Abstract
In this study, 14 abietene and pimarene diterpenoids were isolated from the woods of Agathis dammara. Among them, 4 new compounds, dammarone A-C and dammaric acid A (1-4), were firstly reported, respectively. The structure of the new compounds was determined by HR ESI-MS and 1D/2D NMR spectroscopy, and their absolute configuration was determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) exciton chirality method. The hypoglycemic effect of all compounds was evaluated by transgenic zebrafish model, and the structure-activity relationship was discussed. Hinokione (7, HO) has low toxicity and significant hypoglycemic effects on zebrafish, the mechanism is mainly by promoting the differentiation of zebrafish pancreatic endocrine precursor cells (PEP cells) into β cells, thereby promoting the regeneration of pancreatic β cells.

Nat Prod Res 2024:1-17. [PMID: 39205630 DOI: 10.1080/14786419.2024.2397554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Euphorbia pekinensis Rupr. is a traditional herb generally distributed in most areas of China, north Korea and Japan. The dried roots of Euphorbia pekinensis Rupr. (REP), famous as 'Jing Da Ji' () have been applied as traditional herb medicines to expel water and rheum; disperse swelling, dissipate binds and to treat edoema, pleural effusions, uraemia, nephritis, cirrhosis with ascites, as well as other diseases. Recent advances in botany, traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, quality control, and toxicology of E. pekinensis roots are methodically outlined and current limitations as well as future perspectives also are discussed in order to guide scientifical investigation and rational application of REP. Up to now, 79 structurally diverse compounds have been obtained and characterised from REP, principally including diterpenoids, triterpenoids, tannins, phenols, and 29 volatile constituents. Among which, diterpenoids are considered as primary characteristic and active constituents. The extracts and individual compounds from REP have demonstrated significant pharmacological effects such as diuretic and purgative, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic effects. REP are widely used in traditional medicine due to diverse chemical constituents with obvious pharmacological effects. Modern phytochemical and pharmacological studies justified and explained relevant traditional uses of REP and offer worthy clues for new medical fields of industrial application. Nevertheless, a great number of thorough and detailed investigations should be carried out in active constituents, mechanisms of action, quality-marker, toxicology assessment, and detoxification mechanisms of REP.

Abstract
The roots of the plant Euphorbia ebracteolata Hayata (Yue Xian Da Ji) are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat multiple diseases such as chronic liver diseases, oedema, pulmonary diseases and cancer. It is the main ingredient of the TCM called Langdu which can be prepared also from roots of E. fischeriana Steud. and occasionally from Stellera chamaejasme species. Numerous bioactive natural products have been isolated from E. ebracteolata including a large diversity of diterpenoids with anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. One little series of compounds has been named yuexiandajisu (A, B, C, D, D1, E, F) which comprises two casbane-, one isopimarane-, two abietane-, and two rosane-type diterpenes including a dimeric molecule. The origin, structural diversity and properties of these little-known natural products is discussed here. Several of these compounds have been identified in the roots of other Euphorbia species, notably the potent phytotoxic agent yuexiandajisu C. The abietane diterpenes yuexiandajisu D-E exhibit marked anticancer properties but their mechanism of action remains unresolved. The dimeric compound, renamed yuexiandajisu D1, also exhibit anti-proliferative properties against cancer cell lines, unlike the rosane diterpene yuexiandajisu F. The structural or functional analogy with other diterpenoids is discussed.

Abstract
In spite of tremendous efforts exerted in the management of COVID-19, the absence of specific treatments and the prevalence of delayed and long-term complications termed post-COVID syndrome still urged all concerned researchers to develop a potent inhibitor of SARS-Cov-2. The hydromethanolic extracts of different parts of E. mauritanica were in vitro screened for anti-SARS-Cov-2 activity. Then, using an integrated strategy of LC/MS/MS, molecular networking and NMR, the chemical profile of the active extract was determined. To determine the optimum target for these compounds, docking experiments of the active extract's identified compounds were conducted at several viral targets. The leaves extract showed the best inhibitory effect with IC50 8.231±0.04 μg/ml. The jatrophane diterpenes were provisionally annotated as the primary metabolites of the bioactive leaves extract based on multiplex of LC/MS/MS, molecular network, and NMR. In silico studies revealed the potentiality of the compounds in the most active extract to 3CLpro, where compound 20 showed the best binding affinity. Further attention should be paid to the isolation of various jatrophane diterpenes from Euphorbia and evaluating their effects on SARS-Cov-2 and its molecular targets.

