Chemical components demonstrating antiinsectan properties were isolated and identified from crude resins of fourDipterocarpus species. The most active compounds against Southeast Asian termites (Neotermes spp.) proved to be alloaromadendrene, humulene, and caryophyllene. These results suggest that these sesquiterpenes, which occur in many dipterocarps, play an important role in defense against insects.
从四种龙脑香科树脂中分离并鉴定出具有抗昆虫特性的化学成分。对东南亚白蚁(Neotermes spp.)最有效的化合物是异胡薄荷烯、葎草烯和石竹烯。这些结果表明,这些存在于许多龙脑香科植物中的倍半萜烯在防御昆虫方面发挥着重要作用。
