Euphohelioscopin A, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), it inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation of the myeloid leukemia cell lines THP-1 and HL-60. Euphohelioscopin A has anti-inflammary activity, it exhibits moderate inhibitory activity
20-Deoxyingenol 3-angelate and ingenol 20-acetate 3-angelate are known as promoters of tumors of mouse skin. 20-Deoxyingenol 3-angelate can induce significant platelet aggregation accompanied by induction of phosphorylation of PKC substrates in platelets,
Pepluanin A, shows a very high activity for a jatrophane diterpene, outperforming cyclosporin A by a factor of at least 2 in the inhibition of Pgp-mediated daunomycin transport.
(±)-Boehmenan shows potent protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity in vitro with the IC(50) values of 43.5 uM, it inhibits PTP1B activity in a competitive manner. Boehmenan exhibits the potent cytotoxic effects against many cancer cell
Jolkinol A can inhibit both MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer) cell lines, with GI50 values ranging between 40.9 microM and 95.3 microM.
ent-11alpha-Hydroxyabieta-8(14),13(15)-dien-16,12alpha-olide shows significant cytotoxic activity against ANA-1 and Jurkat cells with IC50 values 7.12 x 10(-3) and 1.79 x 10(-2) microM.
31-Norlanostenol is a triterpene isolated from the latex of Euphorbia officinarum. It can act as an efficient insect growth regulator on S. frugiperda and Tenebrio molitor.
