“…Kadota et al published the first example of limonoids having antagonistic effects on PAF, finding the following rank order of inhibition at 100 μg/mL: swietemahonin A ( 79 ), 97.4%; swietemahonin E ( 83 ), 91.7%; 3- O -acetylswietenolide ( 24 ), 91.6%; swietenolide ( 23 ), 35.2% [ 52 ]. In other examples, swietemahonins A, D, E, G ( 79 , 81 – 82 , 85 ), 3- O -acetylswietenolide ( 24 ) and 6- O -acetylswietenolide ( 25 ), strongly inhibited PAF-induced aggregation of rabbit platelets in vitro, giving IC 50 values of 40.2, 40.3, 51.2, 42.6, 52.9, 80.4 and 55.6 μg/mL.…”
