The present application relates to the field of
natural medicine, and more particularly to a
limonoid compound derived from the small
alligator pear and a preparation method thereof, the
limonoid compound having one of the structures of Munropin G, Munropin H, Munropin I, Munropin J, Munropin K and Munropin L. The
limonoid compound extracted from the small
alligator pear shows specific inhibition effect on colon
cancer cells, and is obviously superior to the inhibition effect on other types of
tumor cells, so that the limonoid compound extracted from the small
alligator pear is expected to be developed into a new
drug for treating colon
cancer.
