Fig. 84 Jatropha multifida is
known as Say-ma-khan. The
stems are used in Myanmar
traditional medicine
stems have been reported to have antimicrobial, antimalarial, antitumor, antileishmanial, antiulcer [517, 519], anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities [520].
In addition, J. multifida biosynthesizes several characteristic types of secondary
metabolites, such as acylphloroglucinols (multifidol and multifidol glucoside)
[521], diterpenoids (multifolone, (4E)-jatrogrossidentadione acetate, jatrophone,
citlalitrione, 3β-acetoxy-12-methoxy-13-methyl-podocarpa-8,11,13-trien-7-one,
(4E)-jatrogrossidentadione, 15-epi-(4E)-jatrogrossidentadione [522], jatromulone
A, 3β,12-dihydroxy-13-methylpodocarpane-8,10,13-triene, (2S,3R,5S,10R)-2,3dihydroxy-15,16-di-nor-ent-pimar-8,11,13-triene,
(2S,3R,5S,10R)-2-acetoxy3-hydroxy-15,16-di-nor-ent-pimar-8,11,13-triene,
gossweilone,
jatrointelone
A, jatrophodione A, 1,2-dihydroheudelotinol, heudelotinone) [523], and a
coumarinolignan (cleomiscosin A) [524]).
In 2017, the anti-influenza effects of different extracts of a sample of J. multifida
native to Myanmar were reported [525]. The survival of influenza A H1N1 virus
(A/PR/8/34)-infected MDCK cells was evaluated with extracts of different polarities
