Secondary metabolites of plants from the genus Cipadessa: chemistry and biological activity.
The plants of genus Cipadessa, which are distributed across India and southwest of China, have been used as natural insecticides, as well as folk medicines for the treatment of a range of maladies such as diabetes, dysentery, malaria, piles, snake poison, rheumatism, etc. This article reviews the chemical constituents that have been isolated from Cipadessa species to date, including their biological activities. The compounds listed are tetranortriterpenoids (limonoids), diterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, and some others.
