N2 - Oriental crude drug, Bombyx Batryticatus, is dried silkworm larva, Bombyx mori L., which are dead and stiffened due to a Beauveria bassiana infection. In traditional Japanese, Korean, and Chinese medicine, it is employed as analgesic and anticonvulsant. We investigated the constituents of Bombyx Batryticatus and isolated four novel aromatics bearing 4-O-methylglucose moiety, BB-1, 2, 3, and 4 (1-4). It is speculated that these compounds are produced by an interaction between plants, insects, and microorganisms.
