Fourteen previously undescribed diterpenoids, including an unusual diterpenoid (1) with a 9,10-seco-jatrophane skeleton, ten jatrophane-type diterpenoids (2-11), two lathyrane-type diterpenoids (12, 13), and an abietane-type diterpenoid (14), together with thirty-six known ones (15-50), were isolated from the whole plants of Euphorbia helioscopia L. The structures of the new isolates were characterized by spectroscopic methods, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational prediction of ECD and chemical shifts. Thirty-nine abundant diterpenoids were evaluated for their enhancement of NK cell-mediated killing of NSCLC cells. As a result, compounds 24, 33, and 41 were found to significantly enhance the killing activity of NK cells towards H1299-luci cells and A549-luci cells at the concentration of 2.5 μM.

Objective: To investigate the effect of on biological behaviors of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.
Methods: NSCLC cell lines PC-9 and A549 treated with different concentrations of preparations were examined for changes in proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration using CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, wound healing assay and Transwell assay. Western blotting was performed to detect the changes in protein expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, E-cadherin, vimentin, MMP2, and MMP9 in the treated cells.

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.
Antimicrobial Activity of Euphorbia helioscopia L. Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) In Vitro.

Department of Analytical and Toxicological Chemistry, Medical Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kaunas, LTU.
Background: Antimicrobial resistance is currently one of the most significant threats to medical science, necessitating the exploration of new antimicrobial agents. Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) can lead to various severe conditions such as endocarditis, meningitis, abscesses, and sepsis, and conventional antibiotics such as beta-lactams are ineffective for treating these diseases. Therefore, it is imperative to search for novel chemical substances with antimicrobial effects against MRSA.
