Natural products from the genus Euphorbia show attention-attracting activities, such as anticancer activity. In this article, classical isolation and structure identification were used in a study on Caper Euphorbia Seed. Subsequently, MTT and wound healing assays, flow cytometry, western blotting, Hoechst 33258 staining and fluorescence microscopy examination were applied to investigate the ant...

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 Eu...

To investigate the anti-human epidermal squamous-cell carcinoma A431 cell proliferative fraction of Euphorbia fischeriana Steud. and to determine chamaejasmine B content in the fraction. Anti-A431 cell proliferative activity of various Euphorbia fischeriana Steud. fractions, which were extracted using ethanol extraction and with different solvents, were screened by MTT assay to identify the act...

BACKGROUND The medical treatment for hemorrhoids has undergone significant changes on introduction of new pharmaceutical agents in the last decade. Euphorbia Prostrata is a new molecule used for grade I and II hemorrhoids. Beneficial effects of the Euphorbia prostrata in hemorrhoids have multiple mechanisms that are due to its active constituents flavonoids, tannins and phenolic acid. This pilo...

The bronchodilator effect of alcoholic extract of Euphorbia hirta Linn was evaluated at different doses (50,100 and 200mg/kg,p.o), using histamine aerosol test model. A dose dependent bronchodilator effect was observed in E. hirta pretreated animals. The extract of E. hirta at a dose of 200mg/kg was found to be more effective in histamine induced broncho constriction and a significant (p<0.001)...

Euphorbia tirucalli (E. tirucalli) is now widely distributed around the world and is well known as a source of traditional medicine in many countries. This study aimed to utilise response surface methodology (RSM) to optimise ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) conditions for total phenolic compounds (TPC) and antioxidant capacity from E. tirucalli leaf. The results showed that ultrasonic temp...

The present work was carried out to evaluate the molluscicidal activity of active ingredient Taraxerol with the acetone extract of Euphorbia tirucalli against Lymnaea acuminata snail. The (fecundity, hatchability and survivability) of snail L. acuminata exposed to this extract was studied. The effects of the tested extracts on life-history traits of harmful snail L. acuminata have also been eva...

Clinical findings in 3 cases of ocular injuries caused by the milky latex from Euphorbia tirucalli and Dieffenbachia sequine were reported. The initial symptoms of all patients were burning pain with subsequently blurred vision. Visual acuity was reduced between 6/30 and 6/20. Euphorbia sap caused punctate erosion, microbullae and Descemet's folds; while Dieffenbachia sap induced conjunctival c...
