Antifeedant

Antifeedants are organic compounds produced by plants to repel herbivores through distaste or toxicity.

See Quassinoid and Antifeedant

Antimalarial medications or simply antimalarials are a type of antiparasitic chemical agent, often naturally derived, that can be used to treat or to prevent malaria, in the latter case, most often aiming at two susceptible target groups, young children and pregnant women.
