“…Moreover, cellular death and loss of function may result from disturbed proton motive force and decreased membrane permeability [23] . The extract from Coccinia grandis leaves may target a variety of proteins, including structural proteins, ion channels, signalling molecules, enzymes, receptors, and bio membranes, among other cellular constituents [24] .…”

The goal of the current study is to synthesise silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using Coccinia grandis leaf extract in aqueous form and assess their effectiveness against mosquito larvicidal properties. Through the use of FTIR analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and UV visible absorption, the synthesised silver nanoparticles (SNP) were identified and verified. Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus I st to IV th in star larvae were assayed for 24 and 48 hours at different concentrations (50-250 ppm). Aqueous extracts from Coccinia grandis leaves exhibited noteworthy activity, while silver nanoparticles (SNP) demonstrated a notably greater mortality activity in Culex quinquefasciatus than Aedes aegypti larvae in the current investigation. The potential larvicidal activity of our study's Coccinia grandis leaf extract and synthesised SNPs suggests that this could be an excellent environmentally friendly method of control and protection. This is only an initial investigation into its larvicidal activity more research is required for deep insights of this formulation.

“…In this study, the inhibitory effect of the methanolic extract of Z. fagara on glucose absorption may explain its antihyperglycemic effect in in vivo. To date, for Z. fagara, only larvicidal activity has been reported (17); however, several species of the genus Zanthoxylum have been reported as inhibitors of digestive enzymes (18,19) and as antidiabetics (20). Silva et al (21) reported the antiviral activity of hydroalcoholic extract of J. dioica, while Araujo et al (22) showed that the aqueous extract of J. dioica is neither cytotoxic nor genotoxic.…”

iabetes mellitus is one of the most common non-contagious diseases. In 2017, The International Diabetes Federation reported that around 425 million people suffer from diabetes worldwide. Medications used for the treatment of diabetes lead to unwanted side effects, and thus, new safe drugs are necessary. Some natural plant-based products exhibit anti hyperglycemic activity and low toxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antihyperglycemic activity (using both in vitro and in vivo models) as well as cytotoxicity of the extracts obtained from various plants. Nine extracts from a total of eight plant species were subjected to in vitro Î±-amylase and Î±-glucosidase inhibition assays. Subsequently, they were assessed through the ex vivo everted sac assay, and finally, the in vivo antihyperglycemic activity was evaluated. The extracts obtained from Ceanothus coeruleus, Chrysactinia mexicana and Zanthoxylum fagara inhibited the activities of Î±-amylase and Î±-glucosidase in the in vitro assays. Ethyl acetate and hydroalcoholic extracts from Jatropha dioica, hydroalcoholic extract from Salvia ballotaeflora and Chrysactinia mexicana, as well as methanolic extract from Ricinus communis and Zanthoxylum fagara significantly reduced the glucose uptake in the ex vivo everted intestinal sac test. All the eight extracts showed antihyperglycemic effect through the in vivo model of the Glucose Tolerance Test, using starch as the carbohydrate source. The antihyperglycemic effect of the extracts could be mediated through the inhibition of digestive enzymes and/or the absorption of glucose through the intestine. However, the mechanism of action for the hydroalcoholic extract of Salvia texana and the methanolic extract of Turnera diffusa, which showed a strong in vivo antihyperglycemic effect, is unclear.

“…perniciosum showed the lowest larvicidal activities, with LC 50 values of, 80, 50, and 20 µg/mL, respectively [51]. Other organic extracts observed to have larvicidal activity against A. aegypti include those of R. chalepensis , T. vulgaris , and Z. fagara , exhibiting notable LC 50 values of 1.8, 4.4 and 75.1 µg/mL, respectively [52]. In contrast, the aqueous extract of A. indica showed slight effects towards four different instars of C. quinquefasciatus (LD 50 = 410–550 ppm) [53].…”

Plant metabolites have been used for many years to control pests in animals and to protect crops. Here, we reviewed the available literature, looking for the species of Mexican flora for which extracts and metabolites have shown activity against pest insects and parasitic nematodes of agricultural importance, as well as against nematodes that parasitize domestic cattle. From 1996 to 2018, the search for novel and eco-friendly biopesticides has resulted in the identification of 114 species belonging to 36 botanical families of Mexican plants with reported biological effects on 20 insect species and seven nematode species. Most plant species with detected pesticide properties belong to the families Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Lamiaceae. Eighty-six metabolites have been identified as pesticidal active principles, and most have been terpenoids. Therefore, the continuation and intensification of this area of research is very important to contribute to the generation of new products that will provide alternatives to conventional pesticide agents. In addition, future studies will contribute to the recognition and dissemination of the importance of propagating plant species for their conservation and sustainable use.
