RESUMO
A chemical investigation on the aerial parts of Euphorbia neriifolia led to the identification of thirteen undescribed diterpenoids, phorneroids A-M, including ent-abietane (A-D), ent-kaurane (E-G), ent-atisane (H-K), and ent-isopimarane (L and M) types, together with three known compounds. Phorneroid A represents the first example of 8-spiro-fused 9,10-seco-ent-abietane diterpenoid lactone featuring a unique 6/5/6/5 spirocyclic framework. Biological assays showed that some of the compounds displayed moderate cytotoxicity against two human tumor cell lines, A549 and HL-60.

Fifteen new labdane-type diterpenoids, sublyratins A-O (1-15), along with four known analogues (16-19) were isolated from the aerial parts of Croton sublyratus. Their structural assignments were challenging due to the stereoisomeric features evident and were achieved by analyzing comprehensively the spectroscopic data and electronic circular dichroism spectra and using X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compounds 9 and 16-18 displayed cytotoxic activity against the HL-60 cell line with IC50 values of 1.5-2.8 µM.
