Upon screening for novel and potential biocompounds with larvicidal activities, we successfully isolated hamisonine (HMSN) a limonoid compound from endophytic fungi Penicillium oxalicum LA-1 of Limonia acidissima. The extracted compound structure was elucidated by spectral studies such as UV-vis spectroscopy, thin-layer chromatography, FTIR, LC-ESI-MS, H NMR, and C NMR upon comparing with the spectral data available in the literature. Further, the isolated HMSN was tested against III and IV instar Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. The outcome of this study clearly emphasize that the extracted compound HMSN possesses a stupendous larvicidal activity in a dose-dependent manner with the LC and LC values of 1.779 and 7.685 ppm against III instar larvae and 3.031 and 28.498 ppm against IV instar larvae of C. quinquefasciatus, respectively. Interestingly, the histological studies evidently showing the damage of peritrophic membrane and epithelial cells of testing mosquito larvae.

Background: Leishmaniasis is a group of neglected vector-borne diseases transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies. Leishmania parasites must overcome various defenses in the sand fly midgut, including the insects's immune response. Insect immunity is regulated by the ecdysone hormone, which binds to its nuclear receptor (EcR) and activates the transcription of genes involved in insect immunity.

To explore the feasibility of pure yeast fermentation in whole Calamondin puree (FWCP) for the utilization of the whole fruit, yeasts were isolated from naturally fermented Calamondin, and their fermentation characteristics were evaluated. The results indicated that all yeasts were able to ferment FWCP, reducing the sour taste by degrading citric acid, increasing the contents of nutrients (such as phenols and limonins) and volatile compounds, and enhancing the antioxidant activity and inhibition of α-glucosidase activity ( < 0.05).

Ten new limonoids, named xylomolones E-N (1-10), and two new protolimonoids, named xylomolones O (11) and P (12), were isolated from seeds of the Thai mangrove Xylocarpus moluccensis, together with the known compound, hispidone acetonide (13). The structures of these compounds were established by extensive NMR spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and comparison of experimental ECD spectra. The absolute configurations of xylomolones E (1) and L (8) were unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, conducted with Cu Kα radiation.
