Chuktabularins E−T, 16-Norphragmalin Limonoids from Chukrasia tabularis var. velutina

Chuktabularins E-T (1-16), 16 new 16-norphragmalin limonoids, together with four known compounds, chuktabularins A-D, were isolated from the stem bark of Chukrasia tabularis var. velutina. These compounds possess a biosynthetically extended propionyl or acetyl group at C-15 and a characteristic ketal moiety between the limonoid skeleton and the acyl substituent at C-15. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of detailed...
