title: Isolation and structure determination of new nematicidal triglyceride fromArgemone mexicana.
abstract: The petroleum ether extract ofArgemone mexicana seeds was found to possess nematicidal activity against the plant parasitic nematodeMeloidogyne incognita. The active nematicidal compound has been isolated from the crude extract by column Chromatographic techniques and purified by TLC. Chemical structure has been determined by chemical and spectro-scopic methods to be that of a triglyceride, sn-glycerol-1-eicosa-9, 12-dien-oate-2-palmitoleate-3-linoleate.
