Euphanoids A and B, two new lathyrane diterpenoids with nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity from Euphorbia kansuensis

Two new lathyrane diterpenoids, euphanoids A and B (1 and 2), along with five known compounds (3–7) were isolated from the roots of Euphorbia kansuensis. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configuration of 1 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. All of the isolates were screened for the inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW264.7 cells,...
