Metabolism of Epoxidised Withanolides by a Generalist and a Specialist Insect Species. [PDF]

ChemistryOpen
Larvae of Heliothis (Chloridea) virescence and subflexa have the ability to convert the epoxidized terpenoid 4β‐hydroxywithanolide E (4BHWE) to withanolide S. The conversion is found by feeding the larvae an artificial diet supplemented with 13C‐labeled 4BHWE.
