Limonoids from andiroba oil and Cedrela fissilis and their insecticidal activity [PDF]

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2006
Nine limonoids were isolated from Carapa guianensis and Cedrela fissilis. Among them, 1,2-dihydro-3beta-hydroxy-7-deacetoxy-7-oxogedunin is a new compound. Moreover, the assignments of some chemical shifts of xyloccensin k have been corrected and ¹H NMR data of 7-deacetylgedunin have been assigned for the first time.

Biodiversity and patents: Overview of plants and fungi covered by patents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 2, Issue 5, Page 546-556, September 2020., 2020
Patents can be used as a measure of innovation and to illustrate the commercial potential of plant and fungal biodiversity. The proportion of plant species named in patents represents only 6.2% of plant species, whereas the proportion of fungi is likely less than 0.4%. Fungi clearly justify further research.
