Benzopyrans and furoquinoline alkaloids from Melicope pteleifolia

Research highlights
► The taxonomic classification of Melicope pteleifolia has been a matter of debate for many years.
► Our study on M. pteleifolia led to the isolation of seven benzopyrans and three furoquinoline alkaloids.
► The components found in our study were similar to those in genus Melicope but different from Evodia.
► Our results support the move of the title species from Evodia to Melicope.
