DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Phorbole are diterpene alcohols which are found naturally in various plants. For example in Corton tiglium. Various esters of phorbole such as TPA (12-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate), also known as "natural croton oil factor A1", are potent carcinogens or co-carcinogens. Such ester compounds are also naturally present, as in Euphorbia cyparissiasis of cypress spurge (Euphorbia species).
