ChemInform Abstract: New Macrolactones from the Defensive Salivary Secretion of Soldiers of the African Termite Pseudacanthotermes spiniger.

2010

The salivary defensive secretion of large soldier termites of the species Pseudacanthotermes spiniger contains two novel macrocyclic lactones [22-keto-hexacosanolide (2) and 2-hydroxy-24-keto-octacosanolide (3)] together with the already known macrolactone hexacosanolide (1). In addition, the secretion contains important amounts of a polysaccharide based mainly upon β-glucopyranose, β-glucosamine and N-acetyl-β-glucosamine in equal amount.
