Abstract

Four novel tetranortriterpenoids, xylomexicanins E-H (1-4), were isolated from the seeds of the Chinese mangrove, Xylocarpus granatum. Among them, xylomexicanin E (1) represents the first example of limonoid with azaspiro skeleton between B (pyrrolidine) and C rings, whose biosynthetic pathways were proposed. The structures were elucidated on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR (including 1H, 13C NMR, DEPT, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) and confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometry. Compound 2, the second example of a limonoid with a C-9-C-30 linkage, showed moderate activity against the A549 and RERF cell line with IC50 value of 18.83 and 15.83 μM.
