“…Substances isolated from M. subsericea were also found to be active in controlling B. glabrata. Treatment with quercetin, myricetin, and ursolic acid at a concentration of 100 ppm for 96 h induced mortalities of 100%, 80%, and 53.33%, respectively [69]. One year later, another study reported the activity of a Brazilian sandbank species against B. glabrata [70].…”

Schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease caused by trematodes of the genus Schistosoma, is the second most prevalent parasitic disease in the world. It affects around 200 million people. Clinical treatment, prophylaxis, and prevention are performed in countries susceptible to schistosomiasis. In the pharmacological treatment for an acute form of schistosomiasis, the use of antiparasitics, mainly praziquantel, is more common. As an alternative way, prevention methods such as reducing the population of intermediate hosts (mollusks) with molluscicides are important in the control of this disease by interrupting the biological cycle of this etiological parasite. Despite the importance of pharmacological agents and molluscicides, they have side effects and environmental toxicity. In addition, they can lead to the development of resistance enhancing of parasites, and lead to the search for new and effective drugs, including resources of vegetal origin, which in turn, are abundant in the affected countries. Thus, the purpose of this review is to summarize recent studies on botanical products with potential for the control of schistosomiasis, including anti-Schistosoma and molluscicide activities. In addition, species and plant derivatives according to their origin or geographical importance indicating a possible utility of local resources for countries most affected by the disease are presented.

“…Adult snails were weighed individually and received the volume that achieve the required dose. Five doses of the benzene-soluble fraction (2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 μg g −1 bw), chloroform-soluble fraction (10,12,15,20, and 40 μg g −1 bw), n-butanol-soluble fraction (100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 μg g −1 bw), isolated compounds (1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 μg g −1 bw), methomyl and methiocarb (15,30,60, 120, and 150 μg g −1 bw) were topically applied to the snail's mantle. Three replicates were used for each dose, 10 animals each.…”

“…In spite of their high toxicity to snails, natural products lack toxicity to non-target organisms and are readily biodegradable, therefore they are considered eco-friendly. 16,17 Although many phytochemicals have been isolated and proven to have molluscicidal action against freshwater snails, [18][19][20] very few extracts and/or pure compounds have been reported as natural product molluscicides against terrestrial snails. 21,22 The dogbane family, Apocynaceae, contains approximately 5100 species of herbs, shrubs, trees, and woody vines.…”

BACKGROUND Terrestrial mollusks are one of most important agricultural pests worldwide. Natural phytochemicals have an extended history as a source of pesticides. This study was planned to isolate molluscicidal active compounds from the stems of Adenium obesum. RESULTS The benzene‐soluble fraction of the hydroethanolic extract displayed the most potent molluscicidal activity against Monacha obstructa among different solvent fractions with a median lethal dose (LD50) of 4.91 µg g−1 body weight (bw). The bioactivity‐guided chemical exploration of the benzene‐soluble fraction led to the isolation of two known cardiac glycosides, cerberin and neriifolin which showed significant molluscicidal activity with LD50 values of 5.39 and 4.3 µg g−1 bw, respectively. CONCLUSION Isolation of the cardiac glycoside neriifolin from A. obesum and the molluscicidal activity of cerberin and neriifolin against terrestrial snails are reported for the first time. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Many chemicals, such as niclosamide, have been used to control B. glabrata, but environmental concerns have been raised over the use of most of them because they can affect non-target organisms, especially fishes [4,5]. The activities of molluscicidal preparations obtained from plants and lichens have previously been evaluated against B. glabrata snails and embryos [6][7][8][9]. The compounds present in these preparations usually have lower toxicity than synthetic compounds against nontarget organisms, but caution is still required in the use of some of them due to their potential environmental toxicity, for example that detected using the bench top Artemia salina assay [10].…”

Background: Biomphalaria glabrata is an intermediate host for the larvae of Schistosoma mansoni, which is distributed widely in the tropics. B. glabrata control is important to minimize the spread of schistosomiasis and natural compounds have been sought for use against this disease. The Artemia salina bench-top bioassay has been used to investigate the ecotoxicity of many natural compounds, and its results also correlate well with the in vitro cytotoxicity of natural compounds to tumor cells. Aims: To evaluate deleterious effects of the Opuntia ficus-indica lectin (OfiL) on B. glabrata, A. salina and human cancer cell lines. Methods: OfiL was isolated following a previously established protocol. The effects of OfiL on B. glabrata were investigated by determining survival of adults as well as development and hatching of embryos. The concentration required to kill 50% (LC50) of A. salina nauplii was determined. The cytotoxicity was determined using the human cell lines Hep-2 (human larynx epidermoid carcinoma), NCI-H292 (human lung mucoepidermoid carcinoma) and K562 (chronic myelocytic leukemia). Results: The development of most embryos (92.5–97.5%) treated with 1, 10 and 100 µg/mL of OfiL was found to be delayed, and dead (2.2–3.3%) and malformed (0.3–5.2%) embryos were also observed. OfiL did not kill B. glabrata adults, but a high percentage (30–45%) of the embryos generated by snails incubated with the lectin exhibited malformations. OfiL exhibited toxicity against A. salina (LC50: 61.02 µg/mL) but did not display cytotoxicity against the tumor cell lines evaluated. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study showed that OfiL can be a tool for schistosomiasis control that acts by impairing the viability of B. glabrata eggs and the fecundity of adult snails.
