چکیده
Euphorbia fischeriana Steud is an essential oriental folk medicine used for healing cancer, edema and tuberculosis. Recently, its anticancer activitity has attracted more attention. A volume of research has indicated that diterpenoids are the major anticancer active constituents from this medicinal herb. In this review, we aimed to provide a summary of the promising anticancer diterpenoids from this plant; many diterpenoids mentioned in this article are newly discovered diterpenoids. According to the carbon skeleton and substituents, they can be classified into eight subtypes: ent-abietane, daphnane, tigliane, ingenane, ent-atisane, ent-rosane, ent-kaurane, and lathyrane. Futhermore, their key anticancer mechanisms and protein targets of these compounds will be discussed. These natural diterpenoids could provide a reservoir for drug discovery.

BACKGROUND Jolkinolide A (JA) and Jolkinolide B (JB) are diterpenoids extracted from the roots of Euphorbia fischeriana Steud and have been shown to have anti-tumor activity. However, their effects on the ability of tumor cells to invade blood vessels and metastasize remain largely unknown. Investigations into the effects of JA and JB on the angiogenesis of tumor tissues may facilitate the iden...
متن کاملFeeding deterrents against two grain storage insects from Euphorbia fischeriana.
The screening of several Chinese medicinal herbs for insecticidal principles showed that Euphorbia fischeriana roots possessed significant feeding deterrent activity against two stored-product insects (Tribolium castaneum and Sitophilus zeamais). From ethanol extract, four feeding deterrents were isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation. The compounds were identified as jolkinolide B, 12-deoxy...
