“…It is a rapid, inexpensive and simple bioassay for testing plant extract lethality which in most cases correlates reasonably well with cytotoxic and antitumour properties (McLaughlin et al, 1991). This assay is considered as a useful tool for preliminary assessment of toxicity and it has been used for the detection of fungal toxins, plant extract toxicity, heavy metals, pesticides and the cytotoxicity testing of dental materials (Harwing and Scott, 1971;McLaughlin et al, 1991;Martinez et al, 1998;Barahona and Sanchez-Fortun, 1999;Pelka et al, 2000). Comparing the BSLT with the respective snail bioassay, Devappa et al (2011b) concluded that the BSLT is less sensitive towards J. curcas PEs with respect to toxicity screening.…”

Jatropha curcas Linnaeus, 1753 is a plant with several uses for communities in Cameroon and other African countries. However, present methods of detoxifying J. curcas kernel cake (JKC) to add value to its further utilization are too sophisticated for cottage operations in rural areas. This study sought to evaluate two auto-detoxification methods using the shellfish brine shrimp, Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758). Two identical J. curcas auto-detoxification apparatuses (JADA) were developed: one simulating diffuse daylight (DJADA) and the other solar irradiation (SJADA) conditions. JKC was pretreated by either soaking or boiling in water or lye. The pretreated samples were then placed in the JADA and either re-moistened to 66% dry matter (DM) or left un-moistened. Among the 14 pretreated samples, water soaked solar without re-moistening (WS1), lye soaked solar without re-moistening (LS1), and water soaked solar with re-moistening (WS2) had LC 50 values above 1000 ppm after four weeks. On the other hand, un-moistened diffuse daylight spread (UDC), boiled in water and exposed to diffused daylight without remoistening (WD3), and un-moistened solar spread (USS) were the least detoxified within the same period of four weeks with LC 50 values less than 60 ppm. Irrespective of the pretreatment, extracts from the SJADA had higher LC 50 values when compared to that of DJADA. This finding suggests that sunlight is an important factor in auto-detoxification. The top three most efficient detoxified treatments: WS1, LS1 and WS2 are recommended for further development and testing with livestock and fish models. This study confirms that JKC is toxic, but under natural conditions is exposed to auto-detoxifying factors which are both endogenous and environmental. When these conditions are optimally manipulated, the detoxification rate is enhanced. Farmers in rural communities can use this strategy to detoxify JKC, transform it into livestock and fish dietary ingredient and consequently enhance its contribution to climate change mitigation.

RESUMO: "Estudo preliminar das propriedades moluscicidas e larvicidas de alguns óleosABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the molluscicidal and larvicidal activity of some essential oils and phytochemicals from medicinal plants. Molluscicide and larvicidal activity were determined by, respectively, the lethality bioassays using Artemia salina Leach. Artemiidae and Aedes aegypti L. Culicidae larvae. Essential oils from Eugenia uniflora L. Myrtaceae, Laurus nobilis L. Lauraceae, Origanum vulgare L. Lamiaceae and the phytochemicals α-pinene and eugenol presented citotoxicity toward Artemia salina with CL 50 values between 9.59 and 253.43 µL/mL. Essential oils from E. uniflora, M. piperita, O. vulgare and R. officinalis showed embryotoxicity on Aedes aegypti larvae with a viability inhibition between 40 and 100%. These results show the bioactivity of the assayed essential oils and phytochemicals and, partially, justify their insertion in further evaluation in order to establish a safe exploitation of their biological potentiality.

“…Esta metodologia tem sido empregada ainda para detectar toxicidade preliminar de algas marinhas (Ara et al, 1999), realizar triagem de toxinas fúngicas (Harwig;Scott, 1971), avaliar efeitos de exposição a metais pesados (Martinez et al, 1999) e pesticidas (Barahona;Sánchez-Fortún, 1999) e para testes de toxicidade em materiais dentários (Pelka et al, 2000). Carballo et al (2002) compararam extratos de produtos marinhos com o ensaio de letalidade com larvas de A. salina e quanto à citotoxicidade em 2 linhagens de células humanas.…”
