The title compound [systematic name: (2S*,3S*,4R*,5R*,9S*,11S*,15R*)-5,15-diacetoxy-3-nicotinoyloxy-14-oxolathyra-6(17),12(E)-diene], C30H37NO7, was isolated from the seeds of Euphorbia lathyris. The tricyclic diterpenoid molecule contains an 11-membered ring, a five-membered ring exhibiting an envelope conformation and a three-membered ring. The 11-membered ring is cis-fused with the three-membered ring and trans-fused with the five-membered ring.
