Arjunetin, an insect feeding-deterrent and growth inhibitor, shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Crude ethanolic extract of the stem bark of Terminalia arjuna (Combretaceae) and its three compounds namely arjunic acid, arjungenin and Arjunetin were evaluated for antifeedant, growth inhibitory and oviposition-deterrent activities against a lepidopterous insect Spilarctia obliqua. The compound Arjunetin showed highest growth inhibitory and feeding-deterrent properties with a growth inhibition (GI(50)) and feeding-inhibition (FD(50)) of 188.5 and 287.1 micro g/g diet respectively[1]
