Analysis of the Secondary Metabolite Products of Ammi majus and Evaluation Anti-Insect Activity

Aims of our study were analysis of the secondary metabolite products of Ammi majus and evaluation insecticidal activity against Tribolium castaneum . The identification of bioactive chemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention time molecular weight and molecular formula. GC-MS analysis of Ammi majus revealed the existence of the Pregn-5-ene-3,11-dione , 17,20:20,21-bis [methylenebis(oxy)]-, Penta-2,4-dien-1-one , 5-dimethylamino-1-[5-(4-dimethylamino)] , 8-Octadecenal , 9,10-Secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-triene-3,24,25-triol , (3β,5Z,7E)- , 3,7-Diacetamido-7H-s-triazolo[5,1-c]-s-triazole , Piperidine , 2,3-dimethyl- , d-Mannose , 1-Nitro-2-acetamido-1,2-dideoxy-d-mannitol , Paromomycin , d-Glycero-d-ido-heptose , Aminoacetamide , N-methyl-N-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl]- , Pyrrolizin-1,7-dione-6-carboxylic acid , methyl(ester) , 5-Allyl-6-methyl-2-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-oxazolo[4,5-c]pyridin- , 3-O-Methyl-d-glucose , Dasycarpidan-1-methanol , acetate ( ester) and Corynan-17-ol,18,19-didehydro-10-methoxy-,acetate (ester). Methanolic extract of Ammi majus was active on accumulative mortality of Tribolium castaneum (adult).
