Introduction

Currently, insecticidalcompoundsbecomevery important substancesin agricultural field,
sincethey a1eneededfor controlling insectpests.The hamful effect of synth;tic insecticides
on the environmenthas stimulatedresearcheson finding new natural insecticidalcompounds
that more envirorDlentalfriendly.
One of potential source of natural insecticidal compound is Bafiingtonie asiatica. The
seedsofthis plant have beenusedto stupefy fish and octopusin maly Facific islands(Etoh,
2001). Recent finding suggestthal methanol extract from this plant also has an insecticidal
actlvi\t against Crocidolomia pavonana (Dono & Sujana, 2007).
The structureof active insecticidalcompound fiom B. asiatica has not been investisated
"d""o
yet. Mode of action of this compound is also not understood.In order to
n"t u
understandingon the mode of action of the insecticidal compor:nd,a researchin-vestigating
the structure and mode of action of the active compound need to be achieved. Dlepei
understandingin mode of action of this compound can lead to the developmenror new
insecticidecompoundthat has a high activity but environmentalfriendly.
Some indications showed that bioactive compound ftom B asiaiir.zinfluence digestive
system of C. pa|onana i\djcated by lowering the gro\,\,thrate of second instars larvae.
Inlibition of digestive enzynes could decteasethe absotption of nut tion and resulls in
loweringgroEth rate ol C. pavonana lawae. Himshima et a/. (1990) found that an insecticidal

compoundtsalilhion' could act as carboltydrases
inhibitor.The result of rhe expefjment
showedthat the active compoundcould suppressthe growth ofpa icular insect.
By the result of Dono & Sudjana(2007), we have a hypothesisthat the active insecticidal
compoundfrom B. a.rlalicaalso has a mode ofaction on the digestiveenzymeofthe larvaeC
paronana Therefote the objectivesofthis researchare to isolate and determinethe structure
of aciive insecticidal compound from B. asictticaand additionally, to determine inhibitory
activity oflhe insecticidalcompoundagainstsomc digestiveenzymes.
