A new limonoid, 3-acetoxy-7-(2′-methylpropenoyl)-vilasinin lactone (1), together with a known analogue, 3-acetoxy-7-tigloylvilasinin lactone (2), was isolated from the leaves and stems of Azadirachta indica. Their structures were elucidated based on spectral methods and by comparison with the literature.
