Abstract

Tetrahydrofuranoid acetogenins characteristic of the Annonaceae plant family have been found to have potent pesticidal and feeding deterrent activity against a diverse variety of pests such as mosquito larvae, spider mites, aphids, the Mexican bean beetle, striped cucumber beetle, blowfly larvae, and nematodes. A new acetogenin called "asimicin" having the following structural formula has been isolated and is typical of the subject class of useful compounds: ##STR1##
