    Limonin is the first described limonoid, which are naturally occurring tetranortriterpenoids that impart bitter flavor in citrus fruits. Compounds belonging to this group have reported anti-proliferative and proapoptotic activity on several cancer cell lines as well as pesticidal, anti-malarial, anti-microbial, and anti-HIV activity.1
