Quinones and non-quinones from the defensive secretion of Unciger transsilvanicus (Verhoeff, 1899) (Diplopoda, Julida, Julidae), from Serbia
A complex mixture of compounds was identified from the secretion of specimens of Unciger transsilvanicus. Phenol and p-cresol were detected for the first time in the family Julidae, and for the second time in the order Julida. Thirteen quinones were identified, with a great relative abundan...

| description | A complex mixture of compounds was identified from the secretion of specimens
of Unciger transsilvanicus. Phenol and p-cresol were detected for the first
time in the family Julidae, and for the second time in the order Julida.
Thirteen quinones were identified, with a great relative abundance of
toloquinone and 2-methoxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone. Hydroquinone was
detected for the first time in the order Julida. Besides these compounds,
isopentyl hexacosatetraenoate and isopentyl esters of saturated and
unsaturated fatty acids with chain lengths from C14 to C20were identified.
The most abundant non-quinone compound was isopentyl eicosenoate. The
relative abundance of quinone and non-quinone in the defensive fluid of U.
transsilvanicus was 77% and 23%, respectively. The phylogenetic importance of
the registered compounds is briefly discussed. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke
