Plant-defensive sesquiterpenoids from Senecio species with biopesticide potential
Abstract Senecio species have been used in folk medicine for treatment of wounds, as antiemetic, antiinflammatory and their crude extract or dry powder as crop protection agents. The toxicity exhibited to livestock by these plants has been attributed to their content in pyrrolizidine alkaloids and furanoeremophilane type sesquiterpenes. Sesquiterpenoids with eremophilane, cacalol, bisabolane, silphinene, caryophillane, humulane, germacrane and benzofurane skeletons have been isolated from this genus. Here we focus on bioactive sesquiterpenoids with plant defensive properties isolated from Senecio.
