Abstract

Asimicin, a new trihydroxy-bistetrahydrofuran fatty acid γ-lactone has been isolated, using brine shrimp lethality for activity-directed fractionation, from extracts of the bark and the seeds of the pawpaw tree, Asimina triloba Dunal. (Annonaceae). This compound is extremely cytotoxic and shows promising pesticidal activities.
