Comparative Analysis of the Vascular Actions of Diterpenes Isolated from Euphorbia canariensis
1998
Abstract We have analysed the effects of 2,3-diepiingol 7,12-diacetate-8-isobutyrate (compound 1), ingenol-3-angelate-17-benzoate (compound 2), ingenol-3-angelate-17-benzoate-20-acetate (compound 3) and 3,5,7,8,9,15-hexahydroxyjatropha-6(17),11-dien-14-one-5,8-bis(2-methylbutyrate)-7-(2-methylpropionate) (compound 4), four diterpenes isolated from E. canariensis, on the isometric tension developed by isolated rabbit basilar and carotid arteries. Concentration-response curves to these compounds were obtained cumulatively in both arteries at resting tension and active tone (KCl, 50 mM). At resting tension a concentration-dependent contraction was induced by the four compounds. In the basilar …
Ingenane and lathyrane diterpenes from the latex of Euphorbia canariensis
1997
The latex of Euphorbia canariensis yielded, in addition to five known ingenol esters, the ingenane derivatives ingenol 3-angelate 5,20-diacetate and 5-deoxyingenol 3-angelate 20-acetate, and the lathyrane derivatives 2,3-diepiingol 7,12-diacetate 8-benzoate, 2,3-diepiingol 7,12-diacetate 8-isobutyrate and 2-epiingol 3,7,12-triacetate 8-benzoate. The structures were established with the aid of spectroscopic methods, mainly NMR, and molecular mechanics calculations. They were also supported by the results of some chemical transformations.
Analysis of Rabbit Vascular Responses to DBI, an Ingol Derivative Isolated from Euphorbia canariensis
1997
Abstract We have analysed the effects of 7,12-O-diacetyl-8-O-benzoil-2,3-diepiingol (DBI), an ingol derivative isolated from E. canariensis, on isometric tension developed by isolated rabbit basilar and carotid arteries. Concentration-response curves to DBI (10−8 - 3 × 10−5 m) were obtained cumulatively in both arteries at resting tension and active tone (KC1, 50 mm). At resting tension, DBI induced a concentration-dependent contraction, which was not inhibited in Ca2+-free medium. H7 (1-(5-isoquinoline sulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dichloride) (10−4 m) inhibited the DBI-induced contraction both in basilar and in carotid arteries. Calmidazolium (10−4 m) inhibited the maximum contraction of …
