The chloroform/methanol extract of the green alga C. racemosa afforded a number of metabolites, as caulerpin (1), caulerpynyne (3), phytol (4), 10-keto-3,7,11-trimethyldodecanoic acid (5), a number of unsaturated compounds in addition to caulerpinic acid (2), the alkaline hydrolysis product of caulerpin. In summary, the larvicidal activity of caulerpin and caulerpinic acid were tested against C. pipiens mosquito (filarial victor) leading to the identification of novel effective mosquitocidal compounds.  ISSN : 1863-0650  Journal Name : Clean - Soil, Air, Water  Volume : 38  Issue Number : 5  Publishing Year : 1431 AH 2010 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, November 14, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email وليد محمد العارف Alarif, Walied Mohamed Researcher Doctorate welaref@kau.edu.sa Zeinab S Abou-Elnaga Abou-Elnaga, Zeinab S Researcher Doctorate zenab_77@mans.edu.eg سيف الدين نصر عياد Ayyad, Seif-Eldin N Researcher Doctorate snayyad2@yahoo.com سلطان سمران اللهيبي Sultan, Al-lihaibi Samran Researcher Doctorate sallihaibi@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  31243.pdf pdf Abstract Back To Researches Page
