Abstract

Two phenylpropanoid glucosides, namely acetylmartynoside A and 4”-O-acetylmartynoside, isolated from Aegiphila obducta (Verbenaceae) were studied for insect antifeedant activity against fourth-instar larvae of Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Acetylmartynoside A showed weak antifeedant activity at all the concentrations tested while 4”-O-acetylmartynoside showed strong antifeedant activity, particularly at the higher concentrations of 400 and 500 μg/disk.

Résumé

Deux glucosides phenylpropanoidiques-acetylmartynoside A et 4”-O-acetyhnartynoside-isolés d'Aegiphila obducta (Verbenaceae) ont été étudiés pour leur activité phagodeterrente sur les larves du quatrième stade de Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Acetylmartynoside A a montré un faible activité phagodéterrente à toutes les concentrations testées tandis que 4”-O-acetylmartynoside a montré une forte activité phagodeterrente, particulièrement aux plus hautes concéntrations de 400 et 500 μg/disque.
