Abstract: Four new limonoids, toonayunnanaes F-I (1-4), and six known compounds (5-10) were isolated from the barks of Toona ciliata. Their structures were elucidated by thoroughly analyzing of NMR and HRMS data, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction of 1. The oxetane ring moiety in 1 was rare in limonoids and other natural products. Compound 1 showed nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory effect with an IC50 38.45±0.41 μM in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Key words: Meliaceae, Toona ciliate, Limonoids, NO inhibitory effects
