Capsicodendrin (CPCD, 1), an epimeric mixture of a dimeric drimane-type sesquiterpene, is one of the major compounds present in the three endemic species of Madagascan traditional chemopreventive plants: Cinnamosma species (C. fragrans, C. macrocarpa, and C. madagascariensis). Despite the popular use of Cinnamosma in Madagascan traditional medicine and the reported antiproliferative properties of CPCD, elucidation of its mechanism(s) of action is still to be accomplished. In the present study, CPCD at low micromolar concentrations was cytotoxic and induced apoptosis in human myeloid leukemia cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The activity of CPCD in HL-60 and K562 cells was modulated by glutathione (GSH), since depletion of this intracellular thiol-based antioxidant with buthionine sulfoximine resulted in significantly (p < 0.05) greater potency in antiproliferation assays. GSH depletion also significantly potentiated the cytotoxic activity in CPCD-treated human HL-60 cells. Single-cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assays revealed that GSH depletion in HL-60 cells enhanced the formation of DNA strand breaks in the presence of CPCD. Although CPCD does not contain an obvious Michael acceptor in its structure, H-1 NMR analyses indicated that cinnamodial (2), a monomer of CPCD, was formed within a few hours when dissolved in DMSO- d(6) and interacts with GSH to form a covalent bond via Michael addition at the C-7 carbon. Together the results strongly suggest that 2 is responsible for the DNA-damaging, pro-apoptotic, and cytotoxic effects of CPCD and that depletion of GSH enhances overall activity by diminishing covalent interaction between GSH and this 2-alkenal decomposition product of CPCD.

Applicant's invention relates to a new class of ‘green’ insecticides for controlling agricultural, medical and veterinary pests. Applicants have identified and optimized natural compounds derived from Madagascan plants that exhibit insecticidal activity on important insect vectors (e.g., mosquitoes) and agricultural pests (e.g., soybean aphids). Plants of the genera Canellaceae, more specifically
Cinnamosma
, are shown herein to possess sesquiterpene compounds useful for compositions herein. The invention includes novel pesticide compositions, optimized components and methods of use.
