“…pipiens under laboratory conditions. Finally, Kharoubi et al (2021), according to their experiments which took place under the same conditions as ours, they indicated that the essential oil of M. x piperita has ovicidal properties on Cx. pipiens with an egg hatch percentage of 53.67% and 8.13% at LC 25 and LC 50 , respectively.…”

“…A regression analysis showed a significant correlation between the concentration of the plant extract and the larval mortality. According to the work of Kharoubi et al (2021) which were carried out under the same experimental conditions and using the same biological material, Mentha x piperita essential oils at concentration series of 100,150,200,300,400 and 500 ppm applied directly to fourth instar Cx. pipiens larvae resulted in mortality rates of up to 95.91% after 72 hours of treatment.…”

Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) is a botanical species with focal point of global research for its biological properties. The Melia azedarach tree is distinguished by its rapid growth, its adaptation to different temperate zones, as well as its insecticidal properties. All this made us think of exploiting it in biological control against different stages of mosquitoes. To this end, we aim, through the present work, to evaluate the effectiveness of Melia azedarach extracts against Culex pipiens mosquito. More specifically, our study focuses on determining the chemical composition of Melia almond oil, as well as the larvicidal, ovicidal and repellent activities on Culex pipiens L. mosquito as well as the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST). Almond oil was extracted by a Soxhlet and subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The yield was found to be 35.17%. The chemical composition revealed the presence of various phytoconstituents. A total of 7 compounds were identified, the main ones being 9,11-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, (E,E)-(79.32%), 9-octadecenoic acid (Z)-, methyl ester (13.24%), hexadecanoic acid and methyl ester (3.69%). The larvicidal bioassays were performed according to the protocol recommended by the World Health Organization with concentrations varying from 20 to 80 mg/L depending on the exposure time (24, 48 and 72 hours). The almond oil exhibited remarkable larvicidal activity against fourth instar larvae and the lethal concentrations were determined (LC 25 = 23.70 mg/L, LC 50 =35.49 mg/L, LC 90 =79.61 mg/L). The results also showed that the oil caused an ovicidal activity with a significant effect on egg hatch. The recorded hatching percentages were respectively 88.79% and 72.40% for the LC 25 and LC 50 , and this compared to the control series. Moreover, this oil exhibited significant repellency against adult mosquitoes. Furthermore, the enzymatic measurements performed on LC 50 and LC 90 treated larvae revealed a neurotoxic activity and a stimulation of the detoxification system as evidenced, respectively, by an inhibition of AChE and induction in GST activity. Overall, our data proved that Melia azedarach almond oil could be considered as a potent biorational alternative to synthetic insecticides for mosquito control.

“…The results of this study show that the essential oil was characterized by l-menthone, pulegone, and 1,8-cineole; this result is in good agreement with previous studies, with a slightly different profile [31,32], mainly the lower amount of germacrene D, (E)-caryophyllene, limonene, and p-cymene. These slight variations of the essential oil composition might be due to genotype-environment interactions as well as the phonological stage of the studied species, which causes plants to produce some chemical biomolecules as an adaptive response to environmental changes [33]. For the nonpolar extracts, the results showed the presence of the following major constituents: linolenic acid, l-menthone, and pulegone in petroleum ether extract; imidazoquinoline, 17-N-acetyl-oroidine, and l-menthone in the chloroform extract; and linolenic acid, l-menthone, and neicosane in the hexane extract.…”

The anticholinesterase and antioxidant activities with chemical composition and molecular docking of essential oil and nonpolar extracts of Mentha piperita were evaluated using enzymatic and chemical methods. Molecular docking tools were used to explain the interaction of the major chemical constituents with the enzymes. GC/MS analyses revealed that the main compounds in M. piperita essential oil were l-menthone (43.601%) followed by pulegone (21.610%), linolenic acid (25.628%), and l-menthone (10.957%), representing the major compounds of the petroleum ether extract. Imidazoquinoline (7.767%) and 17-N-acetyl-oroidine (5.363%) were the major constituents of the chloroform extract. Linolenic acid (19.397%) and l-menthone (6.336%) were the most abundant compounds in the hexane extract. The M. piperita essential oil and nonpolar extracts showed moderate antioxidant activity. The essential oil showed the most promising anticholinesterase activity with IC50 = 10.66 ± 0.12 µg/mL and IC50 = 16.33 ± 0.03 µg/mL against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), respectively, close to galantamine in AChE and more active in BChE, followed by the interesting activity in the petroleum ether extract with IC50 = 23.42 ± 3.06 µg/mL in AChE and IC50 = 62.00 ± 3.22 µg/mL in BChE. The docking experiments showed that among the seven major identified compounds, N-acetyl-17-oroidine showed the highest binding score (63.01 in AChE and 63.68 in BChE). This compound was found to bind the catalytic and peripheral sites, resulting in more potent inhibitory activity than galantamine, which only binds to the catalytic site. These findings suggested the possible use of M. piperita essential oil and nonpolar extracts as a potential source of alternative natural anti-Alzheimer compounds.

“…In addition, Guenez et al (2018) found that the Mentha pulegium essential oil exhibits a larvicidal activity against the same mosquito and Aedes caspius. Kharoubi et al (2020Kharoubi et al ( , 2021 In the other study of Bouguerra et al (2018), the larvicidal activity of Thymus vulgaris against C. pipiens have been examined and the lethal concentrations showed a variations according to treatment periods: 24, 48 and 72h (LC 50 : 72.04; 68.61 and 62.12 ppm and LC 90 : 207.01; 190.54 and 169.82 ppm). Traboulsi et al (2002) reported the insecticidal activity of three medicinal plants harvested in Lebanon (Myrtus communis, Lavandula stoechas and Mentha microphylla) against C. pipiens molestus; the LC 50 values were between 16 and 89 mg/L.…”

Among strategies for decreasing diseases, the use of larvicidal plant extracts against mosquito larvae gain an important place in vector control. The aim of the present study was to reveal the insecticidal effectiveness of an endemic medicinal plant on Mosquito-Borne Diseases. The chemical composition of the dried aerial part from Origanum floribundum Essential oil, obtained by hydrodistillation, was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) system. The potential larvicidal activity of this extract as bioinsecticide was assessed against Culex pipiens. Results showed many functional groups such as phenols and alcohols, besides, the chemical composition by GC-MS identified thymol (86.9%) and p-Cymene (5.1%) as major components. A significant larvicidal effect against the target mosquito species was noted, with values of LC 50 at 21.19 mg/l and LC 90 at 68.37 mg/l. The results obtained showed that the essential oil of Origanum floribundum with chemotype thymol possess a potent larvicidal activity and could be considered as an eco-friendly alternative for vector control.
