TL;DR: The mangrove flora is a diverse group of salt-tolerant plants growing in tropical and subtropical intertidal estuarine zones and the molecular phylogeny and chemotaxonomy of trueMangrove plants is discussed.

TL;DR: Ten new limonoids, hainangranatumins A-J, and 25 known compounds were isolated from seeds of a Chinese mangrove, Xylocarpus granatum, collected on Hainan Island, for the first report of X-ray crystallographic structures of 9,10-seco-mexicanolides with a flexible C2-C30-C8 linkage.

TL;DR: Seven new limonoids (1-7) were isolated from seeds of an Indian mangrove (Xylocarpus granatum) collected from the wetlands of Krishna estuary, Andhra Pradesh, on the basis of spectroscopic data.

TL;DR: Two limonoids, mexicanolide and fissinolide, were found to exhibit marked antifeedant activity against the third-instar larvae of Brontispa longissima (Gestro) at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL.

TL;DR: Five new limonoids, including andhraxylocarpins A and B (1 and 2) which contain a 9-oxa-tricyclo[3.3.1.1(3, 6)]decane-9-one scaffold, were isolated from the seeds of two true mangroves that were collected in the estuaries of Andhra Pradesh, India.
