Abstract

A new limonoid, 3-de(2-methylbutanoyl)-3-propanoylcipadesin (1), along with 10 known limonoids and 1 known triterpenoid, was isolated from the fruits of Cipadessa cinerascens. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. All compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities, and compounds 6 and 12 showed weak antimicrobial activities against MRSA 82(#) and MRSA 92(#).

Keywords: Cipadessa cinerascens; antimicrobial activities; limonoids.
