According to WHO, about 80% Annonaceae, of the world’s population use herbal drugs for their primary health care. These drugs are cheap Annonaceous acetogenins, with no or less side effects. The Annonaceous acetogenins are C-32 or C-34 long-chain fatty Cytotoxic and pesticidal properties, acids that have been combined with a 2- propanol unit at C-2 to form a terminal -unsaturated NADH-cytochrome-c oxidoreductase -lactone. They often cyclize to form one, two, or three tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydopyran inhibitor rings near the middle of the alphabetic chain. To date, nearly 400 of these compounds have been isolated from several genera of the plant family, Annonaceae. The potential application of acetogenin molecules is linked to their marked properties: cytotoxic and antitumor (gigantecin, bullatacin, and rolliniastatin) and pesticidal (asimicine and annonin). Biochemically, acetogenins block mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting NADH-cytochrome-c oxidoreductase; this would explain their pesticidal activity among others.
