Abstract
The Turkish species Euphorbia myrsinites has yielded four new tetracyc lic diterpene tetraesters from a cytotoxic acetone extract, in additio n to the known cycloartane-type triterpenoids and betulin. The new com pounds and their hydrolysis product have been extensively characterize d by high field spectroscopic techniques, and were shown to be four ne w tetraesters of the parent alcohol, myrsinol.
