Limonin 17-P-D-glucopyranoside

Limonoid aglycones have been shown to possess certain biological activities such as the inhibition of cancerous tumour growth in laboratory animals (Lam et al. 1989 a,b Miller et al. 1989) and antifeedant activities against insects (Alford and Bentley 1986 Liu et al. 1990). Recently, the glucoside of limonin, limonin 17-P-d-glucopyranoside, was found to possess anticancer activities as well (Miller et al. 1992).
