Abstract

The insecticide constituents of several Celastraceae family plants including Celastrus angulatus, Celastrus orbiculatus, Celastrus flagellaris, Euonymus verrucosides, Euonymus forunei and Euonymus phellomana were studied by bioassay-guided fractionation. All structures of sesquiterpene polyol esters and alkaloids have been elucidated by UV, IR, MS, NMR and x-ray diffraction evidences. These compounds exhibited insecticidal, antifeedant and narcotic activities against Mythimna separata.
