Toona differs from other genera of the Swietenioideae, notably by the absence of limonoids of the mexicanolide group. Our earlier phytochemical studies on T. ciliata, showed the presence of limonoids with intact carbon skeleton, B-seco-limonoids with rings A, C and D intact and five new pregnanes. The latter group of compounds has so far been recorded in four genera of the Melioideae. Thus, the difference in meliacin composition and the finding of pregnanes do not seem to favour the affiliation of Toona to the Swietenioideae: From the stem of Cedrela odorata grafted on T. ciliata var. australis were isolated sesquiterpenes, cycloartanes, stigmasterol, campesterol, sitostenona, limonoids, apotirucallane, tirucallanes and catechin. The limonoids were of little value to clarify the basis of the induced resistance in the graft against Hypsipyla grandella. The cycloartanes and catechin could have been translocated from Toona stock to the Cedrela graft.
