Feeding bioassays with different larval stages of the insect were used to monitor the isolation and identification of two bioactive constituents that could explain the natural resistance of this plant.
Seasonal Anointment with Millipedes in a Wild Primate: A Chemical Defense Against Insects?

It is argued that the secretion that rubs off on the monkeys in the course of anointment provides protection against insects, particularly mosquitoes (and the bot flies they transmit) during the rainy season.

It is found the DIPs to be present in high concentration in the anthers and ovarian wall of the flower, suggesting that the compounds also serve in defense.

It is shown that formic acid or other relatively strong irritants are correlated with tribes having a high species diversity in tropical regions, whereas tribes exhibiting higher diversity in temperate regions use milder saturated/unsaturated carboxylic acids.

The defensive secretions of male and female Oodes americanus display striking qualitative differences, and shared components also include hexanoic, (E)-2-hexenoic, benzoic, and (E-2-octenoic acid, of which the latter two had not previously been reported from carabid beetles.
LC/MS characterization of undesired products formed during iodoacetamide derivatization of sulfhydryl groups of peptides.

- Chemistry, BiologyJournal of Mass Spectrometry
- 1 February 2007
It is reported here that iodoacetamide reacts with the N- terminal NH2 and the C-terminal carboxylic acid groups, in addition to the peripheral residues bearing protic functional groups, and derivatives formed in this way are useful for sequence determination of peptides by MS.
