Two new limonoids aphanamolides C (1) and D (2), together with two known limonoids aphanamolide A (3) and aphapolynin A (4), were isolated from the fruits of Aphanamixis grandifolia. Their structures were assigned on the basis of spectroscopic data, with the absolute configurations of 1 and 2 being established by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopic analyses. Those limonoids varied in the ring A: aphanamolide C featured two oxygenated bridges, and aphanamolide D was the second example containing beta-hydroxy-alpha,beta:gamma,delta-dienoate moiety. The cytotoxic activities were also evaluated in vitro against four human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, A549, SMMC-7721, and HL-60). (C) 2013 Phytochemical Society of Europe. Published by Elsevier B.V.
