“…In addition, the leaves essential oil (EO) having as its major component the sesquiterpene α-humulene, followed by β-caryophyllene, viridiflorene, β-selinene, seychellene and δ-cadinene 10 showed antifungal activity against Candida neoformans and C. krusei. Additionally, for the EO from leaves having as its major constituent the viridiflorol and also aromadendrene, β-selinene and selin-1-en-4--ol, larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti L.(IC50=121 µg.mL -1 ) was described 11 . Studies concerning a comparative analysis of the seasonality effect in the EO chemical composition of leaves and reproductive organs were not performed for Piper gaudichaudianum to date.…”

“…Five concentrations (10, 50, 100, 250 and 500 ppm) of the essential oils were used based on (Morais, et al 2007). Batches of 25 larvae of 3º-4º instar for each concentration were tested with four replicates and included a control (1ml of DMSO diluted in 100 ml of water).…”

“…Essential oils of many Brazilian plants display larvicidal activity, e.g., Ocimum americanum, Ocimum gratissimum (Cavalcanti, et al 2004), Croton zehntneri (Morais, et al 2006), including Piper species (Morais, et al 2007), therefore, in the present study, essential oils of three Piper species commonly found in Amazon region, Brazil were tested as larvicides against the dengue vector, A. aegypti.…”

ABSTRACT:The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the vector of the dengue virus, an endemic arbovirus from tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The increasing resistance of mosquitoes to commercial insecticides impairs regular control programs; therefore, chemical prospecting originating from the Amazonian flora is promising for potential new insecticides. Several Piper species are, notably, rich in phenylpropanoids and terpenoids, substances with proven insecticidal activity. The composition and the larvicidal activity of three Piper species against A. aegypti were evaluated. Essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation in a modified Clevenger apparatus and analyzed by GC/MS. The major components found in Piper arboreum were germacrene D (31.83%) and bicyclogermacrene (21.40%); in Piper marginatum: (E)-methyl isoeugenol (27.08%), (E)-anethole (23.98%) and (Z)-methyl isoeugenol (12.01%); and in Piper aduncum: (E)-isocroweacin (29.52%) and apiole (28.62%) and elemicin (7.82%). Essential oils from the Piperaceae species studied resulted in Lethal Concentrations (LC 50 ) of 34-55 ppm, while LC 90 was higher than 100 ppm, except for P. marginatum (85 ppm).Key words: Vector control; Essential oil; Piperaceae; Aedes aegypti. RESUMO: Óleo essencial da folha de espécies de Piper exibem atividade larvicida contra o vetor da dengue Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae). O mosquito Aedes aegypti é o vetor do vírus da dengue, um arbovírus endêmico em regiões tropicais e subtropicais do mundo. A crescente resistência dos mosquitos aos inseticidas comerciais prejudica programas regulares de controle, portanto, a prospecção química proveniente da flora amazônica surge como alternativa promissora para novos inseticidas. Várias espécies de Piper são notavelmente ricas em fenilpropanóides e terpenóides, substâncias com atividade inseticida comprovada. A composição e atividade larvicida de três espécies de Piper sobre A. aegypti foi avaliada. Os óleos essenciais foram extraídos por hidrodestilação em Clevenger modificado e analisado por GC/MS. Os principais componentes encontrados em Piper arboreum foram germacreno D (31,83%) e biciclogermacreno (21,40%); Piper marginatum: (E)-metilo de isoeugenol (27,08%), (E)-anetole (23,98%) e (Z)-methyl isoeugenol (12,01%), e Piper aduncum: (E)-Isocroweacin (29,52%), apiol (28,62%) e elemicin (7,82%). Os óleos essenciais a partir das espécies de Piperaceae estudadas resultou em concentrações letais (CL 50 ), 34-55 ppm, enquanto que CL 90 foi superior a 100 ppm, com excepção para P. marginatum (85 ppm).

“…The Rf values of the spots were then calculated. The extract was reflected to be bioactive since they presented lethal concentrations (LC 50 and LC 90 ) that are extremely lower than 1000 mg/L [13]. The solvent used can contribute to the variation between the fractions since it has been reported that the extraction of active biochemical compounds from plants depends upon the polarity of the solvents used [8].…”

Dengue and zika continue to be the most rapidly emerging febrile diseases and pose a negative impact on social and economic activity of the country. Despite of recent innovation in dengue vaccine, eradication of the vector, Aedes aegypti, is still the best way to inhibit dengue and zika outbreaks. In this study, we evaluated the larvicidal and ovicidal activities and characterized the shell wastes of Anacardium occidentale including its stability for a period of two (2) years. The shell wastes were extracted using 95% EtOH and n-hexane and were bio-assayed for larvicidal and ovicidal activities against A. aegypti following the WHO standard bioassay method. The mortality was observed 24 and 48 hours after treatment and data were subjected to probit analysis to determine lethal concentrations (LC 50 and LC 90 ). The ethanol extract was characterized by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and phytochemical analysis.
