Guided by a feeding stimulant activity test on the olive weevil (Dyscerus perforatus), two compounds that showed potent feeding stimulant activity were isolated from the olive tree (Olea europaea). Based on their spectral data and a literature survey, they were identified as (−)-olivil (1) and (+)-1-acetoxypinoresinol (2). The activities of these minor lignans were significantly higher for the female than for the male weevil.
通过对橄榄象鼻虫(Dyscerus perforatus)的摄食刺激活性测试,从橄榄树(Olea europaea)中分离出两种具有强烈摄食刺激活性的化合物。根据它们的光谱数据和文献调查,确定它们为 (-)-olivil (1) 和 (+)-1-acetoxypinoresinol (2)。这些次要
木脂素对雌性象鼻虫的活性明显高于雄性象鼻虫。
