ABSTRACT

Investigation of the chloroform extract of Euphorbia ammak leaves led to the isolation of three compounds: euphol (1), D-glutinol (2) and stigmasterol (3) Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR, as well as by comparison with the reported data. Compounds 1-3 exhibited cytotoxicity in vitro against human cervical adenocarcinoma (Hela), among which, compound 1 showed the best activity.
