Extremely potent antifeedant neo-clerodane derivatives of scutecyprol A

J Agric Food Chem. 2004 Dec 29;52(26):7867-71. doi: 10.1021/jf048532c.

Abstract

Two known neo-clerodane diterpenoids, scutecyprol A (1) and scutalbin C (2), have been isolated from the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Scutellaria sieberi. The antifeedant activity of scutecyprol A (1), of its 15-oxo derivative (3), and of several halohydrins (4-9), synthesized starting from compounds 1 and 3, against Spodoptera littoralis have been determined and structure-antifeedant relationships are discussed.
