ABSTRACT
Two unusual phorbol esters, namely 20-deoxyphorbol-3,4,12-triacetate-13-phenylacetate (1) and phorbol-3,4,12,13-tetraacetate-20-phenylacetate (2) plus ingol-3,8,12-triacetate-7-phenylacetate (3) were isolated from the latex of Euphorbia umbellata and identified by HRESIMS and 2D NMR. Compound 1 is herein described for the first time. Assignment of the phenylacetyl group at C-7 in compound 3 was suggested by the HMBC and NOESY spectra obtained in pyridine-d5. In addition to the latex and its distinct terpenoid fractions, the isolated compounds were tested as latent reversal agents against HIV-1-infected J-Lat cells, with reference to phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate and ingenol-B. Compound 2 reverted 75-80% the viral latency on the GFP-positive cells, resulting EC50 3.70 µg/mL (SI 6.7), while 1 induced 34-40% reactivation at the same concentration range (4-20 µg/mL). The ingol derivative 3 was ineffective. Phorbol esters were confirmed as effective constituents in the latex since the fraction containing them was 2.4-fold more active than the lyophilised latex at the lowest concentration assayed.
