Biological Activity and Chemical Composition of Detarium microcarpum Guill. and Perr—A Systematic Review

Table 8

Insecticidal potential of D. microcarpum.

S/N	Method	Solvents	Part of the plant	Major findings	Reference
1	Wheat wafer disc bioassay	n-Hexane, and methanol	Leaves, stem, and root barks	With an LC50 value of 47 μg/insect, methanol extract of the root bark had the strongest antifeedant index and contact toxicity effect on T. casteneum, hbst.	[35]
2	Paper disk	Methanol	Leaves	3,13E-clerodien-15-oic acid, 4 (18), 13E-clerodien-15-oic acid, 18-oxo-3,13E-clerodien-15-oic acid, and 2-oxo-3,13E-clerodien-15-oic acid are the active chemicals. Except for the latter, this is the first report of these compounds from D. microcarpum. The four compounds had considerable antifeedant activity at 1%.	[41]
