Lathyrane‐Type Diterpenoids from the Seeds of Euphorbia lathyris L. with Inhibitory Effects on NO Production in RAW 264.7 Cells

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract from the seeds of Euphorbia lathyris led to the isolation of 18 lathyrane-type diterpenoids including a new one, Euphorbia factor L29 (1). Their chemical structures were elucidated by extensive NMR spectroscopic data including 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS as well as CD data. All isolates (1 - 18) were found to inhibit the nitric oxide production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages, with their...
