Ingenane diterpenoids with anti-inflammatory activity from Euphorbia antiquorum.
The Euphorbia plants are famous for their diterpenoid constituents with diverse structures and broad biological activities. Herein, the discovery of 15 ingenane diterpenoids including 10 previously unreported ones (1-10) from Euphorbia antiquorum was presented. Structures of the undescribed compounds were established via detailed spectroscopic analyses. Meanwhile, a preliminary anti-inflammatory screening revealed that compound 6 showed significant inhibitory activity against the production of nitric oxide, as well as downregulated the expression of COX-2 and IL-6, in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Further mechanistical exploration revealed that compound 6 could exert its anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting NF-κB and activating Nrf2 signaling pathways.

2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
