Mosquitocidal triterpenes from the stem of Duranta repens
Two triterpenes, β-amyrin and 12-oleanene 3β, 21β-diol, were isolated as a mixture from the chloroform soluble fraction of an ethanol extract of Duranta repens Linn (Verbenaceae) stem. The structures of the two compounds were confirmed by analysis of their IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and LC-MS spectral data...

Zusammenfassung: | Two triterpenes, β-amyrin and 12-oleanene 3β, 21β-diol, were isolated as a mixture from the chloroform soluble fraction of an ethanol extract of Duranta repens Linn (Verbenaceae) stem. The structures of the two compounds were confirmed by analysis of their IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and LC-MS spectral data. The mixture of β-amyrin and 12-oleanene 3β, 21β-diol (compound 1) was highly effective against the larvae of the mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae), as a mosquitocide. |
