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.
