dc.description.abstract | The already known benzoquinone, embelin (mixed with rapanone), and two new benzoquinones, myrsinone and myrsinaquinone, were isolated from the Myrsinaceae plant, Rapanea melanphloes (L), Mez. All the three compounds showed antifeedant activity when bioassayed on nymphs of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk). They also inhibited growth of second-instar larvae of mosquito Aedes aegypti at low doses, and had acute lethal effects at higher doses. | en |
