“…A. squamosa was more toxic through feeding (LC 50 = 167.5 ppm vs. 382.4 ppm), whereas A. atemoya exerted greater toxicity via topical application (LC 50 = 301.3 mg/larva vs. 197.7 mg/ larva). Both A. squamosa and A. atemoya extracts reduced leaf area consumption and larval growth in a greenhouse experiment (De Seffrin et al 2010) (Fig. 2.5).…”

The documented negative impacts of synthetic insecticides on the environment as well as on human health, the consumers' concerns over insecticide residues in foods, and the emergence of resistant insects call for new approaches to manage insect pests. In this context, research on the potential use of plant extracts and their constituents has grown dramatically in the past decade. Among terrestrial plant families, Annonaceae has drawn considerable attention since the 1980s, owing to the presence of acetogenins, a class of natural products with a broad range of insecticidal bioactivities. Crude extracts from seeds, leaves, bark, twigs, and fruits obtained from the plant species of Annonaceae have been extensively tested in recent years for bioactivity to pest insects and related arthropods worldwide. Asimina triloba, Annona muricata, and Annona squamosa are the species that have been most frequently examined for their insecticidal effects.

“…Several authors reported insecticidal properties for other species of Annonaceae against different insect species (Fontana et al 1998;Seffrin et al 2010;Trindade Ribeiro et al 2013;Costa et al 2013). These studies corroborate that isolated annonaceous acetogenins interfere in the development of lepidopterans (Alali et al 1999;Morales et al 2004;Castillo-Sánchez et al 2010).…”

Annona crassiflora Mart. (Annonaceae): effect of crude extract of seeds on larvae of soybean looper Chrysodeixis includens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

ABSTRACT:The effect of a crude extract of Annona crassiflora was evaluated on larvae of the soybean looper, Chrysodeixis includens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in different stages of larval development.The extract was prepared with seeds of A. crassiflora fruits collected in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The extract was diluted in water and solubilizer agent at the concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0%; it was tested by ingestion of treated leaves and contact. The mortality rate of topically treated caterpillars of first, third, and fifth instars was significantly higher than that of the control group. For first instar caterpillars, mortality was observed within the first 24 h after application, while, for the remaining instars, it was significant after 72 h. For caterpillars fed treated leaves, no differences in mortality rates were observed within the first 120 h. These caterpillars were monitored until the end of the larval stage, during which mortality rates increased for first and third instar caterpillars. The mortality rate of fifth instar larvae was not significantly different between treatments. The treatment by ingestion was not efficient over a short period of time, but reduced the number of caterpillars that completed their development, decreasing the number of insects in the following generation. We concluded that the crude extract of A. crassiflora affected the development of C. PLANT PROTECTION -includens and is a promising compound for the control of this pest.

“…Annonaceae is a family composed of more than 130 genera and 2,300 species worldwide, which are almost exclusively tropical trees and shrubs [10]. Powdered seeds and leaves of Annona squamosa L. have traditionally been used to treat head and body lice [11].…”

“…seed extract displays a potential for insecticidal use [13]. In 1907, A. atemoya was first produced by Wester by crossing A. squamosa and A. cherimola [10]. Crude extracts of A. atemoya seeds can potentially be used in botanical insecticides, and bullatacin, which is an annonaceous acetogenin isolated from Annona atemoya , has been reported to induce apoptotic cell death in the human 2.2.15 hepatocarcinoma cell line by reducing intracellular cAMP and cGMP levels [14, 15].…”

BackgroundAngiogenesis, which is initiated by certain tumor micro-environmental conditions and diverse protein factors, plays a pivotal role during tumor development and metastasis. Therefore, many efforts have been made to develop effective anti-angiogenic agents as anticancer therapeutics. In the current study, we investigated the anti-angiogenic potential of an ethanol extract of Annona atemoya seeds (EEAA) in vitro and in vivo.MethodsThe anti-angiogenic potential of EEAA was evaluated using various in vitro/in vivo models, including cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation by human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs); a Matrigel plug assay; and tumor-induced angiogenesis. The expression of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was investigated using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, immunoassays, and western blotting.ResultsEEAA was able to significantly inhibit the angiogenic properties of HUVECs in vitro as well as angiogenic factor-induced blood vessel formation in vivo. EEAA down-regulated the expression of VEGF and HIF-1alpha/2alpha at the mRNA and protein levels, respectively, in cancer cells under hypoxic conditions.ConclusionsEEAA shows a strong anti-angiogenic potential in both in vitro and in vivo systems, and we suggest that EEAA may be a valuable herbal source for anticancer drug development.
