Tirucallol is a naturally occurring tetracyclic triterpenoid alcohol found in various plant species, notably in the latex of Euphorbia lactea and the resin of Pistacia lentiscus (mastic tree). It is structurally related to other triterpenes and has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.[1]

Tirucallol has been isolated from the latex of Euphorbia lactea and from the resin of Pistacia lentiscus, commonly known as mastic gum. These natural sources have been traditionally used for their medicinal properties, and the presence of tirucallol contributes to their bioactivity.[2][3]
