Trijugin-type limonoids from the leaves of Cipadessa cinerascens

Abstract

Four new trijugin-type limonoids, cipatrijugins A-D (1-4), together with the known cipadesin A (5), were isolated from the leaves of Cipadessa cinerascens, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and computational methods. The ability of compounds 1-5 to inhibit the growth of the A549 and K562 tumor cell lines was evaluated.
