J Nat Prod. 2017 Sep 22;80(9):2547-2550. doi: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.7b00305. Epub 2017 Aug 22.

Abstract

Two tetranortriterpenoids with new skeletons, xylomexicanins I and J (1 and 2), were isolated during the investigation of chemical constituents from seeds of the Chinese mangrove, Xylocarpus granatum. Xylomexicanin I (1) is an unprecedented limonoid with bridged B- and C-rings. A biosynthesis pathway for 1 from xylomexicanin F is proposed.
