Abstract

Three novel and 6 known petuniasterones were isolated from the leaves and stems of Petunia hybrida Vilm. (Solanaceae). In addn., chromatog. yielded four groups of novel 2,3,4,6-O-tetraacylated sucrose ester isomers. The components in each group have identical mass, whereas the groups differ from each other by 14 mass units. The sucrose esters showed molluscicidal and bactericidal activities. Concerning the petuniasterones, different molluscicidal activities were obsd., depending on the side chains.
