Phytochemistry. 1998 Nov 20;49(6):1769-1772. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(98)00284-2.

Abstract

A new limonoid was isolated from the bark of Khaya senegalensis and identified as 2,6-dihydroxyfissinolide. The assignments of some signals in the (13)C NMR spectrum of fissinolide have been reversed and the signals of the (1)H NMR spectrum of methyl 3beta-acetoxy-6-hydroxy-1-oxomeliac-14-enoate have been assigned. The limonoids only showed moderate antiprotozoal activities.
