swietenolide/swietenia mahagoni

The ether extract from the seeds of Swietenia mahagoni Jacq. (Meliaceae) was found to inhibit platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced platelet aggregation. Systematic separation of the extract afforded twenty eight tetranortriterpenoids related to swietenine and swietenolide. Among them, several

Solvent partitioning followed by column chromatography of the MeOH extract of the seeds of Swietenia mahagoni afforded two limonoids, swietenolide (1) and 2-hydroxy-3-O-tigloylswietenolide (2). The compounds were identified by spectroscopic means. The antibacterial activity of these compounds was

Natural resources provide more efficient and safer alternatives in managing diabetes compare to the synthetic oral anti diabetes (OAD). The plants not only have hypoglycemic effect, but also prevent its complications; in which no synthetic drugs provide of both
