| description | Chromatographic separation of a methanolic extract of <i>Clerodendrum myricoides</i> led to the isolation of myricoidine (<b>1</b>) whose structure was elucidated using IR, NMR and melting point. The crude fractions as well as <b>1</b> were subjected to larvicidal tests using the second instar larvae of <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> (malaria vector) at concentrations of 100, 75, 50, and 25 ppm. The crude extract and the compound were found to be active with LC<sub>50</sub> values of 14 and 9 ppm, respectively. |
