Nearly 60 spp. from the genera Euphorbia L. and Elaeophorbia Stapf were investigated for diterpenes of the tigliane, ingenane and ortho-ester classes. The diterpenes were isolated as their acetates by a micro-technique from latex or fresh herb material collected from several countries around the world. Authentication of the diterpenes was by chromatographic means using spectroscopic methods as back-up data. These compounds were absent from only 9% of the species examined. The most commonly occurring diterpene was ingenol, followed closely by 12-Deoxy phorbol. The ingenane derivative 5-Deoxy-ingenol was always detected as a minor companion to ingenol from species of the section Tithymalus. Species of the section Euphorbium contained mainly the diterpene ingenol although both tigliane and ortho-ester diterpenes were present in some species. Species from the sections Anisophyllum and Poinsettia did not contain diterpenes of the type in question, while species from the genus Elaeophorbia yielded ingenol. These results provide additional chemical evidence concerning recent suggestions on the subgeneric and generic status of [sections] Anisophyllum, Poinsettia, Tithymalus and Elaeophorbia.
