TLDR
Astilbin was isolated in high yield from Dimorphandra mollis, and its insecticidal and growth inhibiting activity by stomach ingestion were evaluated against Anticarsia gemmatalis and Spodoptera frugiperda as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
Astilbin was isolated in high yield from Dimorphandra mollis, and its insecticidal and growth inhibiting activity by stomach ingestion were evaluated against Anticarsia gemmatalis and Spodoptera frugiperda. The insecticidal activity of astilbin, the weight reduction of the larval phase and the prolongation of the larval and pupal phases were verified for both species. Astilbin was identified on the base of its NMR, MS and physical data.

Phenolics in ecological interactions: The importance of oxidation.

TL;DR: It is argued that physicochemical conditions of the environment that control phenolic oxidation generate variation in ecological activity and that experiments must be designed with conditions appropriate to the biochemical mode of phenolic action.

Toxicity of tomato phenolic compounds to the fruitworm, heliothis zea

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that chlorogenic acid and rutin, major phenolic constituents of tomato foliage, as well as a phenolic-rich aqueous extract of tomato leaves, inhibit early larval growth of Heliothis zea, when added to an artificial diet for this insect.

Growth inhibitory effects on fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda of some limonoids isolated from Cedrela spp. (Meliaceae).

TL;DR: All the tested compounds except cedrelanolide showed comparable activity to that of toosendanin, and all the compounds tested inhibited larval growth, compared to the control, in a concentration-dependent manner.
