| Abstract | The botanicals (plant extracts) of neem (Azadirachta indica) have enormous potential to influence modern agrochemical research. Neem is a well-studied plant in the Meliaceae family for its limonoid content; other plants have not been explored in detail. It is imperative to know the specific compounds that are responsible for the insecticidal activity of neem, and their absolute concentration in extracts. We have developed an ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/selected reaction monitoring (UHPLC-MS/SRM) assay and validated the same for five neem metabolites. Using this validated method, azadirachtin A (Aza A), nimbin, salanin, azadiradione (azadi) and epoxy or hydroxy-azadiradione (E/H-azadi) were quantified from neem extracts (leaf, bark and seed) and also from leaf extracts of twelve Meliaceae plants. The E/H-azadi used in the assay was purified from neem leaf extract using a UHPLC based method that we have developed, and the amount was estimated based on the azadi concentration. All analytes showed a linear relationship with regression coefficients higher than 0.993, high accuracy (99–111%) and low coefficients of variation (CVs). The limit of quantification (LOQ) for Aza A (156 pg), nimbin (12.5 pg), salanin, azadi and E/H-azadi (62.5 pg) on column was determined. Using this novel methodology, five neem metabolites were quantified with high sensitivity and specificity. E/H-azadi is one of the most abundant metabolites in neem (10% of the leaf extract) and is also found in higher quantities in the leaf extracts of other twelve plant species in the Meliaceae family. This method has excellent applications for quantifying these five neem metabolites with great precision. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
