“…The rate of infestation after 12 days of treatment with 500 ppm of S. macrophylla bark and leaf extract decreased to 1.08% and 2.41%, respectively. These extracts, which proved to be safe to the environment and harmless to the bees, are promising as safe natural products for the control of Varroa mites [76].…”

Swietenia macrophylla King (Meliaceae) is an endangered and medicinally important plant indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of the World. S. macrophylla has been widely used in folk medicine to treat various diseases. The review reveals that limonoids and its derivatives are the major constituents of S. macrophylla. There are several data in the literature indicating a great variety of pharmacological activities of S. macrophylla, which exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant effects, antimutagenic, anticancer, antitumor and antidiabetic activities. Various other activities like anti-nociceptive, hypolipidemic, antidiarrhoeal, anti-infective, antiviral, antimalarial, acaricidal, antifeedant and heavy metal phytoremediation activity have also been reported. In view of the immense medicinal importance of S. macrophylla, this review aimed at compiling all currently available information on its ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activities of S. macrophylla, showing its importance.

“…In addition, Swietenia aubrevilleana , a hybrid of S. mahagoni and S. macrophylla , has been increasingly studied [ 1 ]. Prior reports have validated some of the traditional uses or found promising bioactivities in the laboratory, such as antidiabetic [ 2 , 3 , 4 ], antimicrobial [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], antioxidant [ 8 , 9 ], anti-inflammatory [ 10 ], antitumor [ 11 , 12 ], and acaricidal properties [ 13 ]. Previous phytochemical studies revealed that various types of limonoids have been isolated from Swietenia species, along with smaller amounts of steroids, coumarins, phytosterols [ 14 ], lignans [ 15 ], polyphenols [ 16 ], and essential oils [ 17 ] also found.…”

Chemical Structures and Biological Activities of Limonoids from the Genus Swietenia (Meliaceae)

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Swietenia is a genus in the plant family Meliaceae. This genus contains seven to eight known species, found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and West Africa. Thus far, more than 160 limonoids have been isolated from four species of the genus Swietenia. Limonoids are rich in structure type and biological activity, and these compounds are the main active components in the Swietenia species. This paper will give a comprehensive overview of the recent phytochemical and pharmacological research on the terpenes from Swietenia plants and encourage further drug discovery research.

Acute oral toxicity studies of Swietenia macrophylla seeds in Sprague Dawley rats

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background:Swietenia macrophylla King. (Meliaceae) seeds (SMS); commonly known as sky fruit and locally known in Malaysia as Tunjuk Langit; have been used in traditional Malay medicine for the treatment of diabetes and hypertension. The people eat only a tiny amount of raw seed, weighing not more than 5 mg.Aim:To evaluate the safety of Swietenia macrophylla seeds (SMS) at a single-dose oral administration of 2 g/kg body weight (bw) in sprague dawley (SD) rats.Materials and Methods:Eight-week old male and female SD rats were administered a single-oral dose of 2g/kg bw. The rats’ general behavior, and toxic signs were observed throughout the 14-day study period. The food and water intake by rats and their body weight were monitored during the study period. At the end of the study period, the relative weights of the organs (lung, liver, spleen, heart, kidney, testis, stomach); the hematological and biochemical parameters were measured; the architecture and histology of the organs (liver, kidney and lungs) were observed.Results:Oral administration of SMS to rats did not affect, either food or water intake; relative organ weight of vital organs; the hematological and biochemical parameters; did not show significant changes in the architecture and histology of vital organs. Overall, there were neither signs of toxicity nor deaths recorded during the study period.Conclusion:The rat dose of 2 g/kg bw is equivalent to the human dose of 325 mg/kg bw, which is well below the usual amount consumed by people, did not show any signs of toxicity in rats.
