“…The oil extracted from the leaves of L. gracilis has been previously researched. The studies conducted by Santiago et al [ 53 ] and Silva et al [ 54 ] showed lower LC 50 values than the ones observed in this work. However, the experimental conditions were considerably different, especially compared to those utilized by Silva et al [ 54 ], who used laboratory-reared larvae.…”

The mosquito Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) is the major vector of dengue and chikungunya fever. The lack of effective therapies and vaccines for these diseases highlights the need for alternative strategies to control the spread of virus. Therefore, this study investigated the larvicidal potential of essential oils from common plant species obtained from the Chapada das Mesas National Park, Brazil, against third instar A. aegypti larvae. The chemical composition of these oils was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The essential oils of Eugenia piauhiensis Vellaff., Myrcia erythroxylon O. Berg, Psidium myrsinites DC., and Siparuna camporum (Tul.) A. DC. were observed to be mainly composed of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. The essential oil of Lippia gracilis Schauer was composed of oxygenated monoterpenes. Four of the five tested oils were effective against the A. aegypti larvae, with the lethal concentration (LC50) ranging from 230 to 292 mg/L after 24 h of exposure. Overall, this work demonstrated the possibility of developing larvicidal products against A. aegypti by using essential oils from the flora of the Brazilian Legal Amazon. This in turn demonstrates the potential of using natural resources for the control of disease vectors.

“…Plant products have been used against the vectors, and plant-derived products can act as larvicides [14]. Essential oils from plants like Lippia species [15] and Croton zehntneri [16], and various extracts and compounds [17,18] have been documented for larvicidal activity towards Aedes aegypti. As part of a continuous research program on plants from northeast Brazil, this work describes the isolation of the diterpenes zanzibaric acid and isoozic acid, and the sesquiterpene caryolane-1,9β-diol from the peel of the ripe fruits of H. courbaril, and the chemical composition of the essential oils from the peel of both ripe and unripe fruits of H. courbaril, as well as the evaluation of these oils for their larvicidal activity against A. aegypti.…”

The chemical compositions of the essential oils from the peel of ripe and unripe fruits of Hymenaea courbaril L., obtained by hydrodistillation, were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The main constituents of the essential oil from the peel of the ripe fruits were the sesquiterpenes α-copaene (11.1%), spathulenol (10.1%) and β-selinene (8.2%), while germacrene-D (31.9%), β-caryophyllene (27.1%) and bicyclogermacrene (6.5%) were the major compounds in the oil from unripe fruits. The essential oils were tested against Aedes aegypti larvae and showed LC 50 values of 14.8 ± 0.4 μg/mL and 28.4 ± 0.3 μg/mL for the ripe and unripe fruit peel oils, respectively. From the peel of the ripe fruits, the diterpenes zanzibaric acid and isoozic acid were isolated, along with the sesquiterpene caryolane-1,9β-diol. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this sesquiterpene in the genus. The structures of all compounds isolated were identified on the basis of their spectral data (IR, MS, 1D-and 2D-NMR) and by comparison with literature spectral data.

Microwave-assisted hydrodistillation, simultaneous distillation-solvent extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction, were used to isolate secondary metabolites from two Lippia origanoides chemotypes growing wild in Colombia. Compound identification was based on chromatographic and spectroscopic criteria. The main components identified in the essential oil of one chemotype were carvacrol (44.4-51.8%) and p-cymene (8.8-10.1%). Those of the other chemotype were p-cymene (11.3-15.7%) and 1,8-cineole (6.8-10.9%). The last one constitutes a new chemotype, characterized by its low thymol and carvacrol contents and very low antioxidant activity. The radical scavenging activity of the essential oil of the first chemotype was higher than that of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and similar to that of α-tocopherol.
