Euphorbe ésule

Euphorbia esula

Euphorbia esula, commonly known as slender spurge, is a plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America. While traditionally used in some herbal practices for various purposes, no specific traditional uses have been recorded. Scientifically, Euphorbia esula has shown larvicidal activity against sheep gastrointestinal nematode larvae, with ≥90% mortality observed at 48 hours using a higher dose. Additionally, the plant contains two new chemical constituents and nine known ones, some of which exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. Six new sesquiterpene esters were identified from Euphorbia esula, showing potential anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic effects. The ecological importance of this plant is recognized for its role in maintaining community function in artificial sand-fixing forests. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been reported to date.
