Periplocoside N is primarily studied for its potent insecticidal and antifeedant properties. It acts as a natural pesticide by disrupting the nervous system of certain insect pests, making it effective against species such as aphids and spider mites. Due to its botanical origin, it is considered a biopesticide candidate with low environmental persistence and reduced toxicity to non-target organisms. Research also explores its potential in integrated pest management programs, especially in organic farming, where synthetic chemicals are avoided. Additionally, it shows synergistic effects when combined with other natural compounds, enhancing its efficacy at lower concentrations.
