    Abstract:
    The Euphorbia plants are the focus of natural product drug discovery because of their fascinating structural diversity and broad biological activities. Here we reported the discovery of eight undescribed diterpenoids, including two ent-trachylobanes, five ent-atisanes, and one ent-abietane, together with 15 known ones from the whole plant of Euphorbia wallichii. Their chemical structures were elucidated by detailed spectrometry data analysis and X-ray crystallography. Among them, wallichane G represents a rare ent-atisane type pentacyclic diterpenoid featuring a tetrahydrofuran moiety. Furthermore, bioassays indicated that jolkinolide B exhibited potent inhibitory activities on the production of NO, with an IC50 value of 3.84 ± 0.25 μM. Meanwhile, the mechanistic study revealed that jolkinolide B could obviously downregulate the expression of iNOS, COX-2, NF-κB, and phosphorylated IκBα in a dose-dependent manner and strongly upregulate the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein, thereby suppressing the inflammatory process in macrophage cells induced by LPS.
