Six compounds were isolated from the CH2Cl2 extract of Eleocharis dulcis Trin. They are hexacosanoic acid (1),5 alpha-stigmastane-3,6-dione (2), beta-sitosterol (3), stigmasterol (4), betulin (5), and tricin (6). 5 alpha-Stigmastane-3,6-dione, betulin, and tricin showed antifeedant activity against bell weevils.
