title: Responses of Spodoptera littoralis larvae to Tunisian plant extracts and to neo-clerodane diterpenoids isolated from Ajuga pseudoiva leaves.
abstract: 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.
