“…In recent years, the use of plant essential oils and their bioactive compounds as potentially effective biopesticides gained much importance. Essential oils are now a recognized alternative to hazardous artificial pesticides in the agricultural industry [ 38 , 39 , 40 ]. These substances possess a number of advantages—efficacy, high biodegradability, low toxicity, various modes of action, and availability of source materials.…”

Eugenol is a phenolic aromatic compound obtained mainly from clove oil. Due to its known antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it has long been used in various areas, such as cosmetology, medicine, and pharmacology. However, high concentrations can be toxic. A dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight is regarded as safe. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge regarding the activities and application of eugenol and its derivatives and recent research of these compounds. This review is based on information concerning eugenol characteristics and recent research from articles in PubMed. Eugenol remains of great interest to researchers, since its multidirectional action allows it to be a potential component of drugs and other products with therapeutic potential against a range of diseases.

“…The insects were reared for several generations in cowpea ( V. unguiculata cv. Sempre Verde) in 400 mL glass containers, sealed with perforated plastic lids internally lined with transparent voile‐type fabric to allow ventilation 3 . The insects were confined for 4 days for oviposition, being afterward removed.…”

“…The cowpea weevil, Callossobruchus maculatus Fabr., (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) is the major pest in stored cowpea, especially in tropical countries 3 . It causes substantial quantitative and qualitative losses resulting from the perforation of seeds and consequent weight and germination reductions.…”

Background: Stored grain insects are controlled with fumigant insecticides which can select resistant insect populations and cause environmental and applicator contamination. Thus, resistant cultivars and chemical constituents of essential oils are an alternative to the almost exclusive use of these insecticides. The effects of the combination of cowpea cultivars Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. with chemical constituents of essential oils against Callosobruchus maculatus were determined. Four cowpea cultivars: BRS Tracuateua, BR 17 Gurgueia, Epace 10 and Sempre Verde (insect rearing) untreated were used in the experiments and combined with chemical constituents of essential oil: eugenol, geraniol and trans-anethole. The biological parameters observed were: total egg number and eggs per grain, egg viability (%), insects emerged and insects per grain, immature stage viability (%), instantaneous rate of growth (ri), insect dry weight (mg), grain weight loss (%) and egg-adult period. Results: When comparing all biological parameters, the cultivars BRS Tracuateua and BR 17 Gurgueia were harmful to C. maculatus. In the toxicity tests, the results showed that LC 30 and LC 50 of the chemical constituents ranged from 54.77 to 103.48 ppm and 60.99 to 125.18 ppm, respectively. In most of the biological parameters, LC 50 had adverse effects significantly higher than LC 30 and BR 17 Gurgueia treated were harmful to C. maculatus. Conclusions: Overall, the findings showed that BR 17 Gurgueia combined with eugenol and geraniol more significantly affected the biological parameters of C. maculatus than when associated with trans-anethole, reducing egg number, insects emerged and egg viability.

“…Plants offer an extraordinary diversity of secondary metabolites, with proven efficacy against mosquito species of medical and veterinary importance, as well as against other noxious arthropod pests and vectors [13,14]. In recent years, the application of essential oils (EOs) and their bioactive compounds is gearing up rapidly as biopesticides, in order to limit the use of hazardous synthetic products, and these EOs are well-established as an alternative for the control of pre-and postharvest pests affecting agriculture-based food commodities [13,15,16]. These compounds have revealed great promise in applications like mosquito ovicide oils, given that they have shown particular potential as insecticides in organic agriculture [2,17].…”

Eugenol, the generic name of 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol, is the major component of clove essential oil, and has demonstrated relevant biological potential with well-known antimicrobial and antioxidant actions. New O-alkylated eugenol derivatives, bearing a propyl chain with terminals like hydrogen, hydroxyl, ester, chlorine, and carboxylic acid, were synthesized in the present work. These compounds were later subjected to epoxidation conditions to give the corresponding oxiranes. All derivatives were evaluated against their effect upon the viability of insect cell line Sf9 (Spodoptera frugiperda), demonstrating that structural changes elicit marked effects in terms of potency. In addition, the most promising molecules were evaluated for their impact in cell morphology, caspase-like activity, and potential toxicity towards human cells. Some molecules stood out in terms of toxicity towards insect cells, with morphological assessment of treated cells showing chromatin condensation and fragmentation, which are compatible with the occurrence of programmed cell death, later confirmed by evaluation of caspase-like activity. These findings point out the potential use of eugenol derivatives as semisynthetic insecticides from plant natural products.
