Jatrophane diterpenes from Euphorbia spp. as modulators of multidrug resistance in cancer therapy

Abstract: A phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Euphorbia spp., considered one of the most common elements of Mediterranean landascape, led to the isolation of a large number of bioactive plant metabolites, belonging to the diterpenes family. Above all, over seventy jatrophane, modified jatrophane, segetane, pepluane, and paraliane diterpenoids, fifty of them reported for the first time, were extracted, purified and characterized from Euphorbia dendroides, Euphorbia characias, Euphorbia peplus, Euphorbia … Show more

“…Prostratin (a tigliane), which is produced by Homalanthus nutans, Euphorbia fischeriana, and Euphorbia cornigera, has shown potential as an adjuvant therapy for the treatment of latent HIV infection (Miana et al, 1985;Qing-Gao et al, 1997;Kulkosky et al, 2001;Johnson et al, 2008). The jatrophane esters, which are produced by a number of Jatropha and Euphorbia species, have been shown to inhibit p-glycoprotein transporters responsible for efflux of chemotherapeutic agents and may therefore be useful for the treatment of multidrug resistant cancers (Corea et al, 2009;Reis et al, 2012). Jatrophone from Jatropha isabelli has antiplasmodial activity (Hadi et al, 2013).…”

“…Among them, jatrophane-and myrsinane-type compounds are reported in this study. Jatrophanes are modulators of multidrug resistance in cancer therapy (Corea et al 2009). Myrsinanes have been found to possess cytotoxic, spasmolytic immunosuppressive and antiangiogenic activities which made them useful in the treatment of various diseases (Li et al 2010;Ghanadian et al 2014;Ghanadian, Ayatollahi, Mesaik, et al 2013;Ghanadian, Ayatollahi, Afsharypuor, et al 2013).…”

“…Analogues of lead compounds isolated from nature are synthesized and tested with the aim of finding the best candidate for drug development with more potent activity and reduced side-effects. This step in the pharmacological research is the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) (Corea et al 2005(Corea et al , 2009Barile et al 2007). …”
