Nimonol
Nimonol (Nimocinol) is a tetranortriterpenoid limonoid present in the leaves of Azadirachta indica, and it undergoes photolysis to generate Nimonolide. Nimonol interferes with insect growth processes, exerts antifeedant and insecticidal effects, and exhibits insecticidal toxicity against the fourth-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti. Nimonol is used in research related to pest control.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Nimonol exhibits no antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus, Candida albicans, or Microsporum gypseum[2].
Nimonol undergoes photooxidation in benzene under UV light and oxygen, yielding Nimocinolide as the only detectable butenolide product[3].
When Nimonol is exposed to UV light, it produces new photoproducts, among which photoproduct 4 Nimonolide exhibits antifeedant activity against Spodoptera litura[4].
