essential sulfhydryl groups in diamine oxidase from euphorbia characias latex.	diamine oxidase from euphorbia characias latex contains two sulfhydryl groups per mole of dimeric enzyme. the sulfhydryl groups are unreactive in the native enzyme but can be readily titrated by 4,4'-dithiodipyridine after protein denaturation, or anaerobically in the presence of the amine substrate. in the presence of both substrates (diamine and oxygen) they react sluggishly. the sulfhydryl groups show different reactivity toward various reagents, but in every case their modification inhibits ...	1983	6401986
tumor promoting and skin irritant diterpene esters of euphorbia virgata latex.	the mouse ear irritant latex of e. virgata, has been found to contain various skin irritant and non-irritant esters of the diterpene ingenol. in cocarcinogenic assay on dorsal back skin of nmri mice, acetone extract of this latex produces squamous cell papilloma. using a combination of biologic and chemical separation techniques one of the initiator-promotor for skin carcinogenesis has been identified as 3-0-2 methyl-decanoyl ingenol.	1981	6458773

anti-inflammatory activity of euphorbia acaulis roxb.	from various extracts of euphorbia acaulis , the n-hexane fraction showed marked anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan induced oedema in rats and mice as compared to phenylbutazone and was equipotent in adrenal- ectomised rats. in chronic models of formaldehyde and adjuvant arthritis, its anti-arthritic activity was found to be superior to that of phenylbutazone. it had a diuretic effect but did not show any analgesic or antipyretic activity.	1984	6727400
use of potato disc and brine shrimp bioassays to detect activity and isolate piceatannol as the antileukemic principle from the seeds of euphorbia lagascae.	etoh extracts of the seeds of euphorbia lagascae inhibited crown gall tumors on potato discs, were active against 3ps (in vivo) and 9ps (in vitro) mouse leukemia, and were toxic to brine shrimp. using the potato disc and brine shrimp bioassays to monitor fractionation, piceatannol (3,4,3',5'- tetrahydroxystilbene ) was isolated as the 3ps active principle. aesculetin (6,7-dihydroxycoumarin) was isolated in large quantity, was weakly cytotoxic in 9kb , but was inactive in the other bioassay syste ...	1984	6736971

lipases of the euphorbiaceae family: purification of a lipase from euphorbia characias latex and structure-function relationships with the b chain of ricin.	a lipase from the latex of euphorbia characias was purified using a method involving extraction with apolar solvent and adsorption chromatography on silica gel. the lipase (specific activity, 1500 international units/mg of protein) was eluted from silica gel complexes with a lipid. the main protein fraction, which had a molecular mass of 38 kda, was inactive when dissociated from the lipid fraction. when the lipid and protein fractions were reassociated, 72% of the lipolytic activity was recover ...	1994	7972058
influence of some traditional medicinal plants of senegal on prostaglandin biosynthesis.	aqueous extracts of combretum micranthum g. don, euphorbia hirta l., guiera senegalensis lam. and melaleuca leucadendron l. were investigated for their influence on prostaglandin biosynthesis (pg i2, pg e2, pg d2). only the extract of euphorbia hirta strongly reduced the release of prostaglandins i2, e2, and d2. additionally euphorbia hirta extracts exerted an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation and depressed the formation of carrageenin induced rat paw oedema. the chemical nature of the a ...	1994	7980813
[determination of esculetin in semen euphorbiae lathyridis l. by tlcs and comparison on the quality in different areas].	a tlc-densitometric method for the determination of oesculetin in semen euphorbia lathyridis (euphorbiae lathyrdis) was established, and esculetin content in semen euphorbia lathyridis from three different producing areas (zhengzhou, chengdu and chongqing) was determined. the method is accurate, sensitive and simple. the recovery is 98.63% and the coefficient of variation is 1.59% (n = 5). the esculetin average contents in the three samples are 0.3013%, 0.2046% and 0.2094% respectively.	1993	8011091
screening of epstein-barr virus early antigen expression inducers from chinese medicinal herbs and plants.	ether extracts of 1693 chinese medicinal herbs and plants from 268 families were studied for the induction of epstein-barr viral (ebv) early antigen (ea) expression in the raji cell line. fifty-two from 18 families were found to have inducing activity. twenty-five and seven of them were from euphorbiaceae and thymelaeaeeae, respectively. some of them, such as croton tiglium, euphorbia kansui, daphne genkwa, wikstroemia chamaedaphne, wikstroemia indica, prunus mandshurica koehne and achyranthes b ...	1994	8024719
molecular phylogeny of families related to celastrales based on rbcl 5' flanking sequences.	the region between the rbcl and atpb chloroplast genes and the first 53 codons of the rbcl gene have been sequenced for 19 species of angiosperms. nine of these belong to the four largest families within the order celastrales sensu cronquist (i.e., aquifoliaceae s.l., icacinaceae, celastraceae, and hippocrateaceae). both phenetic and cladistic approaches were used to test the monophyly of the order and to specify its relationships with euphorbiaceae, rhamnaceae, rosaceae, and theaceaea. based up ...	1994	8025727
resiniferatoxin and piperine: capsaicin-like stimulators of oxygen uptake in the perfused rat hindlimb.	the naturally occurring capsaicin-like molecules, resiniferatoxin (rtx, euphorbia spp.) and piperine (piper nigrum), each stimulated oxygen uptake (vo2) in association with increased vascular resistance in a concentration-dependent manner when infused into the perfused rat hindlimb. 5 microm glyceryl trinitrate (gtn, a nitrovasodilator) significantly blocked the oxygen and pressure responses to both rtx and piperine, indicating a close relationship between changes in vo2 and the vasoconstriction ...	1994	8035653
constituents of euphorbiaceae 12. comm. (1). isolation and structure elucidation of four new cerebrosides from euphorbia biglandulosa desf.	four new cerebrosides 4-6 were isolated from the latex of euphorbia biglandulosa desf. and their structures determined. normal and reverse-phase flash chromatography was effective for the isolation of the cerebrosides, and fab-ms spectrometry, 1h-nmr, 13c-nmr, dqf-cosy and hmqc experiments and chemical reactions were useful in elucidating their structure. ei-ms of the dimethyl disulfide derivatives of the long chain bases and glucosphingoside-heptaacetates was decisive for the determination of t ...	1994	8043167
african burkitt's lymphoma: a plant, euphorbia tirucalli, reduces epstein-barr virus-specific cellular immunity.	endemicity of burkitt's lymphoma (bl) coincides with profusion of a plant euphorbia tirucalli in tropical africa. e. tirucalli contains 4-deoxyphorbol ester that enhances epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection of b lymphocytes. in this study, we found that 4-deoxyphorbol ester reduced ebv-specific cytotoxic t-cell function. furthermore, the b lymphocytes dually exposed to ebv and 4-deoxyphorbol ester were resistant to ebv-specific t cell cytotoxicity, through down-regulation of latent membrane prote ...	1994	8074496
