Active Phytochemicals
1. Limonoid
Limonoid are phytochemicals of the triterpenoid class which are abundant in sweet or sour-scented citrus fruit and other plants of the family of Meliaceae. A wide range of biological activities for these compounds, including insect anti-feedant and growth regulating properties, a variety of medicinal effects in animals and humans, and anti-fungal, anti-bactericidal, and antiviral activity.

2. Tetranortritrepanoids (4,4,8-trimethyl-17-furanyl)
Neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae) seeds contain a number of complex triterpenoids which are of great interest as they exhibit a variety of biological properties. Several of these contain UV chromophores such as α,β - unsaturated ketone, furan, α,β -unsaturated ester and tigloyl groups. The bio-efficacy of neem formulations is altered due to degradation of the triterpenoids under light exposure. Hence, it is relevant to study the formation, isolation and bio-activity of the products formed when pure samples of these limonoids are exposed to sunlight. Herein the photolysis of salannin, one of the major triterpenoids present in the neem seed.

4. Swietenoloide (3,6-O,O-diacetylswietenolide)
5. hexadecanoate

8. 6-O-acetylswietephragmin E
9. 2,11-diacetoxyswetenialide D
10. Liganin (3-hydroxycaruilignam)
