Abstract: | (Z)-9-Hexadecenal (I), 13-(1-methylpropyl)tridecanolide (II), and (Z)-10-nonadecene-2-one (IV) have been characterized from a lipid fraction of the total extract ofI. humilis. Glycerides of normal fatty acids constitute the bulk of the lipid fraction. Compound I, a general aggregation factor ofI. humilis, is a constituent of the ventral gland secretion. Actinidine has been characterized from the pyrazine-containing fraction of the total extract. |
