Abstract
Two new tetracyclic diterpene polyesters, euphoportlandols A (1) and B (2), have been isolated along with 12 known tetracyclic triterpenes from an acetone extract of Euphorbia portlandica. Their structures were established as 5alpha,11alpha,14alpha,17-tetraacetoxy-3beta-benzoyloxy-6beta,15beta-dihydroxy-9-oxoseget-8(12)-ene (1) and 5alpha,11alpha,14alpha,17-tetraacetoxy-3beta-benzoyloxy-6beta,15beta-dihydroxy-9-oxosegetane (2), respectively, by spectroscopic data interpretation. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their ability to inhibit multidrug resistance in cancer cells. Both compounds were found to be inhibitors of P-glycoprotein activity.

Abstract
Molecular maps of atom-level properties (MOLMAPs) were developed to represent the diversity of chemical bonds existing in a molecule. Chemical reactivity, being related to the ability for bond breaking and bond making, is primarily determined by the properties of bonds available in a molecule. In order to use physicochemical properties of individual bonds for an entire molecule, and at the same time having a fixed-length molecular representation, all the bonds of a molecule are mapped into a fixed-size 2D self-organizing map (MOLMAP). This article illustrates the application of MOLMAP descriptors to QSAR, with a study of the radical scavenging activity of 47 naturally occurring phenolic antioxidants. Counterpropagation neural networks (CPG NNs) were trained with MOLMAP descriptors selected using genetic algorithms to predict antioxidant activity. The model was subsequently validated by the leave-one-out (LOO) procedure obtaining a q(2) of 0.71. Random Forests were grown with the entire set of MOLMAP descriptors giving 70% of correct classifications as potent, active or inactive in a LOO experiment. Interpretations of both models in terms of discriminant variables were concordant and allowed identifying bonds and substructures that are mostly responsible for antioxidant activity. This work shows how MOLMAPs can be used for data mining of structural and biological activity data, leading to the extraction of relationships between local properties and activity.

Abstract
The new macrocyclic lathyrane diterpenes latilagascenes A and B ( 1 and 2), the diacetylated derivative of 2, latilagascene C ( 3), and the known diterpenes ent-16alpha,17-dihydroxyatisan-3-one ( 4) and ent-16alpha,17-dihydroxykauran-3-one ( 5), isolated from the methanol extract of Euphorbia lagascae, were examined for their effects on the reversal of multidrug resistance (MDR) on mouse lymphoma cells. Among the active lathyrane derivatives 1 - 3, compound 2 displayed the highest inhibition of rhodamine 123 efflux of human MDR1 gene transfected mouse lymphoma cells when compared to the untreated cells or the positive control verapamil. The new compounds are the first macrocyclic lathyrane diterpenes showing oxidation at C-16, whose structures were characterized by extensive spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR experiments ( (1)H- (1)H COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY). The known phenolic compounds vanillic acid ( 6), p-salicylic acid ( 7), isofraxidin ( 8) and cleomiscosin A ( 9) were also isolated from this species.

Abstract
A new sesquiterpene-coumarin ether (5'beta,9'alpha,10'alpha)-7-0-(3alpha-methoxy-8'(12')-drimen-11'-yl)-scopoletin, designated driportlandin (1) and a new abietane quinoid diterpene 16-hydroxy-abieta-8,12-diene-11,14-dione, named portlanquinol (2) together with lupeol, nepehinol, wrightial, formonetin and davidigenin were isolated and characterized from the Me2CO extract of whole dried plant of Euphorbia portlandica. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated from spectral data including 2D-NMR experiments of COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY. When examined for their effects on the reversal of multidrug resistance(MDR) on mouse lymphoma cells, compound 1 proved to be more active than the positive control verapamil and compound 2 was found to be toxic. This is the first report on the isolation of a sesquiterpene-coumarin and a quinoid-type diterpenoid from Euphorbia.

Abstract
The structures of euphopubescenol and euphopubescene, two new macrocyclic jatrophane diterpene polyesters, isolated from the whole dried plant of Euphorbia pubescens, were established as 5alpha,8alpha,15beta-triacetoxy-3alpha-benzoyloxy -4alpha-hydroxy -9,14-dioxo-13beta H-jatropha-6(17),11 E-diene ( 1) and 3beta,7beta,8beta,9alpha,14alpha,15beta-hexaacetoxy-2beta H-jatropha-5 E,11 E-diene ( 2) by 1D- and 2D-NMR (COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY), IR, EI-MS and EI-FTICR-MS. Two known lathyrane derivatives, jolkinol A ( 3) and jolkinol A ( 4), whose (13)C-NMR spectra were assigned, were also isolated. Compounds 1 - 3 have been evaluated for their ability to inhibit the in vitro growth of three human tumour cell lines representing different tumour types, MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer) and SF-268 (CNS cancer). They inhibited both MCF-7 and NCI-H460 cell lines, with GI50 values ranging between 40.9 microM and 95.3 microM, but were found to be ineffective as growth inhibitors of the SF-268 cell line.

Abstract
The ability of fifteen cycloartanes, isolated from Euphorbia species, to reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) and apoptosis induction in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, including its multidrug-resistant subline, was studied by flow cytometry. Reversion of MDR was investigated using a standard functional assay with rhodamine 123 as a fluorescent substrate analogue. For the evaluation of apoptosis, the cells were stained with FITC-labeled annexin V and propidium iodide. The majority of the compounds were able to reverse MDR of the tested human MDR1 gene-transfected mouse lymphoma cells. Some of the compounds were able to induce moderate apoptosis in the PAR cell line, but this effect was less effective on multidrug-resistant cells. The results indicate that cycloartanes can be substrates of ABC transporters, which might compete with certain anticancer chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Bioassay-guided fractionation of an extract of Holarrhena floribunda stem, has led to the isolation of the new trichothecenes, 8-dihydrotrichothecinol A (1), loukacinol A (2), and loukacinol B (3), and the known compounds, trichothecolone (4), trichothecin (5), trichothecinol A (6), rosenonolactone (7), 6beta-hydroxyrosenonolactone (8), and rosololactone (9). The structures were determined by spectral and chemical methods, and absolute configurations were established by a modified Horeau's method using HPLC. Compounds 1 and 6 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against several human tumor cell lines, whereas compound 8 showed moderate and weak antileishmanial activity toward extracellular and intracellular Leishmania donovani, respectively.

Abstract
Following an ethnobotanical search carried out in Guinea-Bissau, eighteen extracts derived from sixteen medicinal species were screened for antimicrobial, antitumor and antileishmania activity. Significant antitumor activity was found for Holarrhena floribunda against KB (squamous carcinoma), SK-Mel 28 (melanoma), A 549 (lung carcinoma) and MDA-MB 231 (mamma carcinoma) cell lines, with corresponding IC50 values of 7.9, 9.0, 3.4 and 9.9 micrograms/ml. Khaya senegalensis and Anthostema senegalense exhibited a significant activity against Leishmania donovani with IC50 values of 9.8 and 9.1 micrograms/ml, respectively. Most of the extracts showed week or moderate antibacterial and antifungal activity, with MIC values in the range 0.25-1.0 mg/ml. Active extracts were submitted to bioassay-guided fractionation, and the IC50 and MIC of the active fractions were determined.
