“…Entre las familias botánicas con potencial insecticida para el control de A. aegypti se encuentra la familia Asteraceae (Bessada et al 2015, Sukhthankar et al 2014, Tennyson et al 2015. Esta familia constituye una de las más grandes de plantas vasculares, comparable en complejidad y número de especies (25.000 aproximadamente) con las orquídeas (Bessada et al 2015, Duarte et al 2015.…”

Mosquitoes are unquestionably the most medic arthropod vectors of disease. Culex pipiens, usually defined as a common house mosquito, is a well-known carrier of several virus diseases. Crude ethanol extracts of different organs of Agratum houstonianum are tested with Culex pipiens Linnaeus (Diptera: Culicidae) to determine their larvicidal, antifeedant, and repellency effects. Alongside biochemical analysis, the activity of the AChE, ATPase, CarE, and CYP-450 is detected in the total hemolymph of the C. pipiens larvae to examine the enzymatic action on the way to explain their neurotoxic effect and mode of action. Through HPLC and GC–MS analysis of the phytochemical profile of A. houstonianum aerial parts is identified. The larvicidal activity of aerial parts; flower (AF), leaf (AL), and stem (AS) of A. houstonianum extracts are evaluated against the 3rd instar larvae of C. pipiens at 24-, 48- and 72-post-treatment. A. houstonianium AF, AL, and AS extracts influenced the mortality of larvae with LC50 values 259.79, 266.85, and 306.86 ppm, respectively after 24 h of application. The potency of AF and AL extracts was 1.69- and 1.25-folds than that of AS extract, respectively. A high repellency percentage was obtained by AF extract 89.10% at a dose of 3.60 mg/cm2. A. houstonianium AF prevailed inhibition on acetylcholinesterase and decrease in carboxylesterase activity. Moreover, a significant increase in the ATPase levels and a decrease in cytochrome P-450 monooxegenase activity (− 36.60%) are detected. HPLC analysis prevailed chlorogenic and rosmarinic acid as the major phenolic acids in AL and AF, respectively. GC–MS analysis of A. houstonianum results in the identification of phytol as the major makeup. Precocene I and II were detected in AF. Linoleic, linolenic, and oleic acid were detected in comparable amounts in the studied organs. Overall, results suggest that the A. houstonianum flower extract (AF) exhibits significant repellent, antifeedant, and larvicidal activities.

“…Insecticidal properties (Bowers et al, 1976;Ravindran, Samuel, Alex, & William, 2012) and insecticidal compounds (Renuga & Sahayaraj, 2009) including precocenes were reported in this plant (Kumar, 2014). The crude extract of A. houstonianum had shown the mosquitocidal properties (Boussaada et al, 2008;Sakthivadivel & Daniel, 2008;Pavela, 2009;Senthilkumar, Varma, & Gurusubramanian, 2009;Elango et al, 2010) including adulticidal (Ravindran et al, 2012), larvicidal (Tennyson, Ravindran, Eapen, & William, 2015a), ovicidal (Tennyson, Ravindran, Eapen, & William, 2015b); the extract also showed repellent (Tennyson, Ravindran, Eapen, & William, 2012a) and oviposition deterrent activities (Tennyson, Ravindran, Eapen, & William, 2012b). The phytochemical composition of A. houstonianum showed the presence of chromenes, precocene I and II, which have been described for their anti-JH activity (Haunerland & Bowers, 1985;Binder, Bowers, & Evans, 1991;Lu et al, 2014).…”

In the present work, Ageratum houstonianum leaf acetone extract was tested for the larvicidal and growth inhibitory activity against the third instar larvae of the Dengue vector, Aedes aegypti. The extract showed larvicidal activity with LC50 and LC90 values of 204.79 and 277.57 mg/L, respectively. The larval mortality was increased during subsequent days of treatment. The extract adversely affected larval development, causing a significant reduction in both the formation of fourth instar larvae and pupae. Also, the extract increased the larval duration of Ae. aegypti third instar larvae indicating growth inhibitory activities of the extract. The results showed dose-dependent effects of the A. houstonianum leaf acetone extract; treatment at higher concentrations inhibited the growth and reduced the viability. This resulted in a decrease in the larval growth index. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of precocene I and precocene II along with many other components which affect the survival and growth of the insects adversely. This explores the potential of A. houstonianum in the management of Ae. aegypti.
