Chemical constituents from leaves and root bark of Trichilia monadelpha (Meliaceae)

2018

Abstract Two new limonoid derivatives designated, monadelphin A (1) and monadelphin B (2) and two new sesquiterpene derivatives named trichins A (3) and B (4) were isolated together with six known compounds (5–10) from the mixture of methylene chloride/methanol (1:1) extract of leaves and root bark of Trichilia monadelpha (Meliaceae) collected in Cameroon. The structures of the new compounds were unambiguously established by detailed spectroscopic analysis including 1D and 2D NMR data in conjunction with high resolution mass spectrometry data and by comparison of these data with those of related compounds described in the literature. Compounds 1–4 were screened for their cytotoxic potential…
