Abstract:
Three new diterpenoids, stracheyioids A-C (1-3), as well as 36 known compounds (4-39) were isolated from the whole plants of Euphorbia stracheyi. Compound 1 was a rare 13-deoxy tigliane diterpenoid and compound 2 was an ingenol diterpenoid characterized by an unique 2Z,4Z-decadienoyl acidic moieties. All the known compounds were isolated from E. stracheyi for the first time. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic interpretation. Compounds 1-39 were tested for their cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines (A-549, MCF-7, Hep G2, Hela and P388) and showed IC50 values in the range 6.64-42.86 μM. The antiangiogenic activities of the isolated compounds were also evaluated using a zebrafish model.

Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine lack a catecholamine group, making them less susceptible to degradation by metabolic enzymes. They have increased oral bioavailability and lipophilicity, resulting in a longer duration of action. Their response is reduced by...

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
