Abstract

Seven new phragmalin limonoids, chukvelutilides I–O (1–7), were isolated from the stem barks of Chukrasia tabularis var. velutina. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Among them, compound 1 showed moderate lethal activity against brine shrimp larvae, with an LC50 value of 84.1 µM.

Key words

Chukrasia tabularis - Meliaceae - phragmalin - limonoid - chukvelutilide I - Artemia sinica
