“…Clerodane diterpenoids show a broad spectrum of biological properties [ 35 , 36 ] including insecticidal activity [ 37 ]. Table 2 shows the clerodane diterpenoids isolated from the genus Aristolochia ( 27 to 55 in Figure 4 and Figure 5 ) and their respective plant sources.…”

The genus Aristolochia, an important source of physiologically active compounds that belong to different chemical classes, is the subject of research in numerous pharmacological and chemical studies. This genus contains a large number of terpenoid compounds, particularly diterpenes. This work presents a compilation of the 13C-NMR data of 57 diterpenoids described between 1981 and 2007 which were isolated from Aristolochia species. The compounds are arranged skeletonwise in each section, according to their structures, i.e., clerodane, labdane, and kaurane derivatives. A brief discussion on the 13C chemical shifts of these diterpenes is also included.

“…Other uses of D. microcarpum gum include improving the moisture retention of bread, reducing crumb-firming tendency (Onweluzo, Leelavathi, & Haridas Rao, 1999), and as binder in tablet manufacturing (Chukwu, 1992). D. microcarpum is also used as anti-feedant against termite (Lajide, Escoubas, & Mizutani, 1995), anti-insect fumigant (Audu, 1989), as diuretic and active ingredient in anti-inflammatory drug (Jacobson, 1975).…”

“…(euginia), Tagetes erecta (Mexican marigold), Nepeta cataria (catnip), Lepidium meyenii (maca), Calocedrus formosana (Taiwan incense‐cedar), Melaleuca cajuputi (gelam), caryophyllata (clove bud) and Allium sativum (garlic) have shown biological activities as feeding deterrents, repellants, or toxicants against termites (Zhu et al ., 2001; Tellez et al ., 2002; Peterson & Ems‐Wilson, 2003; Sakasegawa et al ., 2003; Singh et al ., 2003; Cheng et al ., 2004; Park & Shine, 2005). Antitermitic properties are also associated with crude solvent extracts from different plant tissues, including leaves, roots, stems, fruits and seeds, of a number of plants (Lajide et al ., 1995; Sharma et al ., 1999; Ganapaty et al ., 2004; Fokialakis et al ., 2006). Additionally, some plant tissues have been used directly as a mulch barrier to subterranean termites by incorporating the plant tissues into soil.…”

Chemical‐treated soil or physical barriers have been the most commonly used approach for termite management. We hypothesized that a barrier of soil incorporated with oven‐dried Lantana camara L. tissues could prevent termite infestation. We first examined the antitermitic effects of the dried tissues from two cultivars (‘Mozelle’ and ‘New Gold’) on the subterranean termite, Reticulitermes virginicus (Banks) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). Results show that all of the tissues of Mozelle had greater antitermic activity than corresponding tissues of New Gold, and leaves had greater termiticidal effects than flowers and stems. When termites were exposed to the test materials in a no‐choice bioassay, the 24‐day test resulted in a significant reduction of survival (52.5%–88.6%), running speed (18.2%–37.3%), live weight (21.8%–53.5%) and body water content (33.2%–56.2%) compared to the control. The consumption of leaves and flowers was exiguous. When used as 25% tissue mulch‐barrier, the oven‐dried lantana tissues decreased termite tunneling and wood consumption and increased termite mortality. The decreased survival, vigor, and low consumption indicate a toxic and anti‐feeding property of the materials tested. The results therefore support our hypothesis that the dried lantana tissues possess antitermitic activities.
