“…Avermectin generally works by preventing the transmission of electrical impulses in the muscles and nerves of invertebrates by amplifying the glutamate effects on the invertebrates-specific gated chloride channel [50,51]. This allows more chloride ions to enter the cells, causing hyperpolarization and culminating in paralysis of the invertebrate neuromuscular systems.…”

Avermectins are a group of drugs that occurs naturally as a product of fermenting Streptomyces avermitilis, an actinomycetes, isolated from the soil. Eight different structures, including ivermectin, abamectin, doramectin, eprinomectin, moxidectin, and selamectin, were isolated and divided into four major components (A1a, A2a, B1a and B2a) and four minor components (A1b, A2b, B1b, and B2b). Avermectins are generally used as a pesticide for the treatment of pests and parasitic worms as a result of their anthelmintic and insecticidal properties. Additionally, they possess anticancer, anti-diabetic, antiviral, antifungal, and are used for treatment of several metabolic disorders. Avermectin generally works by preventing the transmission of electrical impulse in the muscle and nerves of invertebrates, by amplifying the glutamate effects on the invertebrates-specific gated chloride channel. Avermectin has unwanted effects or reactions, especially when administered indiscriminately, which include respiratory failure, hypotension, and coma. The current review examines the mechanism of actions, biosynthesis, safety, pharmacokinetics, biological toxicity and activities of avermectins.

“…It is opined that despite the fact that a number of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and nematodes) are either commercially available or in their developmental stages for implementation as biopesticides, the host killing and pathogenicity is attained by the metabolites such organisms either secrete or produce. It is therefore imperative that the selection of any microbial strain for pesticidal use is a function of such strain to produce metabolites that have pesticidal action against a target pest ( Subbanna et al., 2020 ).…”

The use of biopesticides in pest management and pre-harvest disease and crop pest control have been advocated in recent years. This is because of their eco-friendliness and suitability for pest control in the agricultural industry. The objective of this study was to determine the antibacterial and pesticidal potential against sugar ant of metabolites produced by Bacillus species. The species were B. proteolyticus, B. thuringensis, B. cereus and B. subtilis. Metabolite production was carried out in batch experimental setup. The inoculated flasks were incubated in an incubator shaker for 120 h at temperature of 37 °C ± 2 °C. Metabolite extraction was carried out using the acid precipitation method. The crude metabolites were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). Antibacterial activity of the metabolites was carried out both in agar and broth media while pesticidal potential was carried out using the diet-fed approach. All the metabolites showed antibacterial activity against the test pathogens used for investigation. This was irrespective of whether they were used singly or in combination. Generally, the rate of kill of the sugar ants by the respective metabolites was directly proportional to metabolite concentration in the diet. In the control diet setup with no added metabolite, no mortality was recorded throughout the period of incubation. The study findings gave an indication of the potential of these metabolites for possible control of phytopathogens.

Insecticides - Advances in Insect Control and Sustainable Pest Management

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, the irrational application of chemical insecticides has caused the appearance of pest insect populations that are resistant to the active principles of commercial insecticides. In addition, these chemical compounds cause significant damage to the environment and to the people who apply them. The use of secondary metabolites produced by entomopathogenic microorganisms is a viable alternative that could mitigate the damage caused by chemical insecticides. Actually, the secondary metabolites of entomopathogens microorganisms have been studied; however, there are few reports on their massive production and their direct application as biological control agents. The aim of this book chapter is to describe, in a very general way, some of the secondary metabolites produced by entomopathogenic microorganisms, their potential application as bioinsecticides as well as their mass production.
