD analysis.
- The most effective compound, euphohelinode H (5), reduced nitric oxide production in inflammatory cells and inhibited key enzymes linked to inflammation via the NF-κB signaling pathway, showing potential for treating inflammatory conditions.

Natural products with high antioxidant activity are considered as innovative prevention strategies to effectively prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the early stage because the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to the development of drusen is reported as an important cause of this disease. To investigate the prevention effects of the methanol extracts of L. (MEE) on AMD, its effects on the antioxidant activity, inflammatory response, apoptosis pathway, neovascularization, and retinal tissue degeneration were analyzed in N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2E)-landed spontaneously arising retinal pigment epithelia (ARPE)-19 cells and BALB/c mice after exposure to blue light (BL).

Most macro- and polycyclic Euphorbiaceae diterpenoids derive from the common C20 precursor casbene. While the biosynthetic pathway from casbene to the lathyrane jolkinol C is characterized, pathways to other more complex classes of bioactive diterpenoids remain to be elucidated. A metabolomics-guided transcriptomic approach and a genomics approach that led to the discovery of two casbene-derived diterpenoid gene clusters yielded a total of 68 candidate genes that were transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana for activity toward jolkinol C and other lathyranes.
