Abstract

Chemical compounds were extracted with petroleum ether from the cuticular abdominal glands of grasshopper (Zonocerus variegatus L.) and eleven compounds were characterised using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) technique in combination with Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The compounds analysed were 2,7-dimethyloctane (3.21%), decane (5.33%), undecane (3.81%), tridecanoic acid methyl ester (4.76%), hexadecanoic acid (9.37%), 11-octadecenoic acid methyl ester (23.18%), pentadecanoic acid, 14-methyl-methyl ester (4.43%), (Z)-13-docosenoic acid (10.71%), dodecyl pentafluoropropionate (9.52%), 2-dodecyl-1,3-propanediol (6.38%), and 1,12-tridecadiene (19.30%). FT-IR analysis of the extract showed peaks at 1270.17 (C–O and C–F), 1641.48 (C=C), 2937.68 (C–H), and 3430.51 (O–H) cm−1 indicating the presence of ether, alkene, alkane, alcohol, carboxylic acid, and fluoric compounds. These compounds consisted of 32.37% ester, 31.65% hydrocarbons, 20.08% fatty acid, 9.52% halogenated ester, and 6.38% alcohol. The highest component was 11-octadecenoic acid methyl ester followed by 1,12-tridecadiene. Since behavioural bioassays were not carried out, the consideration of these compounds to be pheromone semiochemicals remains a hypothesis.
斑蚱蜢表皮腹腺的次生代谢物
采用石油醚法从蚱蜢(Zonocerus variegatus L.)的腹部角质腺中提取化合物,采用气相色谱/质谱(GC/MS)技术结合傅里叶变换-红外光谱(FT-IR)对11个化合物进行了表征。分析化合物为2,7-二甲基辛烷(3.21%)、癸烷(5.33%)、十一烷(3.81%)、三烷酸甲酯(4.76%)、十六烷酸(9.37%)、11-十八烷酸甲酯(23.18%)、五烷酸、14-甲基甲酯(4.43%)、(Z)-13-十二烷酸(10.71%)、十二烷基五氟丙酸(9.52%)、2-十二烷基1,3-丙二醇(6.38%)、1,12-三烯二烯(19.30%)。萃取物的FT-IR分析显示在1270.17 (C - o和C - f)、1641.48 (C=C)、2937.68 (C - h)和3430.51 (O-H) cm−1处的峰表明存在醚、烯烃、烷烃、醇、羧酸和氟化合物。这些化合物由32.37%的酯、31.65%的烃类、20.08%的脂肪酸、9.52%的卤代酯和6.38%的醇组成。最高成分为11-十八烯酸甲酯,其次为1,12-三烯二烯。由于没有进行行为生物测定,因此认为这些化合物是信息素的半化学物质仍然是一种假设。
