From the roots of Cedrela fissilis (Meliaceae) were isolated the limonoid 3β-acetoxycarapin, new as natural product, along with the triterpenes oleanolic and oleanonic acid. These compounds and other six mexicanolide limonoids previously isolated from C. fruticosa showed insecticidal activity against the leaf-cutting ants Atta sexdens rubropilosa. ©2005 Sociedade Brasileira de Química.1391-1395engCedrela fissilisCipadessa fruticosaInsecticidal activityLimonoidsTriterpenesArtigo10.1590/S0103-50532005000800015S0103-50532005000800015WOS:000234078700015Acesso aberto2-s2.0-308444630272-s2.0-30844463027.pdf
