Chemical investigation of Euphorbia helioscopia resulted in the identification of seven new triterpenes named euphorbatrine A-G (1-7), including two (19αH)-lupane (1-2) and three (9βH)-lanostane (4-6), which are very rare metabolites from plants. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, X-ray crystallography and chemical methods. Compounds 5 and 6 triggered apoptosis of Hela-/- cell with EC50 values of 1.59±0.25 and 26.48±0.78μM, respectively.
