Phytochemistry. 2008 Feb;69(3):812-9. doi: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2007.09.013. Epub 2007 Oct 31.

Abstract

An extensive study of metabolites present in Euphorbia esula led to isolation of 16 ingenane diterpenoids 1-16 together with the known ingenane derivative 17 and four known cycloartane triterpenoids. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic studies and comparison with known related compounds. All the compounds were assayed for their inhibitory activity against human HeLa cervical cancer cell line.
