Abstract

From the Montenegrin spurge Euphorbia dendroides, seven new Diterpenoids [jatrophanes (1-6) and a tigliane (7)] were isolated and their structures elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. The biological activity of the new compounds was studied against four human Cancer cell lines. The most effective jatrophane-type compound (2) and its structurally closely related derivative (1) were evaluated for their interactions with paclitaxel and doxorubicin using a multi-drug-resistant Cancer cell line. Both compounds exerted a strong reversal potential resulting from inhibition of P-glycoprotein transport.
