Description The petroleum ether extract of Clerodendron inerme leaves
afforded a compound that matched the clerodane compound (-)-3-epicaryoptin
in physical and spectral characteristics. The test compound inhibited
the development of Musca domestica and Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. Firstand
third-instar fly larvae reared on 3-epicaryoptin-treated diet pupariated later
and earlier than their respective controls and adult emergence from puparia
was inhibited. Apart from larval mortality, exposure of fourth-instar mosquito
larvae to 3-epicaryoptin resulted in death at larval-pupal molt and pupaladult
eclosion, indicating inhibition of the molting process.