Abstract
Three undescribed diterpenes including two ent-abietanes, euphomauritanol A, and euphomauritanol B, and one jatrophane, euphomauritanophane A, in addition to eight previously described metabolites were isolated from the MeOH-CH2Cl2 (1:1) extract of the Euphorbia mauritanica. The chemical structures of isolates were established based on the spectroscopic means including FT-IR, HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR. The absolute stereochemistry of the undescribed diterpenes was deduced by experimental and calculated TDDFT-electronic circular dichroism (ECD). The anti-proliferative effects of the isolated diterpenes were evaluated against B16-BL6, Hep G2, and Caco-2. The euphomauritanol A, euphomauritanol B, and euphomauritanophane A significantly inhibited the growth of murine melanoma B16-BL6 cell lines with IC50 10.28, 20.22, and 38.81 μM, respectively with no responses against the other cells. These activities were rationalized by molecular docking of the active compounds in BRAFV600E and MEK1 active sites. Moreover, the in-silico pharmacokinetics predictions by Swiss ADME revealed that the active compounds possessed favorable oral bioavailability and drug-likeness properties.

Abstract
Euphorbiaceae is one of the largest families of higher plants, including 7500 species, and many of them are used as medicines in China. From 2013 to 2019, a total of 455 previously undescribed diterpenoids were isolated from 53 species of Euphorbia, and some skeleton types were first discovered from the genus Euphorbia. Most of the diterpenoids isolated from Euphorbia spp. have been tested for their biological activity, and some of them were first reported for Euphorbia diterpenoids in recent years, such as neuroprotection, antimalarial activity and inhibition of osteoclast formation. In this review, we summarize all the isolated diterpenoids from the genus Euphorbia according to their skeleton types, classify all these diterpenoids into 26 normal classes and 37 novel skeleton types, and summarize their biological activity.

Abstract
The roots of Euphorbia fischeriana known as "Langdu" in traditional Chinese medicine have been used for the treatment of tuberculosis in China. Through a bioactive phytochemical investigation of the roots of E. fischeriana, 15 diterpenoids were obtained by various chromatographic techniques. On the basis of wide spectroscopic data, including NMR, UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS, ECD and X-ray crystallography, all of the isolated compounds were elucidated to be ent-abietane diterpenoid analogs, including undescribed eupholides A-H and seven known diterpenoids. In the bioassay for anti-tuberculosis, eupholides F-H moderately inhibited the proliferation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, with the MIC determined to be 50 μM. Furthermore, eupholides G, ent-11α-hydroxyabieta-8(14), 13(15)-dien-16,12α-olide, and jolkinolide F significantly inhibited the lyase activity of human carboxylesterase 2 (HCE 2), with IC50 values of 7.3, 150, and 34.5 nM, respectively.

Abstract
Thirteen new ent-isopimarane-type diterpenoids, 1-10 and 14-16, and seven known diterpenoids, 11-13 and 17-20, were isolated from the roots of Euphorbia hylonoma. Among these compounds, four pairs of C-12 epimers (1 vs 2, 4 vs 5, 12 vs 13, and 14 vs 15) were identified. The structures of the new diterpenoids were elucidated using spectroscopic data analyses, electronic circular dichroism, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The phytotoxic effects of compounds 1-20 on the growth of the roots and shoots of Poa annua and Festuca arundinacea seedlings were evaluated. Among the tested diterpenoids, 18 was the most active for inhibiting the growth of P. annua seedlings, and this compound was as active as glyphosate.

Laxative Effects of Total Diterpenoids Extracted from the Roots of Euphorbia pekinensis Are Attributable to Alterations of Aquaporins in the Colon. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22030465. [PMID: 28335427 PMCID: PMC6155307 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22030465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2017] [Revised: 03/08/2017] [Accepted: 03/12/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the toxic effects of total diterpenoids extracted from the roots of Euphorbia pekinensis (TDEP) on the mouse colon and to clarify the mechanism. Dried powdered roots of E. pekinensis were extracted with chloroform, and then the extract (6.7 g) was subjected to column chromatography and preparative TLC, giving TDEP. Using the HPLC-DAD method, the purity of TDEP was determined as 85.26%. Mice were orally administered with TDEP (3.942, 19.71 and 39.42 mg/kg), after which fecal water content and colon water content were examined. Both of them increased over time after TDEP administration, accompanied by severe diarrhea. Three hours after TDEP administration, the animals were sacrificed to obtain their colons. The mRNA and protein expression levels of aquaporin 1 (AQP1), AQP3 and AQP4 in the colon were measured using real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. TDEP significantly increased the levels of AQP3 and AQP4, but decreased that of AQP1 in dose-dependent manners. Similarly, Pekinenin C, a casbane diterpenoid, significantly increased AQP3 protein and mRNA expressions in human intestinal epithelial cells (HT-29). Histopathological examination revealed that the colon was not significantly damaged. The laxative effects of E. pekinensis were associated with the alterations of AQPs in the colon by TDEP.
