Abstract
In an attempt to characterize additional structural classes that could serve as prototypes for insecticides, 26 structurally diverse marine compounds were examined for insecticidal activity in a diet overlay as say against newly hatched larvae of the southern corn rootworm, Diabro tica undecimpunctata howardi, and the tobacco budworm, Heliothis vires cens. Several new classes of compounds have been identified as having potential as lead compounds for the development of new marine-derived insecticides.
