“…(Casinovi et al 1964;Polonski and Fourrey 1964). Its phytotoxic activity was discovered in the 1990s, first as a pure compound (Heisey 1996) and later as a part of A. altissima extracts (Lin et al 1995;Heisey 1996). It was identified as a main phytotoxic component in A. altissima extracts by Heisey (1996).…”

Globally, invasions by alien plants are rapidly increasing in extent and severity, leading to large-scale ecosystem degradation. One of the most widespread invasive alien plant species in Europe and North America, Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle) was introduced intentionally for use as an ornamental plant in the 18th century. Since then, it has spread and is now frequently found in a number of countries. Today, Tree of Heaven is considered one of the worst invasive plant species in Europe and is also listed as invasive in North America and many other countries. Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is one of many systems trying to list and categorize biological services to humans and to provide a tool for identifying services delivered by natural ecosystems. Invasive species have generally caused degradation of the services, have a major impact on the environment, and are threatening biodiversity and reducing overall species abundance and diversity. On the other hand, some invasive species can provide services useful to human well-being. In the present review A. altissima impacts on ecosystems are identified and positive influences on some ecosystem services are weighed against the negative effects on the environment and human health. The aim of the present review is to resume the general knowledge of A. altissima, group available references on distribution and ecology according to countries, compare ecosystem services provided or enhanced by A. altissima presence and the negative effects it causes, identify gaps in current knowledge, and give recommendations for future lines of research.

“…Tienen un amplio espectro de actividades farmacológicas: antitumorales (Lee, 1999), antileucémicas (Itokawa et al, 1992) y antimaláricas (O'Neill et al, 1985) entre otras. Por otra parte, ha crecido el interés sobre su potencial aplicación en agricultura como insecticidas (Lidert et al, 1987), fungicidas (Hoffmann et al, 1992) y herbicidas (Lin et al, 1995;Dayan et al, 1999b).…”

“…In recent years, attention has been focused on quassinoids because several of them have shown promising biological activities phytotoxic, antifeedant, insecticidal (Almeida et al, 2007). Quassinoids act against insects, nematodes and weeds (Koul, 2008;Powell et al, 1998;Leskinen et al, 1984;Chitwod, 2002;Lin et al, 1995). In nematodes quassinoids acts as noncompetitive antagonists of the ionotropic GABARs to stabilize the closed conformation of the channel, resulting in the inhibition of the action of GABA (Kuriyama et al, 2005).…”
