A Piperidine Amide Extracted from Piper longum L. Fruit Shows Activity against Aedes aegypti Mosquito Larvae

Abstract: Mosquito larvicidal activity of Piper longum fruit-derived materials against the fourth-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti was examined. A crude methanol extract of P. longum fruits was found to be active against the larvae, and the hexane fraction of the methanol extract showed a strong larvicidal activity of 100% mortality. The biologically active component of P. longum fruits was characterized as pipernonaline by spectroscopic analyses. The LC(50) value of pipernonaline was 0.25 mg/L. The toxicity of pipernonal… Show more

“…On 1991 Sukumar et al [12] reviewed the use of natural products derived from 344 different plant species to control mosquito populations. Thus, the plant derived products have received increased attention from scientists and nowadays more than 2,000 plant species have already been screened as potent insecticides providing possible lead candidates to replace synthetic chemical insecticides for controlling mosquito larvae [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. In this regard, plant extracts of the Lamiaceae family present an intriguing case, since they comprise a significant source of potential mosquito control agents [12,21].…”

“…1A), an alkaloid/amide component, is one such agent. Derived from the plant species Piper longum Linn, piperlongumine has been shown to possess numerous key biologic activities such as anti-platelet aggregation (17), antibacterial and insecticidal (18), anti-atherosclerotic (19), anxiolytic (20), antidepressant (21), antidiabetic (22,23), anti-inflammatory (23), and antitumor capabilities (24). Among the multivalent effects, the potential of piperlongumine as a novel anticancer agent have gained considerable attention recently.…”

“…In addition, the effect of degradation of a toxic insecticide metabolites in the environment leading to environmental pollution such as pollution of surface water and ground water (Dua et al, 2010) as well as negative effects on non-target organisms, including human (Yang et al, 2002). Recognizing this problem, scientists seek new alternatives in the production of environmentally friendly insecticide and at the same time preventing resistance in the vector.…”
