Phorbol is a natural, plant-derived organic compound. It is a member of the tigliane family of diterpenes. Phorbol was first isolated in 1934 as the hydrolysis product of croton oil, which is derived from the seeds of the purging croton, Croton tiglium.[2][3][4][5][6] The structure of phorbol was determined in...

Phorbol is a diterpene originally isolated from croton oil. It is used as a starting material for the semisynthesis of various phorbol diesters, which are structurally analogous to diacylglycerol and activate PKC isoforms by associating with their C1 domains.Formal Name:...
