Abstract:
Five tigliane (1-5) and one ingenane (6) diterpenoids were isolated from the ethanol extract of Euphorbia tirucalli. The structures of these compounds were identified based on analysis of their spectroscopic data. Among them, compound 12-O-(2E,4E,6E,8E-tetradecatetraenoyl)-13-O-isobutyroyl-4β-deoxyphorbol (1) was a new tigliane. The Rho123 effluxion assay showed that tiglianes with a trans-fused 5/7 ring system such as compounds 1, 2, and 4 had potent inhibitory activity against P-glycoprotein in HepG2/ADR cells.
