Active Ingredients of Seed Extracts of Clausena lansium and Nematocidal Activity Against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Nematocidal activity of methanol extracts from the different parts of Clausena lansium was determined by dipping method.The active ingredients were isolated and identified on the basis of active-directed fractionation with column chromatography,thin layer chromatography(TLC),recrystallization and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR).The results showed that the most effective extract against Bursaphelenchus xylosphilus was seed methanol extract,which gave 100% mortality after 72 h treatment at the mass concentration of 1 mg/mL.The active ingredients were concentrated in petroleum ether fraction and a yellow crystal was obtained and purified.It was identified as Lansiumamide B(N-methyl-N-cis-styryl-cinnamamide) on the basis of NMR data.The bioassay results revealed that LC50 values of Lansiumamide B against B.xylophilus were 8.38,6.36 and 5.38 mg/L after 24,48 and 72 h treatment,respectively.The results indicated that Lansiumamide B was effective against B.xylophilus.
