Wm. Daniewski et al., ANTIFEEDANT ACTIVITY OF SOME SESQUITERPENOIDS OF THE GENUS LACTARIUS (AGARICALES, RUSSULACEAE), European journal of entomology, 90(1), 1993, pp. 65-70
A test with wafer discs was used to examine the ability of 20 compound
s to inhibit feeding in adults of Sitophilus granarius and Tribolium c
onfusum as well as in the larvae of Tribolium confusum and Trogoderma
granarium. The compounds tested were sesquiterpenoids of lactarane, is
olactarane, marasmane and 13-normarasmane skeletons, either isolated f
rom species of Lactarius or their synthetically prepared derivatives.
The obtained results of the antifeedant activity are discussed.
