Cottonseed oil, a cooking oil extracted from the seeds of cotton plants, has been considered the most insecticidal of vegetable oils.

Jatrophane 4 (2R*,3R*,4S*,5R*,7S*,8S*,9S*,l3S*,14S*,15R*)-2,5,9,14-Tetraacetoxy-3-benzoyloxy-8,15-dihydroxy-7-isobutyroyloxyjatropha-6(17),11E-diene) exhibits significant antifeedant activity against a generalist plant-feeding insect, the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), with an EC50 value of 0.36 ug/cm2.

Jatrophane 3 (2R*,3R*, 4S*,5R*,7S*,8S*,9S*,l3S*,14S*,15R*)-2,5,14-triacetoxy-3-benzoyloxy-8,15-dihydroxy-7-isobutyroyloxy-9-nicotinoyloxyjatropha-6(17),11E-diene) exhibits significant antifeedant activity against a generalist plant-feeding insect, the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), with an EC50 value of 0.43 ug/cm2.

Lacinilene C, lacinilene C 7-methyl ether, scopoletin, 2-hydroxy-7-methoxycadalene and 2,7-dihydroxycadalene are 5 induced phytoalexins in cotton leaves. Lacinilene C methyl ether elicits contraction of TSM by enhancing the movement of calcium through pot

Acid red 88 is an anionic dye with potentially useful photocatalytic research applications. Acid red 88 has been used to determine the effect of Au deposition on ZnO photocatalytic activity under visible light. Additionally, the photocatalyst Au-TiO2 was

2,5,7,8,9,14-Hexaacetoxy-3-benzoyloxy-15-hydroxyjatropha-6(17),11E-diene (Jatrophane 2 ) exhibits significant antifeedant activity against a generalist plant-feeding insect, the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera). Jatrophane 2 also demonstrates the mo

1. Yunaconitine (Guayewuanine B) has anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions. 2. Yunaconitine was shown to have anti-thermic effect in pyrexial rats when administered orally at a dose of 5 μg/kg. 3. Yunaconitine shows positive effect in the granuloma inhibition test when it was subcutaneously injected, 1 μg/kg for 6 d, or added directly to the cotton-pellet. 4. Yunaconitine inhibited the increased vascular permeability caused byacetic acid and histamine, the leucocyte migratory response induced by injection of 1 % carrageenin .1 ml in rat's thoracic cavity.
