Antifeedants against Acusta despesta from the Japanese cedar, Cryptomeria japonica II.
Cryptomeria japonica against Acusta despesta. This hexane soluble-fraction was used to isolate and identify two sesquiterpenols, (-)-cubebol and (+)-2,7(14),10-bisabolatrien-1-ol-4-one, as the active compounds. Both compounds strongly inhibited the feeding behavior of A. despesta at 120 microg/cm2 and 80 microg/cm2 concentrations, respectively.
