Abstract

The mangrove plant Heritiera littoralis has been utilized by natives of the Philippines as a fish poison. The petroleum ether extract of this plant has shown toxicity to fish (Tilapia nilotico). A new piscicide, which was assigned the name heritonin [1], has been identified as one of the compounds with ichthyotoxicity. The structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
