3.2. Compounds Toxic to Beet Armyworms
Jiménez et al. (2009) [6] isolated Grenadamides B and C (Figure 3) from the Caribbean
cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscule. It was demonstrated that 1 mg/mL of Grenadamides B and C
exhibits 38% and 50% mortality, respectively, for the insecticidal assay against beet armyworms [6].
Grenadamide A has not assessed for toxicity towards beet armyworm, but was shown to exhibit toxicity
towards brine shrimp (discussed below).
