“…(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae third instar (Ben El Hadj Ali et al 2015). The lethal concentration (LC50) value of M. pulegium was 0.3 μL/L on some Lepidopteran species adults was demonstrated (Chaaban et al 2019). Other studies showed that larvicidal activity of M. pulegium was more efficient on the 3rd instar fourth and fifth instars larvae of Orgyia trigotephras (Lepidoptera) (Ezzine et al 2018).…”

The wax moth is one of the honeybee pests that cause a lot of damage and loss for the beekeepers in Tunisia. The use of insecticides is more and more used although they are known to contaminate wax and honey. This study aims to test the essential oils of two North African common plants Thymbra capitata L. and Mentha pulegium L. efficacy as alternative method by fumigation on instars of Galleria mellonela L. We also determined the duration of the development stages of the great wax moth (GWM) presented in Tunisia. Results showed that under a temperature ranged between 30 and 33°C, the total duration from eggs to adults of GWM lasted 51 days. The fumigant test showed the toxicity of both oils on larvae instars tested. The second larvae instar was more susceptible than the 4th instar. Moreover, M. pulegium was more toxic against the 2nd larvae instar than T. capitata with an LC50 at 48h of 41.82 and 456.27 µl/L air, respectively. The essential oils present a good alternative to the insecticides to control wax moths.

“…In a study of insecticidal activities of Ruta graveolens, Mentha pulegium and Ocimum basilicum leaves, essential oils from south of Tunisia, Chaaban et al found that the lethal concentration (LC 50 ) values of O. basilicum, M. pulegium and R. graveolens were, respectively, 0.96, 0.3 and 1.02 µL/L air on E. kuehniella, and were 1.23, 0.31 and 1.97 µL/L air on E. ceratoniae. M. pulegium essential oil was more toxic to the two stored date pests E. kuehniella and E. ceratoniae at all tested concentrations [21]. Pavela et al reported the potential of the boldo folium (Peumus boldus) as an insecticide as their main active components, 1,8-cineole (20.7%), p-cymene (18.5%), limonene (9.1%), ascaridole (9.1%) and β-phellandrene (6.4%) were toxic to larvae of the filariasis vector Culex quinquefasciatus and adults of the housefly Musca domestica, showing LC 50 /LD 50 values of 67.9 mg•L−1 and 98.5 µg•adult−1, respectively, among other species tested during their studies with promising insecticidal activity despite the fact that the mode of action is still unclear [22].…”

“…This study evaluated the fumigant toxicities of these essential oils toward the most important and destructive insects that attack dates in storage. The most active components of Ruta graveolens oil identified by GC-MS were linalool (29.23%), methyl cinnamate (18.97%) and eugenol (5.84%), followed by 1,8-cineole (5.74%), α-cadinol (5.69%), estragol (4.72%) and α-bergamotene (4.24%); whereas M. pulegium essential oil had 1,8-cineole (14.60%), p-menthan-3-one (14.9%), piperitenone (11.4%), carene (10.19%), menthol (8.76%), trans-caryophyllene (6.64%) and menthyl alcohol (6.14%) as major components [21]. Chaubey studied the insecticidal properties of Zingiber officinale and Piper cubeda against Tibolim castaneum which is a wheat flour insect pest, finding activity at concentrations as low as 0.003215% and with LC 50 values against this insect's larvae of 2.29, 1.23 and 0.97 µl/cm 3 respectively.…”

Indiscriminate use of pesticides is troublesome in our environment, creating toxic soils, groundwater, ponds and lakes, and oceans. Application of chemical pest control results in the death of many insects. These toxic chemicals interrupt entire ecosystems, causing havoc on pollinators such as bees and other beneficial insects, birds and animals as well as humans. It has been estimated that about 2.5 million tons of pesticides are used on crops each year, and that the worldwide damage caused by pesticides reaches $100 billion annually. This paper summarizes the results found in the scientific literature and highlights the fact that secondary metabolites of plants are involved in the interaction with other species, primarily in the defense response of plants against pests. These secondary metabolites sometimes called botanicals represent a huge reservoir of chemical structures with pesticidal activity largely underutilized in modern times compared to the industrial scale seen with chemical pesticides. There are several advantages of botanical pesticides including fast degradation by sunlight and moisture or by detoxifying enzymes. The target-specific nature and lower phytotoxicity of these botanicals have prompted researchers to investigate more in depth the mechanisms of action and structure-activity relationship of these botanicals in order to evaluate their potential as a viable pest management system. Higher plants produce a diverse array of secondary metabolites, which include phenols, terpenes, alkaloids, lignans and their glycosides. This variety of active compounds plays a significant role in the defense mechanisms of plants, and potentially offers a more sustainable platform to develop structural prototypes in order to identify lead molecules/products that can eventually serve as new environmentally friendly pest control agents. Alternative green methods of pest control are found in essential oils as single or multi component preparations. The positive results in repellency and killing of predatory insects proved to be both safe and biodegradable and have a broad spectrum of applications with no re-entry time. Essential oil pest controls are widely used in organic pest management practices globally, and the emerging market reflects steady growth in agriculture, home and garden, equine, livestock, turf, pets and more. Moreover, new fields of business, research and development for understanding the complexities of plant-based oils and their benefits can be created.

Cytotoxic Plant Extracts towards Insect Cells: Bioactivity and Nanoencapsulation Studies for Application as Biopesticides

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The potential of plant extracts as bioinsecticides has been described as a promising field of agricultural development. In this work, the extracts of Punica granatum (pomegranate), Phytolacca americana (American pokeweed), Glandora prostrata (shrubby gromwell), Ulex europaeus (gorce), Tagetes patula (French marigold), Camellia japonica red (camellia), Ruta graveolens (rue or herb-of-grace) were obtained, purified, and their activity against Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells was investigated. From the pool of over twenty extracts obtained, comprising different polarities and vegetable materials, less polar samples were shown to be more toxic towards the insect cell line Sf9. Among these, a dichloromethane extract of R. graveolens was capable of causing a loss of viability of over 50%, exceeding the effect of the commercial insecticide chlorpyrifos. This extract elicited chromatin condensation and the fragmentation in treated cells. Nanoencapsulation assays of the cytotoxic plant extracts in soybean liposomes and chitosan nanostructures were carried out. The nanosystems exhibited sizes lower or around 200 nm, low polydispersity, and generally high encapsulation efficiencies. Release assays showed that chitosan nanoemulsions provide a fast and total extract release, while liposome-based systems are suitable for a more delayed release. These results represent a proof-of-concept for the future development of bioinsecticide nanoformulations based on the cytotoxic plant extracts.
