Organic extracts from mycelium and culture broth of 21 Penicillium isolates have been tested for insecticidal, insect anti-juvenile hormone (anti-JH), and antifungal activities. Culture broth extracts were the most active, mainly against insects; nearly 25% of them have shown high entomotoxicity (100% mortality at 100 microg/cm(2)). A strong in vivo anti-JH activity against Oncopeltus fasciatus Dallas was detected in the culture broth extracts from P. brevicompactum P79 and P88 isolates. The two new natural products isolated from P79, N-(2-methyl-3-oxodec-8-enoyl)-2-pyrroline (1) and 2-hept-5-enyl-3-methyl-4-oxo-6,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-4H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]-1, 3-oxazine (2), possessed anti-JH and insecticidal activity, respectively, against O. fasciatus. Synthesized natural compound 1 has shown an ED(50) of 0.7 microg/nymph when assayed on newly molted fourth-instar nymphs of O. fasciatus. Promising biological activities have also been detected in the synthetic precursors.
