我国卫矛科杀虫植物研究进展

Advance in research on insecticidal Celastraceae plants in China.

卫矛科植物由于具有独特的生物活性而受到广泛关注。作者主要综述了我国对卫矛科杀虫植物的研究进展。迄今为止,该科植物中发现的主要杀虫成分均是以二氢沉香呋喃为骨架的多元醇酯和生物碱。就杀虫活性而言,主要是对昆虫拒食作用的测定,仅对苦皮藤(Celastrus angulatus)和雷公藤(Tripterygium wilfordii)杀虫成分的毒杀、麻醉等胃毒作用的研究比较系统深入。此外,也对当前这些研究中存在的问题及前景进行了分析。

Many members of the Celastraceae plants have been evaluated on their biological activities. This paper summarized the progress of research on the insecticidal Celastraceae plants in China. So far, it is found that only polyol esters and alkaloids, with a β-dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpene skeleton from the Celastraceae plants, exhibit insecticidal activities. There are many reports focusing on antifeedant activity of the compounds against insect pests. More extensive researches were on stomach poison toxicity of insecticidal and narcotic activities of Celastrus angulatus and Tripterygium wilfordii. The current problems and prospects on this topic are also discussed.
