Minor diterpenes from Persea indica: their antifeedant activity

Phytochemistry. 2001 Feb;56(4):315-20. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(00)00376-9.

Abstract

The new diterpenes anhydrocinnzeylanone, garajonone and 2,3-didehydrocinnzeylanone, and the known anhydrocinnzeylanine, have been isolated from Persea indica. The antifeedant activity of these compounds has been evaluated showing the importance of the 11-hemiketal group for the antifeedant effects of ryanodane diterpenes.
