From the bioactive extract of the euphorbiaceous Croton niveus Jacq., three previously unreported ent-rosane diterpenes have been isolated and characterized by conventional methods, in addition to the known compounds lupeol, cajucarinolide and some phytosterols. Two of the ent-rosane diterpenes displayed activity against HCT-15 and PC-3 cancer cell lines, and the results of docking calculations of these compounds with NF-κB and STAT3 receptors agreed with the proposed mode of action of diterpenes against PC-3 cells.

Phytochemical study on Euphorbia milii, a common ornamental plant, resulted in the identification of thirteen new ent-rosane diterpenoids (1-13), three new ent-atisane diterpenoids (14-16), and a known ent-rosane (17). Their structures were delineated using spectroscopic data, quantum chemical calculations, and X-ray diffraction experiments. Euphomilone F (1) represented a rare ent-rosane-type diterpenoid with a 5/7/6 skeleton.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers isolated five new compounds called omphalines A-E from the leaves and twigs of Omphalea oppositifolia, along with a known compound using chromatography methods.
  • Omphaline A's structure was identified as a specific type of diterpenoid, characterized by unique double bonds and hydroxy groups.
  • The absolute configuration of omphaline A was confirmed by comparing its experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectrum with calculated ones.

Sixteen diterpenoids (1-16) including 10 new ones, pierisjaponins A-J (1-10), were isolated and identified from Pieris japonica, and their structures were classified into eight diverse carbon skeletons. Pierisjaponins A (1) and B (2) represent the first 1,5-seco-grayanane diterpenoid glucosides and only showed 17 carbon resonances instead of 26 carbons in the C NMR spectra, their structures were finally defined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the unusual NMR phenomena were explained. Pierisjaponin E (5) is the first mollane diterpene glucoside.

A phytochemical investigation to obtain chemical components with potential anti-inflammatory activity from E. hylonoma led to the isolation of nine new ent-isopimarane diterpenoids (1 and 3-10), a new ent-rosane diterpenoid (11), along with eight known ones (2 and 12-18) using various chromatographic techniques. Compounds 3, 4, 5, and 10 were rare examples of the epoxy-ent-isopimarane.
