anti-insect

Isoasatone A, a natural product isolated from the plant [Heterotropa takaoi M.], exhibits anti-insect activity.

Nerolidol acetate is a natural sesquiterpene with anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-insect activities. Nerolidol acetate can inhibit parasite activity and inhibit schistosomiasis, nematodes, malaria, etc. Nerolidol acetate protects cells from oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA, and has a protective effect on mouse hippocampal nerve cells.

7(Z)-Tricosene is an insect pheromone and endogenous metabolite for mating and interspecific recognition.

Juvenile hormone B 3 (Juvenile hormone III bisepoxide) (mixture of diastereomers) is a sesquiterpenoid hormone. It can be isolated from the corpora allata (CA) of higher dipteran insects such as fruit flies and Drosophila melanogaster. This hormone exhibits anti-metamorphic activity and induces the expression of Kr-h1 by directly interacting with juvenile hormone (JH) receptors (Met and Gce). Juvenile hormone B 3 (mixture of diastereomers) is applicable in insect lethality studies.

Arjunetin, a natural product isolated from Terminalia arjuna, exhibits binding affinity for SARS-CoV-2 and demonstrates potential antiviral activity.

Lactupicrin is a natural product discovered in chicory, exhibiting analgesic, sedative, antimalarial, and anti-atherosclerotic effects. It inhibits NF-κB activation and LDLR1 production, and demonstrates inhibitory activity against yeast alpha-glucosidase (IC50 = 14.71 µM).

Nimbin is an anti-pyretic, can be used to treat arthritis, hypoglycaemia, peptic ulcers, anti-secretory activity, and it can also be used as an antibiotic. Nimbin requires to elicit a 50% inhibition of this steroid hydroxylase activity in the three insect

Piperenone is an insect antifeeding substance. It has anti-platelet-activating factor(PAF) activities, is a PAF-acether antagonist.

Rubrosterone is a steroid and C19 steroid found in certain plants and insects, exhibiting anti-diabetic activity.

Vestitol is a phytoalexin with insect feeding-deterrent activity, it has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities, it can inhibit neutrophil migration at a dose of 10 mg/kg, and shows MICs ranging from 25-50 to 50-100 ug/mL and MBCs ranging from 25-50 to 50-100 ug/mL.Vestitol exerts a limited inhibitory effect on S. hermonthica germination, it can significantly inhibit seedling growth, it also contributes, at least in part, to the host's defence mechanism and acts as a chemical barrier against the intrusion of the parasite.
