The objectives of this study were analysis of the secondary metabolite products of Ricinus communis and evaluation anti-insect activity against Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Brauchidae). GC-MS analysis of Ricinus communis revealed the existence of the Pregn-5-ene-3,11-dione, 17,20,21-bis[methylene bis(oxy)]-, 9,10-Secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-triene-3,24,25-triol, (3?,5Z,7E)-, 8-Octadecenal, Pyrrolizin-1,7-dione-6-carboxylic acid, methyl(ester), Tertbutyloxyformamide, N-methyl-N-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl, 1,2,4-Triazino[5,6-E][1,2,4]-triazine-3,6-dione, hexahydro-, Deoxyspergualin, ?-D-Glucopyranoside, O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-(1.fwdarw.3)-?-, Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-,ethyl ester, Aminoacetamide, N-methyl-N-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl]-, Pregna-3,5-dien-9-ol-20-one, 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol, Ascaridole epoxide, Trans-3,4,5-Trimethoxy-?-nitrostyrene, 3-(N,N-Dimethyllaurylammonio)propanesulfonate, Tetraacetyl-d-xylonic nitrile, Pentaerythritol, bis-O-(9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]non-9-yl)-di-O-methyl, 5H-Cyclopropa[3,4]benz[1,2-e]azulen-5-one,9,9a-bis(acetyloxy), 1H-Purin-2-amine, 6-methoxy-N-methyl-, 1,2-Cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-dim, Glycyl-D-asparagine, 1-Tetradecanamine, N,N-dimethyl-, Gibberellic acid, 2,7-Diphenyl-1,6-dioxopyridazino[4,5:2 ,3 ]pyrrolo[4 ,5 -d]pyrida, Propiolic acid, 3-(1-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl)-, l-(+)-Ascorbic acid2,6-dihexadecanoate and Phytol. Methanolic seeds extract of Ricinus communis was highly active on accumulative mortality of Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Brauchidae) (adult). © 2016, International Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemical Research.
