Abstract
Methyl angolensate and capensolactones 1–3 were isolated from the seed of Ekebergia capensis.
The hexane extract of the seed of
Ekebergia capensis (Meliaceae) yielded the novel limonoids, capensolactones 1–3 and the previously isolated methyl 3α-hydroxy-3-deoxyangolensate. Structures were determined by 2D NMR, mass spectroscopy and chemical methods.
