Abstract

Further examination of the seeds of Toona ciliata led to the isolation of two new norlimonoids which were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis as 5 α,6 β,8 α-trihydroxy-28-norisotoonafolin and 5 α,6 β,8 α,12 α-tetrahydroxy-28-norisotoonafolin. In addition, the known limonoids cedrelone and toonacilin and the sterols sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol and 3 β- O- β- d-glucopyranosylsitosterol were also isolated and characterised. These results show that Toona has a less pronounced relationship to the Swietenioideae.
