Effects of volatile oils of the Microlobius foetidus on trypsin, chymotrypsin and acetylcholinesterase activities in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Abstract: Volatile oils of Microlobius foetidus were used for the evaluation of mortality, trypsin, chymotrypsin and acetylcholine inhibition and Aedes aegypti morphology. Bioassays were made with different concentrations (25, 50 and 100 μg/ml) and alterations in the gut of 4th stage larvae were observed. Volatile oils affected larvae in all stages, with 100% mortality for the 100 μg/ml concentration (LD 50 >33.02). The acute toxic unit (2.7 μg/ml), chronic toxic unit (32.68 μg/ml) and toxic load (2.7 μg/ml) confirm the… Show more

“…As a result, increased larval mortality was observed, which was in accordance with Nishiwaki et al (2003). Similar to the obtained result, Cristiane et al (2014) and is broadly distributed in insects. They are characterized as α/β and catalyze the hydrolysis of carboxylic esters into alcohols and acids.…”

“…As a result, increased larval mortality was observed, which was in accordance with Nishiwaki et al (2003). Similar to the obtained result, Cristiane et al (2014) assessed the effects of Microlobius foetidus essential oil on acetylcholinesterase activity in A. aegypti . In treatment, the level of acetylcholinesterase enzyme was significantly reduced compared to control.…”
