Limonoids of Teclea ouabanguiensis.
The stem bark of Teclea ouabanguiensis has yielded six triterpenoids, two of which are new. The known compounds were identified spectroscopically as 7-deacetylazadirone (2), 7-deacetylproceranone (3), tecleanin, (4), and lupeol. The novel compounds include the tetranortriterpenoids, 7-deacetoxy-7-oxoazadirone (1), and ouabanginone (5). The biogenetic significance of the presence of these limonoids in T. ouabanguienis is discussed.
