Abstract: Twelve new derivatives of bisamides [piriferinol (5), edulimide (7)], lignans [lariciresinol acetat (10)], triterpenes [4-bis-norcycloartane-type triterpenes (11a, 12a+b, 13a+b)], cyclopenta[b]benzofurans [pannellin (15), pannellin 1-O-acetate (16), 3'-methoxypannellin (17)], and an aromatic butyrolactone [aglalactone (18)] were isolated and identified from lipophilic leaf, stem, and root extracts of Aglaia spp. elaeagnoidea, edulis, grandis, silvestris, and tomentosa. Two cyclopenta[b]benzofurans (flavaglines), pannellin (15) and pannellin 1-O-acetate (16), displayed very strong insecticidal activity against Spodoptera littoralis and Lymantria dispar, comparable with the activity of azadirachtin.
