Abstract
The esterification of various sesquiterpenoid alcohols of Luctarius origin
with N-benzoyl-[2R,3S]-phenylisoserine (side chain of Taxol (R)) produced c
ompounds whose antifeedant properties against storage pests Tribolium confu
sum, Trogoderma granarium and Sitophylus granarius were measured. The intro
duction of the taxol side chain in these molecules, in comparison to origin
al compounds, moderately enhanced their antifeedant activities, as well as
changed their selectivity of activity towards the test insects. (C) 2001 El
