Abstract

Arjunolic acid (a pentacyclictrihydroxytriterpenic acid) isolated from the stem of Cornus capitata (Cornaceae) exhibited significant inhibitory activity towards 4th instar larvae of Spilarctia obliqua. A dose dependent relationship of both activities was observed. The effective concentration (EC50) to reduce feeding and growth of the larvae of S. obliqua was found to be 617.8 and 666.9 ppm, respectively.
