RESUMO
The stems of Khaya anthotheca yielded two new limonoids, which were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis as 1alpha,8alpha-oxido-3beta-acetoxy-2alpha-acylperoxy-1alpha,14alpha-dihydroxy-[3.3.1(10,2)]-bicyclomeliac-7,19-olide (3) and 3-acetoxy-8,14-dien-8,30-seco-khayalactone (4). Methyl 1alpha,2beta,3alpha,6,8alpha,14beta-hexahydroxy-[4.2.1(10,30).1(1,4)]-tricyclomeliac-7-oate, scopoletin, and 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylsitosterol were also isolated. The limonoids were of little value to clarify the basis of the nonresistance against Hypsipyla grandella.

The dichloromethane extract from leaves of Dictyoloma vandellianum afforded five alkaloids 2-(14'-hydroxy-14',15'-dimethylhexadecanyl)-4-quinolone, 2-(12'-hydroxy-12'-methyltridecanyl)-3-methoxy-4-quinolone, 2-(12'-hydroxy-12'-methyltridecanyl)-4-quinolone, 2-(14'-hydroxy-14',15'-dimethylhexadecanyl)-3-methoxy-4-quinolone, 6-methoxydictyolomide A, besides the known alkaloid 8-methoxyflindersine and beta-sitosterol. The presence of 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinolones in D. vandellianum shows strong similarities with the Zanthoxyleae, which contains several 2-alkyl-4-quinolones. Thus, the Dictyolomatoideae apparently occupies a position between the proto-Rutaceae genera and the Spathelioideae, but close to the Zanthoxyleae.
