Abstract
We report the deterrent, toxic, and antireproductive effect of several Solanum glycoalkaloids on the potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, and discuss the structure–activity relationship of the tested compounds. The results indicate a structure-dependent biological effect of the glycoalkaloids, suggesting that, while the structure of the aglycone defines a basal biological effect, the carbohydrate moiety is crucial for the overall biological effect.
