چکیده
A partir das raízes de Jatropha weddelliana foram isolados os diterpenóides jatrogrossidiona, 4Z-jatrogrossidentadiona, 15-epi-4Z-jatrogrossidentadiona, 4E-jatrogrossidentadiona,15-epi-4Ejatrogrossidentadiona, 2-hidroxiisojatrogrossidiona, 2-epi-hidroxiisojatrogrossidiona e jatrowediol. A elucidação da estrutura do jatrowediol, um novo diterpenóide latirânico, foi realizada por meio de análises por técnicas de RMN e de difração de raios-X.

Oxidation and cyclization of casbene in the biosynthesis of Euphorbia factors from mature seeds of Euphorbia lathyris L.
The seed oil of Euphorbia lathyris L. contains a series of macrocyclic diterpenoids known as Euphorbia factors. They are the current industrial source of ingenol mebutate, which is approved for the treatment of actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition. Here, we report an alcohol dehydrogenase-mediated cyclization step in the biosynthetic pathway of Euphorbia factors, illustrating the or...

متن کاملA Cytochrome P450‐Mediated Intramolecular Carbon–Carbon Ring Closure in the Biosynthesis of Multidrug‐Resistance‐Reversing Lathyrane Diterpenoids
The Euphorbiaceae produce a wide variety of bioactive diterpenoids. These include the lathyranes, which have received much interest due to their ability to inhibit the ABC transporters responsible for the loss of efficacy of many chemotherapy drugs. The lathyranes are also intermediates in the biosynthesis of range of other bioactive diterpenoids with potential applications in the treatment of ...
متن کاملProduction of cytotoxic compounds in dedifferentiated cells of Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae)
This study addresses the in vitro culture as an alternative to obtain compounds with cytotoxic activity from the medicinal plant Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae). We determined the presence of cytotoxic compounds in both whole plants and dedifferentiated cells. We evaluated the effect of auxin, cytokinins and light on callus induction in cotyledon explants. We found that the most effective combi...
متن کاملAnti-metastatic effects of curcusone B, a diterpene from Jatropha curcas.
A new approach to cancer therapy in recent years has been to target the metastatic process. The anti-metastatic potential of curcusone B, a diterpene isolated from Jatropha curcas Linn. (Euphorbiaceae), a herbal plant that has been used in traditional folk medicine in many tropical countries, was investigated against 4 human cancer cell lines. Treatment with non-cytotoxic doses of curcusone B r...
