New chemical constituents from the fruits of Tetradium ruticarpum

Two new γ-lactone derivatives, evodinoids A (1) and B (2), along with a new essential oil (3) were isolated from the nearly ripe fruits of Tetradium ruticarpum. The structures of these isolations were determined by 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS and ECD data analysis. In addition, the cytotoxic effect of compounds 1-3 was evaluated against human cancer cells A498, A549, HepG-2, MCF-7 and SHSY-5Y, which displayed no significant cytotoxicity (IC₅₀ > 100 μM).
