RESUMO

The methanol extract of the seeds of Khaya ivorensis afforded two new mexicanolide limonoids, ivorensines A and B (1 and 2), together with one known compound, ruageanin D (3). The structures of the isolated compounds were established based on 1 D and 2 D (1H-1H COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, in addition to high resolution mass spectrometry. The isolated limonoids were tested in vitro for antimicrobial potentials against 5 pathogenic microorganisms. As a result, compounds 1-3 exhibited antimicrobial activity against the tested Gram negative bacteria at the minimum inhibitory concentration values less than 50 µg/ml.
