RESULTS
Thymol was structurally modified into ten thymyl esters by esterification using a new reagent, PPh3 /Br3 CSO2 Ph. The insecticidal activity of these compounds was examined against the second instars of Spodoptera litura using a topical application. Among the ten thymyl esters evaluated, thymyl cinnamate was the most toxic with LD50 = 0.41 and 0.34 μg/larva after 24 and 48 h posttreatment, respectively. In addition, thymyl cinnamate-treated larvae showed increasing carboxylesterase and acetylcholinesterase activities in vivo experiment, whereas glutathione S-transferase activity showed no significant difference.
