Effects of p-vinylphenyl glycosides and other related compounds on the oviposition behavior of Ceratitis capitata.
Elaphoside-A [p-vinylphenyl (beta-D: -glucopyranosyl)-(1-->3)-beta-D: -allopyranoside], a Mediterranean fruit fly oviposition deterrent, was previously isolated from an Argentine collection of the fern Elaphoglossum piloselloides. In order to establish the structural requirements for the observed oviposition inhibition, we synthesized and characterized 4 known and 21 new aromatic glycosides structurally related to elaphoside-A. Their effects on the oviposition behavior of Ceratitis capitata females are discussed.
