Abstrakt: The antioxidant and larvicidal activities of Tephrosia egregiaextracts and its major component, dehydrorotenone, were studied. High antioxidant activity was found for dehydrorotenone and methanol and ethyl acetate extracts from roots and stems, respectively. Among the tested extracts, the hexane extract from stems showed potent larvicidal activity (LC5012.88 ± 0.64) while low activity was found for dehydrorotenone.
