Phytochemical Investigation of Aglaia andamanica

Abstract

Four new compounds, the limonoid 24-epi-melianodiol (8), the tirucallane aglaiodiol (9), and the two cyclopentatetrahydrobenzopyran derivatives pyramidaglain A (11) and B (12) were isolated from the leaves of Aglaia andamanica Hiern (Meliaceae), together with the eleven known constituents β-sitosterol, β-sitosterol glucoside, cycloart-23E-ene-3β,25-diol (1), three flavonoids 5-hydroxy-3,4′,7-trimethoxyflavone (2), retusin (3) and pachypodol (4), the tirucallane 24-epi-piscidinol A (5), the lignan yangambin (6), the limonoid melianodiol (7), the bisamide pyramidatine (10) and the amino acid N-methyl-trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (13). All structures were established by means of detailed spectroscopic analysis.
