| Description | Tectoquinone exhibits strong mosquito larvicidal activity. |
| In vitro | 红心木型Cryptomeria japonica D. Don各植物部分的甲醇提取物对埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊四龄幼虫的杀幼虫活性进行了研究。结果显示，C. japonica边材甲醇提取物的n-己烷分馏部分对A. aegypti和A. albopictus幼虫展示出优异的抑制效果，其24小时半数致死浓度（LC50）值分别为2.4和3.3 microg/ml。遵循生物活性导向的分馏程序，从C. japonica边材中分离出的活性成分经光谱分析鉴定为Tectoquinone。Tectoquinone对A. aegypti和A. albopictus的24小时LC50值分别为3.3和5.4 microg/ml。另外，对蒽醌同系物的杀蚊活性比较显示，具有C-2位置甲基的蒽醌骨架，如Tectoquinone，展现出最强的杀蚊活性。 |
