Terpenoids and aromatic compounds from Euphorbia heteradena

Abstract

Euphorbia heteradena Jaub. & Spach (Euphorbiaceae). a plant endemic to Turkey, has not been investigated previously. The CH2Cl2 extract of the aerial parts of Euphorbia heteradena yielded 24-methylenecycloartanol, cycloart-25-en-3beta,24-diol, cycloart-22-en-3beta,25-diol, vomifoliol, vomifoliol 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, 3,4,3'-tri-O-methoxy ellagic acid, syringic acid and scopoletin. The structures of the isolates were identified by high field spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR techniques.
