Abstract

Bio-assay guided fractionation of an acetone extract of leaf material from Plectranthus saccatus Benth. resulted in the isolation of a beyerane diterpenoid. This compound, characterised by spectroscopic methods as ent-3beta-(3-methyl-2-butenoyl)oxy-15-beyeren-19-oic acid, showed insect antifeedant activity against Spodoptera littoralis. Known quinonoid abietane diterpenoids obtained from new sources included a mixture of the (4R,19R) and (4R,19S) diastereoisomers of coleon A from P. aff. puberulentus J.K. Morton, coleon A lactone from P. puberulentus J.K. Morton, and coleon U and coleon U quinone from P. forsteri 'Marginatus' Benth. These compounds, and the crude acetone extracts from the leaf surfaces of 11 species of Plectranthus, were tested for antifeedant activity against S. littoralis, antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas syringae and antifungal activity against Cladosporium herbarum. The coleon A mixture showed potent antifeedant activity against S. littoralis, whereas coleon U showed the greatest antimicrobial activity.
