The cytotoxic chloroform fraction of Euphorbia aellenii afforded two cycloartane type triterpenes-cycloart-25-en-3β,24-diol (1) and 24-methylene-cycloartan-3β-ol (2)-for the first time from this plant. Preparation of cycloartane derivatives, 3β, 24-O-diacetyl-cycloart-25-en as compound 3 and 3β-O-acetyl-24-methylene-cycloartan (4) were conducted by acetylating of 1 and 2, respectively. The stru...

Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Euphorbia erythradenia Bioss. (Euphorbiaceae), one of Iranian endemic Euphorbias, with particular attention to triterpene constituents, using methanol solvent extraction was carried out. Five known triterpenes, including four cycloartanes and oleanolic acid, were isolated for the first time and identified using NMR and Mass techniques. Anti HIV...

Gardenia plants have long been used as traditional medicines in various countries including Thailand. In this study, two new 3,4-seco-cycloartane triterpenes, sootependial (1) and sootepenoic acid (2), were isolated from bud exudate of G. sootepensis, together with five known compounds. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Sootependial (1) showed potent cytotoxic...
