Xylomexicanins C and D, new mexicanolide-type limonoids from Xylocarpus granatum

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2013;77(4):736-40. doi: 10.1271/bbb.120815. Epub 2013 Apr 7.

Abstract

Two new limonoids, named xylomexicanins C and D, were isolated from a dichloromethane extract of the seeds of Xylocarpus granatum cultivated in Hainan, China, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR (including 1H, 13C-NMR, DEPT, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) and confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometry. Xylomexicanin C exhibited antiproliferative activity against human breast carcinoma cells (KT).
