“…In China, C. spinosa has been used since ancient times in traditional medicine especially for the treatment of rheumatism and gout (Fu et al, 2008). With regard to the constituents of the C. spinosa, a number of flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, volatile oils and fatty acids have been reported (Matthäus & Ozcan, 2002;Sharaf et al, 1997;Khanfar et al, 2003;Yang et al, 2008).…”

“…Previous studies on C. spinosa revealed the presence of flavonoids such as rutin, quercetin and its derivatives from C. spinosa aerial parts. 8,33 Molluscicidal activities of rutin and quercetin were proved against Lymnaea snails. 34,35 Nevertheless, quercetin derivatives weren't investigated yet, except quercetin 3-(2"-galloylglucoside).…”

Objective: Fascioliasis caused by Fasciola hepatica L. (Fasciolidae), a digenetic trematode, is a parasitic disease infecting many people worldwide. The present study was carried out to evaluate the molluscicidal and larvicidal activities of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparaceae) aerial parts against Galba truncatula Müll. (Lymnaeidae) and Fasciola hepatica larval stages contaminating this snail in Tunisia. Accordingly, ethyl acetate, methanol and methanol-water were used as solvents of extraction. n-hexane, methylene chloride and methanol were used for the fractionation of the active extract. Materials and Methods: Phytochemical tests were conducted on extracts in order to establish a meaningful relationship the most active with molluscicidal and larvicidal activities. Results: ethyl acetate extracts showed potent activities, giving LC 50 =8.03 mg/L for leaves and LC 50 =8.79 mg/L for stems. All the fractions of leaf ethyl acetate extracts were active. The highest activity was detected in the methanolic fraction with LC 50 =3.53 mg/L. Ethyl acetate extracts of leaves, stems and the methanolic fraction of leaf ethyl acetate extract an LC gave potent larvicidal activities with deterioration rates exceeding 30.39% (30.39; 91.52%). Phytochemical tests showed that these activities may be attributed to the presence of sterols/ carotenoids/triterpenoids in ethyl acetate extracts and flavonoids/saponins in the methanolic fraction. Conclusion: The molluscicidal potential of C. spinosa has been proved in the present investigations and can be recommended for control of G. truncatula snails.

“…Externamente, utiliza-se o suco das folhas para a redução de otites supuradas e as raízes são eficazes no tratamento de bronquites asmáticas (Leal et al, 2007). No gênero Cleome são relatadas a presença de alcalóides (Delaveau et al 1973), flavonóides (Sharaf et al, 1997;Mahmoud et al, 2003), fenoxicoumarina (Ramachandran, 1979), diterpenos cembranos (Collins et al, 2004), Esteróides glicosídeos (Srivastava, 1982), triterpenos dammaranos (Ahmed et al, 2001) e sais de amônio quaternários (Mc Lean et al, 1996).…”

RESUMO:Aleloquímicos são substâncias liberadas por certas espécies vegetais no ambiente que influenciam a germinação e o desenvolvimento de outras plantas. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o potencial fitotóxico de Cleome guianensis Aubl., bem como determinar o grau de estresse oxidativo causado em Senna occidentalis L. Para isso, o óleo das folhas de C. guianensis, nas concentrações 0,5 µg/mL, 1,0 µg/mL, 2,5 µg/mL e 5,0 µg/mL, em solução de 5 ml foi testado em bioensaios de germinação e de crescimento da raiz primária e do hipocótilo de S. occidentalis. Os indivíduos de S. occidentalis foram macerados, homogeneizados e submetidos a ensaios de quantificação da catalase, peroxidase, SOD e de peroxidação lipídica. Os resultados indicam que todas as concentrações do óleo volátil causaram um efeito negativo sobre a germinação e crescimento de S. occidentalis. Na concentração 5,0 µg/mL, houve 56% de inibição da germinação e 83% de inibição de crescimento do hipocótilo. Ainda, o óleo aumentou a atividade das enzimas induzidas pelo estresse oxidativo catalase, peroxidase e superóxido dismutase (SOD). Quanto à peroxidação lipídica, o óleo nas concentrações 1,0 µg/ mL, 2,5 µg/mL e 5,0 µg/mL aumentou a produção de malondialdeído. Sendo assim, conclui-se que C. guianensis apresenta aleloquímicos que influenciam na germinação e no crescimento de S. occidentalis, além de aumentar a atividade das enzimas catalase, peroxidase, SOD e a produção de malondialdeído em S. occidentalis. Dessa forma, sugere-se a realização de estudos sobre o perfil químico do óleo a fim de descobrir as substâncias responsáveis por tais resultados e consolidar o potencial fitotóxico de C. guianensis.Palavras-chave: Alelopatia, bioherbicida, estresse oxidativo.ABSTRACT: Phytotoxic effect of Cleome guianensis Aubl. on the initial growth of Senna occidentalis L. Allelochemicals inhibit the germination and growth of other plants. The purpose of this study was to assess the phytotoxic potential of Cleome guianensis Aubl., as well as determine the degree of oxidative stress caused in Senna occidentalis L. For this purpose, oil from the leaves of C. guianensis in concentrations of 0.5 µg/mL, 1.0 µg/mL, 2.5 µg/mL, and 5.0 µg/mL were tested in bioassays on the germination and growth of S. occidentalis. Specimens of S. occidentalis were macerated, homogenized, and submitted to catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and lipid peroxidation quantification tests. Results showed that all concentrations of the volatile oil had a negative effect on S. occidentalis germination and growth. In the 5.0 µg/mL concentration, the oil inhibited 56% of germination and 83% of hypocotyl growth. In addition, the oil increased the activity of the enzymes induced by oxidative stress: catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase SOD. For lipid peroxidation, the oil in the 1.0 µg/mL, 2.5 µg/mL and 5.0 µg/mL concentrations increased the production of malondialdehyde. In addition, C. guianensis presents allelochemicals that influence the germination and growth of S. occ...
