Two limonoids were isolated from the methanol extract of Khaya senegalensis (Meliaceae), and their structures were identified as 3 α ,7 α ‐dideacetylkhivorin (1) and 1‐ O ‐acetylkhayanolide B (2) on the basis of MS and NMR spectral data. Complete assignments of 1 H and 13 C chemical shifts for compounds 1 and 2 were achieved by means of 1D and 2D NMR including DEPT, 1 H‐ 1 H COSY, HMQC, HMBC experiments. Compound 1 showed significant growth inhibitory activities against MCF‐7, SiHa and Caco‐2 cells with IC 50 values in the range of 0.07–0.14 µ m (35–69 ppm) while compound 2 did not.
