The leaves of Khaya senegalensis yielded two new limonoids. These comp
ounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis as methyl
1 alpha-acetoxy-3 beta,6,8 alpha-trihydroxy-2 alpha-methoxy-2 beta,14
-epoxy-[4.2.1(10,30).1(1,4)]-tricyclomeliac-7-oate and methyl 1 alpha
-acetoxy-6,8 alpha,14 beta,30 beta-terrahydroxy-3-oxo [3.3.1(10,2).1(1
,4)]-tricyclomeliac-7-oate. Scopoletin, beta-quercitrin and rutin were
also isolated. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
