Antifeedant activity of metabolites from Viguiera tucumanensis

Nat Prod Lett. 2002 Oct;16(5):323-7. doi: 10.1080/10575630290030711.

Abstract

Several terpenoids and clerod-14-ene-3alpha, 4beta,13xi-triol (1), the main compound of V. tucumanensis, were isolated and bioassayed. The clerodane 1 showed higher antifeedant activity than other related compounds. Structure-activity relationships are also discussed.
