Abstract The larvicidal activity of crude petroleum ether, toluene, n-butanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol extracts of the seeds of Clausena lansium was assayed for their toxicities against the early fourth instar larvae of Aedes albopictus. The larval mortality was observed after 24-h exposure. The LC(50) value of petroleum ether extract was 22.99 ppm, showing the best larvicidal activity among all six solvent extracts. A cinnamon amide compound lansiumamide B (N-methyl-N-cis-styrylcinnamamide) was isolated from the petroleum ether extract by column chromatographic method, which exhibited a strong larvicidal activity against the early fourth instar larvae of A. albopictus with LC(50) and LC(90) values of 0.45 and 2.19 ppm, respectively. The structure was elucidated by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR spectral data. The larvicidal activity against mosquito of lansiumamide B from the seed of C. lansium was evaluated for the first time.
