1992
From the fresh latex of Euphorbia cooperi N E Br was isolated by partition and chromatographic methods, a diterpene ester 12-deoxyphorbol-16-isobutyrate-13-tigliate. The phorbol ester exhibited highly irritant activity on the mouse ear. Since skin irritancy is an indication of possible tumour promotion, the use of this plant as a medicine should be discouraged
