Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
, 1987 The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 696-707, July 2025.We studied the response of Battus polydamas (Papilionidae) larvae fed on Aristolochia ringens (containing several diterpenes) and Aristolochia gigantea (containing sesquiterpenes and acyclic monoterpenoids but no diterpenoids or aristolochic acids). We assessed larval performance on fitness components such as survival and differential gene expression ...

12β,14-Dihydroxy-3-oxo-5β,20(22)-cardenolide monohydrate
Acta Crystallographica Section E, 2010 The title compound, digoxigenone, C23H30O5·H2O, was biotransformed from digoxigenin. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds contribute to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.

Cardiac Glycosides in Human Physiology and Disease: Update for Entomologists
Insects, 2019 Cardiac glycosides, cardenolides and bufadienolides, are elaborated by several plant or animal species to prevent grazing or predation. Entomologists have characterized several insect species that have evolved the ability to sequester these glycosides in

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2006 Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are the leading cause of cancer deaths in most developed countries. Targeting heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) expression and function, together with the induction of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), could ...
