  • Patent number: 5106865
    Abstract: Indole diterpene compounds named "radarin" have been isolated from the sclerotia of the fungus Aspergillus sulphureus. The radarins are effective for controlling Lepidopteran insects, and have the structures: ##STR1## wherein the compound formed when R is a hydroxyl group is designated radarin A and the compound formed when R is a hydrogen atom is designated radarin C; and ##STR2## wherein the compound formed when R is a hydrogen atom is designated radarin D and the compound formed when R is a hydroxyl group is designated radarin B.
