Abstract

The chloroform extract from the leaves of Eupatorium quadrangularae has been systematically fractionated by following biological activity in a bioassay which measures repellency to the leafcutter ant Atta cephalotes (Formicidae, Attini). Several sesquiterpene lactones were isolated, two of which showed significant ant-repellency.
