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.
Jatrophane and tigliane diterpenes from the latex of Euphorbia obtusifolia
1999
The latex of Euphorbia obtusifolia var. obtusifolia yielded twelve new diterpene polyesters. Seven of them displayed the jatrophane framework and five were 4-deoxyphorbol esters. A further isolated tigliane diterpene, a derivative of 4-epi-4-deoxyphorbol, was most likely an artifact of the isolation procedure. All structures were established with the aid of spectroscopic methods.
Jatrophane derivatives and a rearranged jatrophane from Euphorbia terracina
1998
Abstract The aerial parts of Euphorbia terracina yielded 11 new jatrophane derivatives as well as a further diterpene displaying the novel 1(15 → 14) abeo -jatrophane framework.
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 …
