Preliminary studies of in vitro cytostatic activity on less polar fraction of the MeOH extract of the plant Euphorbia nicaeensis All., carried out on KB cells, have evinced a relatively low ability of extract to inhibit cell growth. Successive, five glucocerebrosides were isolated from the cerebroside molecular species obtained from this extract using normal and reversed phase column 'flash-chromatography'. The structures of these cerebrosides were determined on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidences. Mass spectrometry of dimethyl disulfide derivatives was useful for the determination of the double-bond positions in the long-chain bases.
