Abstract:

Euphorbia macrostegia or Persian wood spurge is one of the seventeen endemic plants of this genus in Iran. Three triterpenoids: 24-methylenecycloartan-3β-ol (1), butyrospermol (2) and cycloartenol (3) and three diglycerides: 1,2-di-O-α-linolenoyl-sn-glycerol (4), 1-O-linoleoyl-3-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol (5) and 1-O-α-linolenoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol (6) were isolated from a hexane layer of methanol and dichloromethane extract of the aerial parts of Euphorbia macrostegia Boiss. The structures of all compounds were elucidated using different spectroscopy methods including, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC, EI-MS and IR. The triterpenes and the unsaturated fatty acids moieties of the diglycerides isolated from the plant were reported previously to have analgesic, anticancer, bactericidal and antifungal activity. Here we show that E. macrostegia is a new source for the above mentioned biologically active compounds.

Polyamines, auxins and organogenesis in leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.)

Canaline and canavanine (inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis) effects on root and shoot formation were determined in vitro for etiolated hypocotyl segments of leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.). Canaline (an ornithine analogue) at 10 to 100 μmol/L inhibited root and shoot formation. The simultaneous application of putrescine did not reverse canaline-induced inhibition of root formation. Ornithi...
