Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of roots of Euphorbia ebracteolata Hayata led to ten higher diterpenoids including seven undescribed ones (1–7) and three analogues (8−10), accompanied by four derivatives (7a and 9a−9c) obtained via chemical correlation. Notably, compound 1 represents a rare dinor-ent-isopimarane diterpenoid. Their structures were fully characterized using a combination of spectroscopic, ECD, chemical, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction means. Cytotoxicity screening suggested that the oxidized derivative of 7 (7a) displayed the most potent activity against non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line HCC827, comparable to the positive control, cisplatin. Mechanistic study revealed that 7a could arrest cell cycle at G1/S phase and induce apoptosis.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry is a leading international journal publishing studies of plant chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, structure and bioactivities of phytochemicals, including ''-omics'' and bioinformatics/computational biology approaches. Phytochemistry is a primary source for papers dealing with phytochemicals, especially reports concerning their biosynthesis, regulation, and biological properties both in planta and as bioactive principles. Articles are published online as soon as possible as Articles-in-Press and in 12 volumes per year. Occasional topic-focussed special issues are published composed of papers from invited authors.
