Isolement, Identification Et Activite Antifongique De Deux Sesquiterpenes D’asteriscus Graveolens Subsp. Odorus (Schousb.) Greuter

Two sesquiterpenes of Asteriscus graveolens subsp. odorus, have been extracted, separated, purified and identified by NMR and IR: the naupliolide and asteriscunolide 3c. The valuation of these compounds is part of the search for a preventive approach of integrated control to reduce significantly the use of pesticides and especially the fungicide ones. The results revealed a strong inhibitory effect on naupliolide against Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium expansum dice concentration of 200 ppm. The asteriscunolide 3c showed a remarkable effect against Botrytis cinerea from the concentration of 150 ppm.
