“…Elpidina and cols (Elpidina et al, 2000) showed that the digestion in N. cinerea midgut is carried out with optimal activity at pH 11.5 by three types of serine proteinases and one cysteine proteinase, what could explain the absence of lethality of JBU in this insect model. On the other hand, it is already known that urease-derived peptides do not account for all the entomotoxic properties displayed by these proteins.…”

The search for novel natural molecules with insecticide potential has become a necessity more than an alternative. Understanding the mode of action of candidate molecules is a crucial step towards the development of new bioinsecticides. The present study focused on the neurotoxicity of Canavalia ensiformis urease, a natural insecticide, in cockroaches and revealed interferences on the cholinergic, octopaminergic and GABA-ergic pathways as part of its entomotoxic mode of action.
