4.1. Overview of isolated compounds derived from Aglaia species

Based on the literature collected from 1965 to 2020, a total of 291 compounds isolated from leaves, stembark, bark, stem pieces, roots and twigs of Aglaia species originate from sesquiterpenoid, diterpenoid, triterpenoid, limonoid, steroid, lignan, alkaloid and flavagline groups. Previous reports ( Fig. 1 .) suggest flavaglines as the largest metabolites, with a total of 98 compounds (34%), followed by the triterpenoids (33%), steroids (10%), alkaloids (8%), sesquiterpenoids (8%), lignans (4%), diterpenoids (2%) and limonoid (1%).
