In an attempt to characterize additional structural classes that could serve as prototypes for insecticides, 26 structurally diverse marine compounds were examined for insecticidal activity in a diet overlay assay against newly hatched larvae of the southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi, and the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens . Several new classes of compounds have been identified as having potential as lead compounds for the development of new marine-derived insecticides.
