Biological Properties of Latex, Aqueous Extracts and Bee Products of Euphorbia officinarum L.: A Short Review.

ABSTRACT: Euphorbia officinarum L. is a Moroccan endemic plant known as "Tikiout" and "Daghmus" that can also be found in Mauritania, Western Sahara, and Algeria. In the present review, "Euphorbia officinarum", "metabolites" "hemisynthesis" were the keywords used for the research in the Web search engine Google Scholar and in the database Web of Science. Triterpenes, phytosterols and ingol diterpenes were isolated and identified in the latex of Moroccan E. officinarum. More than sixty triterpenes were obtained by hemisynthesis from natural triterpenes. Some of these derivatives had insecticidal and antimicrobial activity (phytopathogenic bacteria). The total phenol content and the antioxidant and anti-α-glucosidase activities were dependent on the time and temperature of extract
