Euphol, a major constituent found in Euphorbia tirucalli effectively inhibited via a reversible mechanism, the monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) activity (IC50 = 315 nM), which is a serine hydrolase involved in the biological deactivation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG).

Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Euphol, a major constituent found in Euphorbia tirucalli effectively inhibited via a reversible mechanism, the monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) activity (IC50 = 315 nM), which is a serine hydrolase involved in the biological deactivation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG) [1-3]. Euphol exhibits diverse biological activities, such as anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects[4].
Euphol-induced(0-125ug/ml) poptosis revealed by elevated caspase 3/7 activity, was correlated with a significant inhibition of MAP kinase/Erk 1/2 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in glioblastoma U87 MG cells[5]. Euphol(2- 60 µg/mL;72h) can inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer CS12 cells. Euphol induces ERK1/2 phosphorylation in CS12 cells[6]. In T47D human breast cancer cells, treatment of cells with different doses of euphol(0.01mM-0.3mM) for 24, 48, 72 h resulted in decreased cell viability, accompanied by G1 phase cell accumulation[7].
Euphol treatment decreased cyclin D1 expression and low phosphorylation of Rb. Euphol(10 mg/kg; p.o.) attenuates the clinical signs of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), It inhibited EAE induced dyskinesia [8].Mice treated with euphol (30 mg/kg;p.o.) were protected from marked body weight loss and recovered a healthy appearance that was similar to that of control healthy mice (non-colitic) [9].
