Abstract Two new triterpenoids, skimmiarepin A and B, which both exhibit an insect growth inhibitory activity against the silkworm, Bombyx mori L., have been isolated from the leaves and the fruit of Skimmia japonica Thunb. var. intermedia Komatsu f. repens (Nakai) Hara. Their structures have been determined by extensive 2D NMR studies and chemical methods.
