Abstract: An investigation of the seeds of Swietenia macrophylla and S. aubrevilleana (Meliaceae) is reported. Three new compounds, augustineolide (1) and 3beta,6-dihydroxydihydrocarapin (2) from S. macrophylla and 6-acetoxyhumilinolide C (3) from S. aubrevilleana were isolated and characterized along with fifteen known compounds. Four of the compounds were subjected to an antifeedant bioassay on the final instar larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda. The antifeedant activity was comparable to that of bicyclononanolides previously tested.
