Responses of Spodoptera littoralis larvae to Tunisian plant extracts and to neo-clerodane diterpenoids isolated from Ajuga pseudoiva leaves.
Thirteen plants growing in Tunisia were tested against Spodoptera littoralis larvae. From the acetone extract of Ajuga pseudoiva leaves, showing interesting antifeedant activity, three new (1-3) and two known (4-5) active clerodane diterpenoids were isolated following a bioassay-guided chromatography.
