 ABSTRACT

Two new compounds were isolated from the chloroform extract fraction of stems of Solenostemma argel, purified by column chromatography and elucidated by phytochemical and spectroscopic methods as Stigmasterol and β-sitosterol glucoside. Chloroform had the highest insecticide activity against the growth of the third larval instar of Tribolium castaneum used as a test insect, when it was compared with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water extracts. 

Keywords: Solenotemma argel stems; Tribolium castaneum larvae; Stigmasterol; β-Sitosterol glucosides.
