Carapanolides T-X from Carapa guianensis (Andiroba) Seeds

Molecules. 2015 Nov 24;20(11):20955-66. doi: 10.3390/molecules201119737.

Abstract

Two new mexicanolide-type limonoids, carapanolides T-U (1-2), and three new phragmalin-type limonoids, carapanolides V-X (3-5), were isolated from the seeds of Carapa guianensis (andiroba). Their structures were determined on the basis of 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy.

Keywords: Carapa guianensis; Meliaceae; NO production; andiroba; limonoid; mexicanolide; phragmalin; seeds.
