Larvicidal activity and structure activity relationship of cinnamoyl amides from Zanthoxylum armatum and their synthetic analogues against diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella

Pharmacological activities of Zanthoxylum L. plants and its exploitation and utilization

“…Amide compounds have demonstrated significant insecticidal activity against various pests, including Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera exigua, Spodoptera litura, and more. KUMAR et al [ 130 ] reported that N-(3′-bromo-4′-methoxyphenethyl) cinnamamide in Z. armatum exhibited potent insecticidal activity against P. xylostella larvae. Moreover, Jullian et al [ 131 ] extracted seven alkaloids, including nitidine, from the traditional French plant Z. rhoifolium , which have shown anti-malarial effects.…”
