Bioorg Med Chem. 2009 Jan 15;17(2):727-30. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2008.11.048. Epub 2008 Nov 24.

Abstract

Three new limonoids, ceramicines B-D (1-3), have been isolated from the bark of Chisocheton ceramicus. Structures and stereochemistry of 1-3 were fully elucidated and characterized by 2D NMR analysis. Ceramicines exhibited a moderate antiplasmodial activity.
