Phragmalin-type limonoids with NF-κB inhibition from Chukrasia tabularis var. velutina

摘要

Chemical investigation on Chukrasia tabularis var. velutina led to the identification of eight new phragmalin-type limonoids (1-8), as well as 20 known analogues. Compounds 1-4 are a rare class of C-15-acyl phragmalin-type limonoids, and particularly compounds 2-4 also possess a δ-lactone ring formed between C-16 and C-30. All the isolates were evaluated for inhibitory effects on NF-κB production, and four of which showed significant inhibitions.
