“…The relaxation and recovery effects of thymol on juvenile apple snails before death seemed similar to the effects reported for eugenol and essential oils of leaves from O. Majorana and O. americanum on juvenile apple snails from Brazil (Bianchini et al, 2017). Bianchini et al (2017) suggest that eugenol and the essential oil of O. americanum and O. majorana promoted muscle relaxation in P. canaliculata.…”

Pomacea canaliculata (golden apple snail) is one of the most destructive and invasive rice pests in Southeast Asia and Thailand. This work focused on the molluscicidal efficiency of thymol, eucalyptol, and linalool against P. canaliculata under laboratory conditions. All essential oils made the snail motionless, closed its operculum shell, turned the soft body at the spire reddish and typically caused death within 24 hr. The toxicity levels of P. canaliculata after being exposed to the three essential oil compounds were significantly (p < 0.05) different at both 24 hr and 48 hr, with thymol being the most effective control (dose required for 50% mortality after 24 hr = 20.7 mg/L). Snails treated with thymol seemed to relax before death, with some typically recovering within 48 hr. The percentage of egg hatching in the treatment group (28.89-48.84%) was significantly (p < 0.005) reduced compared to the control (87-88%), with thymol being the most effective inhibitor (percentage of egg hatching = 28.89%). Glutathione-s-transferase (GST) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities were reduced after snails were exposed to all three compounds (p < 0.05; correlation factor approximately1.25-1.50-fold and 1.64-2.14-fold for GST and AChE, respectively). However, carboxylesterase reduced only linalool and thymol. The findings indicated that all three essential oil compounds were viable alternatives to chemicals for controlling P. canaliculata.

“…(Singh et al, 2010) explained that the eggshell of P. canaliculata is mainly composed of calcium carbonate and attached organic matter. (Bianchini et al, 2017) demonstrated that many essential oils directly damage the P. canaliculata shell.…”

Endopleura uchi (Huber) Cuatrec. is a tree found in the Brazilian Amazon, whose barks are used in folk medicine as an alternative treatment for inflammatory-related diseases. This review, performed using current available international scientific literature, aimed to survey biological activities reported from E. uchi, and describes its phytochemistry. In folk medicine, the barks are used to treat a range of conditions such as intestinal infections, inflammations, diabetes, arthritis, among others; the fruits have some unique nutritional benefits. Phytochemical studies with this plant species indicate the presence of tannins, saponins, and mainly bergenin (a coumarin) in the barks. Among biological activities reported using extracts from the barks are: Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and butylcholinesterase, bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity, antidiabetic activity through inhibition of αglucosidase, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Bergenin, the most abundant molecule, has antimicrobial activity mainly against yeasts and anti-inflammatory activity apparently through mitogenactivated protein kinases (MAPK) and muclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) inhibition; its acetylated derivative acetylbergenin has analgesic and more prominent anti-inflammatory activity.
