J Nat Prod. 1995 May;58(5):769-72. doi: 10.1021/np50119a020.

Abstract

The novel phorbol ester 12-deoxyphorbol 13-(3E,5E-decadienoate) [1] was isolated as the anti-HIV principle of Excoecaria agallocha leaves and stems collected in northwest Australia. The structure was determined by spectral means. Compound 1 was also a potent displacer of [3H]-phorbol dibutyrate from rat brain membranes.
