Resumo(s)
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 extractions and also on the plant solvent ratio. The antioxidant activity of monofloral honey of
E. officinarum origin was attributed to the phenol fraction (this fraction, previously isolated from
honey samples, had better activity than the entire honey).
