New Limonoids from Dictyoloma vandellianum and Sohnreyia excelsa: Chemosystematic Considerations

Molecular phylogenetic studies separated and united a group of genera that constituted the Spathelia-Ptaeroxylon clade, in which Dictyoloma and Sohnreyia have been included. Our taxonomic interest in the Dictyoloma vandellianum and Sohnreyia excelsa stimulated an investigation of both species searching for limonoids. Leaves from D. vandellianum afforded the new limonoid 1,2-dihydro-1α-hydroxy-8,30-epoxy-cneorin R, and heartwood yielded the new rearranged limonoid dictyolomin. Leaves from S. excelsa afforded the new protolimonoid 3β-angeloyloxy-7α,24,25-trihydroxy-21,23-oxide-14,18-cycloapotirucall-21-methoxycetal and the new cycloheptanyl ring C limonoid with carbonate substituent and named as sohnreyolide. The new limonoids from Sohnreyia and Dictyoloma show similarities with those from Rutaceae and Meliaceae, providing support for moving Spathelia-Ptaeroxylon clade near to these associated large families.
