Abstract
The evolving pathogen resistance in agricultural pests requires the development of novel chemical agents to maintain efficient pest control. Biological screening of natural products isolated from Leucosceptrum canum Smith led to the discovery of active antifeedant sesterterpenoids. This article highlights recent progress towards the synthesis of these natural products.
