The natural lipophilic amides piperine and piperiline were isolated from Piper nigrum L (Piperaceae). Piperine was hydrolysed into piperic acid (85% yield) which was converted into 16 amides (28-89% yield). The contact toxicity of all synthetic amides, and also that of piperine and piperiline, at the dose 10 micrograms per insect, was evaluated for the Brazilian economically important insects Ascia monuste orseis Latr, Acanthoscelides obtectus Say, Brevicoryne brassicae L, Protopolybia exigua DeSaus and Cornitermes cumulans Kollar. The results demonstrated that the insects have different sensivities to the various amides, with mortality ranging from 0 to 97.5% according to the compound and insect species.
