Abstract EN
The phytochemical study of Virola sebifera leaves led to the isolation of three lignans: (+)-sesamin, (−)-hinokinin, and (−)-kusunokinin and three flavonoids: quercetin-3-O-α-L-rhamnoside, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucoside, and quercetin-3-methoxy-7-O-β-D-glucoside by using techniques as high-speed counter-current chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography.
The crude extracts, fractions, and isolated compounds were evaluated for their insecticidal and fungicidal potential against Atta sexdens rubropilosa and its symbiotic fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus.
The bioassay results showed a high insecticidal activity for the methanol crude extract of the leaves of V.
sebifera and its n-hexane, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions.
The fungicidal bioassay revealed high toxicity of the lignans against L.
gongylophorus.
