Abstract

AbstractCrude extracts and fractions from Echium wildpretii H. Pearson ex Hook. f. subsp. wildpretii (Boraginaceae) have been tested against insect species Spodoptera littoralis, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, and the aphids Myzus persicae, Diuraphis noxia, Metopolophium dirhodum, Rhopalosiphum maidis, and Rhopalosiphum padi. The EtOH extract and the lipid and steroidal fractions of E. wildpretii exhibited significant antifeedant activities against the aphids and L. decemlineata. Two bioactive mixtures composed of fatty acid esters and n‐alkanes were obtained from the lipid fraction. The bioguided fractionation of the steroidal fraction resulted in the isolation of glutinol, β‐sitosterol, (3β,7α)‐stigmast‐5‐ene‐3,7‐diol, and (3β,7α)‐7‐methoxystigmast‐5‐en‐3‐ol. The latter two compounds exhibited potent antifeedant activities against L. decemlineata indicating that the presence of an O‐bearing C(7) was responsible for the activities of these molecules.
