Antifeedant Activity of Limonoids from the Seeds of Lansium domesticum Corr. Against Subterranean Termite Coptotermes curvignathus
Keywords:
Coptotermes curvignathus, Dukunolide, Lansium domesticum, Limonoid, Meliaceae
Abstract
Lansium domesticum is one of Meliaceae plants produces limonoids with various biological activities, except for anti termites. Seven limonoids, dukunolides A-D (DA-DD), F (DF), and langsatides A-B (LA and LB), each previously isolated from the seeds of L. domesticum and prepared at 5 %, together with methanol root extract (MRE) 5 % were evaluated for insecticidal activity against Coptotermes curvignathus. Fifty workers and five soldiers of C. curvignathus were tested in a No-Choice Test to determine which limonoid was the most active. Dukunolides A-D, F, langsatides A-B, and MRE showed weaker antifeedant activity than the regent 50sc (positive standart, 8.04 %), except for dukunolide B (DB) that was stronger antifeedant activity, with a 7.28 % paper weight loss and 33.3 % mortality against C. curvignathus. Conclusion, this study showed limonoid compounds that were isolated from the seeds of L. domesticum could be developed for antitermite drugs.
