Natural hydroxamic acids and related compounds derived from the 1,4-benzoxazin-3-one structure show antifeedant activity against the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi. This antifeeding activity is based on the electrophilic character ...

A bioassay-guided purification of the extracts of Nothofagus dombeyi and N. pumilio leaves yielded several triterpenes and flavonoids including 2-O-acetylmaslinic acid, 3-O-acetyl 20,24,25-trihydroxydammarane, and ...

The ethanolic extract from Flourensia oolepis aerial parts showed strong antifeedant activity against the pest larvae, Epilachna paenulata, with an antifeedant index (AI%) of 99.1% at 100 μg/cm2. Based on chromatographic ...

We establish useful models that relate experimentally measured biological activities of compounds to their molecular structure. The pED50 feeding inhibition on Spodoptera litura species exhibited by aurones, chromones, ...

Nothofagus species from Chile and New Zealand were surveyed in the field for invertebrate abundance and leaf feeding damage and in the laboratory for antifeedant activity against leafrollers (Ctenopsteustis obliquana, ...

A structure-antifeedant activity relationship (SAR) study of clerodane diterpenoids was carried out. Attention was focused on the feeding-deterrent activities exhibited toward Tenebrio molitor by clerodane diterpenoids and ...

The herbivory activity of the bordered patch larvae (Chlosyne lacinia, Lepidoptera) on leaves of a Brazilian population of Tithonia diversifolia and the antifeedant potential of its leaf rinse extract were investigated. ...

Eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids 3α-(2,3-epoxy-2-methylbutyryloxy)-4α-formoxy-11-hydroxy-6,7-dehydroeudesman-8-one (1) and 3α-(2,3-epoxy-2-methylbutyryloxy)-4α,7α,11-trihydroxyeudesman-8-one (2), together with 10 known ...

In the last decade, there has been increasing interest in investigating the impact of flavonoids on insects, specifically for pest control. In this study, we investigated the impact of isoflavonoids upon the feeding behavior ...
