Azadirachtin is a limonoid compound that is found in the seeds of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) and is primarily used in agricultural research as a potent biopesticide. It is studied for its ability to disrupt the life cycle of insects, acting as an antifeedant, growth inhibitor, and oviposition deterrent. Research on azadirachtin focuses on its modes of action, which include inhibiting the synthesis and release of molting hormones, thereby preventing the maturation of larvae and affecting the reproductive cycle of pests. Further studies investigate the potential for azadirachtin to serve as an environmentally friendly pesticide alternative, due to its biodegradability and low toxicity to non-target organisms. Azadirachtin is also of interest for its potential to induce systemic acquired resistance in plants, enhancing their defensive capacity against a broad spectrum of pests.
