“…The cowpea seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), a cosmopolitan pest of legume seeds both in stores and in the field, is among the most serious pests in stored product in tropical countries (Haddi et al, 2018;Lopes et al, 2018;Massango et al, 2017) being able to cause losses up to 100% of stored cowpea beans within few months (Kang et al, 2013;Melo et al, 2015). The control of this insect pest, when accomplished, is mainly achieved by the application of synthetic molecules such as phosphine and pyrethroid insecticides (Freitas et al, 2016), with serious risks of selecting resistant populations as well as increased hazard to human health and environment (Gbaye et al, 2016;Iturralde-García et al, 2016).…”

The protection of stored products from insect damages, when accomplished, is mostly relying on the application of synthetic insecticides with serious health and environmental issues in addition to risks of selection of resistant insect populations associated with such practice. The use of plants derived compounds have been presented as sound strategy for sustainable insect pest management. Eugenol is an aromatic component of natural occurrence in essential oils of numerous plants. known for its repellent and insecticidal bioactivities against different insect species. Here, we investigated the fumigant application of eugenol to control the cowpea weevil Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) by assessing toxicity, effects on biological development (including emergence inhibition) and repellency to these weevil. Besides a good fumigant insecticidal activity, eugenol exposure resulted in a dose-dependent decrease of the growth rate of C. maculatus associated with a steady reduction in bean mass losses. Additionally, inhibition of offspring was upper 50% when adults were exposed to lethal and sublethal concentrations. significant inhibition of the offspring emergence was achieved after the exposure of parental adults to lethal and sublethal doses of eugenol. Furthermore, adult weevils were repelled away from beans exposed to high dose (LD99) of eugenol in contrast with their attraction to the beans treated with lower dose (LD50). Our findings suggest that eugenol has potential as control tool to be used in sustainable management startegies of C. maculatus.

Ethnopharmacological relevance The subtribe Hyptidinae contains approximately 400 accepted species distributed in 19 genera ( Hyptis , Eriope , Condea , Cantinoa , Mesosphaerum , Cyanocephalus , Hypenia , Hyptidendron , Oocephalus , Medusantha , Gymneia , Marsypianthes , Leptohyptis , Martianthus , Asterohyptis , Eplingiella , Physominthe , Eriopidion and Rhaphiodon ). This is the Lamiaceae clade with the largest number of species in Brazil and high rates of endemism. Some species have been used in different parts of the world mainly as insecticides/pest repellents, wound healing and pain-relief agents, as well as for the treatment of respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. Aim of the review This review aims to discuss the current status concerning the taxonomy, ethnobotanical uses, phytochemistry and biological properties of species which compose the subtribe Hyptidinae. Materials and methods The available information was collected from scientific databases (ScienceDirect, Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, ChemSpider, SciFinder ACS Publications, Wiley Online Library), as well as other literature sources (e.g. books, theses). Results The phytochemical investigations of plants of this subtribe have led to the identification of almost 300 chemical constituents of different classes such as diterpenes, triterpenes, lignans, α -pyrones, flavonoids, phenolic acids and monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, as components of essential oils. Extracts, essential oils and isolated compounds showed a series of biological activities such as insecticide/repellent, antimicrobial and antinociceptive, justifying some of the popular uses of the plants. In addition, a very relevant fact is that several species produce podophyllotoxin and related lignans. Conclusion Several species of Hyptidinae are used in folk medicine for treating many diseases but only a small fraction of the species has been explored and most of the traditional uses have not been validated by current investigations. In addition, the species of the subtribe appear to be very promising as alternative sources of podophyllotoxin-like lignans which are the lead compounds for the semi-synthesis of teniposide and etoposide, important antineoplastic agents. Thus, there is a wide-open door for future studies, both to support the popular uses of the plants and to find new biologically active compoun...

A agricultura está cada vez mais tecnificada, utilizando abundantemente os recursos naturais de acordo com suas metas produtivas e gerando, assim, desequilíbrio nos ciclos naturais. Em sua maior parte, essa produção é realizada por meio da utilização de sementes, que são sensíveis a diversos fatores, entre estes injúrias provocadas por insetos-praga. Para o controle dessas pragas em sementes, diversas metodologias alternativas de tratamento podem ser empregadas: metabólitos secundários vegetais, organismos biocontroladores, indutores de resistência, controle físico e manejo integrado. Logo, estudos na área de tratamento alternativo de sementes é uma das bases para a fomentação de uma agricultura sustentável, em que muitas são as possibilidades de pesquisa e trabalho. ABSTRACT: Currently, agriculture is becoming more technological, using abundant natural resources according to its productive goals and thus generating imbalance in the natural cycles. This production, is mostly carried out through the use of seeds, that are sensitive to several factors such as injuries caused by pest insects. For the control of these pests in seeds, several alternative treatment methodologies may be employed: secondary metabolites vegetables, biocontrol organisms, resistance inducers, physical control and integrated management. Studies in the area of alternative treatments is one of the bases for the fomentation of a sustainable agriculture, in which many are the possibilities of research and work.
