Insect antifeedants from azadirachta indica (part 5): Chemical modification and structure-activity relationships of azadirachtin and some related limonoids

Abstract

Chemical modification of the potent insect antifeedant and growth-disruption agent azadirachtin (1) and the related limonoids 3-tigloyl azadirachtol (6) and salannin (27) have permitted an exploration of the biological activity of these compounds. General comments are made regarding the structural dependency of the antifeedant effect. © 1989.
