Abstract:

Euphorbia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. Consisting of 2008 species. The genus Euphorbia produces an irritant, which constitute a health hazard to humans and livestock. The genus Euphorbia is one of the largest and most complex genera of flowering plants, however, several botanists have made unsuccessful attempts to subdivide it to smaller genera.  Many Euphorbias are used for medicinal and other purposes. But it is interesting to note that the plant can be both helpful and toxic. In this study, the toxicity of Euphorbia. sp. was examined. The toxic effects of some suspected poisonous plants of the genus Euphorbia (Euphorbia balsamifera Aiton, E. heterophylla L., E. hirta L., E. hyssopifolia L., and E. lateriflora Schum and Thonn), commonly found in the Iran pastures. Changes in haematological as well as biochemical parameters were used as indices of toxicosis. Experiment showed the important constituents of the aerial parts are terpenoids, including triterpenes: α-amyrin and β-amyrin.

New MDR modulators and apoptosis inducers from Euphorbia species.

Several macrocyclic diterpenes with jatrophane or lathyrane skeletons were isolated from methanol extracts of Hungarian Euphorbia species and evaluated for multidrug resistance (MDR)-reversing activity on a human colon cancer cell line. MDR-reversing activity was tested by using a standard functional assay with Rhodamine 123 as a fluorescent substrate analogue of epirubicin. In the model of com...

NOTES ON SOME SPECIES OF THE GENUS EUPHORBIA IN IRAN

During the study on newly collected and herbarium specimens belonging to the genus Euphorbia, three species, namely, E. gorenfloti, E. cheirolepioides and E. splendida were found to be synonymous with E. chamaepeplus, E. grossheimii and E. decipiens, respectively. Euphorbia sahendi as an interesting and rare species has been recognized after long time again among my material and Euphorbia delto...

Microsciadin, a New Milk-Clotting Cysteine Protease from an Endemic Species, Euphorbia microsciadia

In the present work, a new branch of biotechnological advantage of the latex of an endemic perennial plant, Euphorbia microsciadia has been introduced. A novel cysteine protease, designated as microsciadin, was purified from the latex of Euphorbia microsciadia by a combination of sequential usage of SP-Sepharose Fast Flow column in two different pHs and a final gel filtration ...
