Abstract

Extracts of the twigs and stems of the mangrove plant Aegiceras corniculatum demonstrated toxicity to fish (Tilapia nilotica). 5-O-Methylembelin was isolated and was shown to be toxic to fish at a concentration of 1 ppm within a period of 75 min. The structure of 5-O-methylembelin was determined by a study of spectroscopic properties and comparison with an authentic synthetic sample.
