“…There are numerous mechanisms of action described for quinones in the literature [ 29 ]. More specifically, in insects, juglone—a quinone derivative—showed competitive inhibition with both glutathione S -transferase and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene [ 30 ], while emodin exerts antifeedant activity and post-ingestive damage in the midgut [ 31 ]. Finally, mitochondrial complex III inhibition by quinones was described [ 32 ].…”

Residual Larvicidal Activity of Quinones against Aedes aegypti

et al. 2020

The number of documented dengue cases has increased dramatically in recent years due to transmission through the Aedes aegypti mosquito bite. Vector control remains the most effective measure to protect against this and other arboviral diseases including Zika, chikungunya and (urban) yellow fever, with an established vaccine only available for yellow fever. Although the quinone class shows potential as leading compounds for larvicide development, limited information restricts the development of optimized structures and/or formulations. Thus, in this contribution we investigated the larvicidal and pupicidal activity of three quinone compounds isolated from a Connarus suberosus root wood ethyl acetate extract together with 28 quinones from other sources. Eight quinones demonstrated larvicidal activity, of which tectoquinone (4) proved to be the most active (LC50 1.1 µg/mL). The essential residual effect parameter of four of these quinones was evaluated in laboratory trials, with tectoquinone (4) and 2-ethylanthraquinone (7) presenting the most prolonged activity. In small-scale field residual tests, tectoquinone (4) caused 100% larvae mortality over 5 days, supporting its selection for formulation trials to develop a prototype larvicide to control Ae. aegypti.

“…One of the pest control uses of anthraquinone is to protect new crops from wild birds, as their attacks can begin right after the seeds were planted .The attacks from seed predator birds can damage seeds whether or not the sapling emerged by being dug out of the soil or was consumed by its coat, hypocotyl and cotyledon (DeLiberto and Werner, 2016). To protect the seeds from seed predator birds, repellents were used without any negative effects on the plant fertilization and anthraquinone was shown to effectively prevent seed predator birds from predating on the protected seeds in the laboratory.…”

This research aims to test the effects of cassia leaf extract on the eating behavior of pigeons for application as a natural repellent. Senna siamea (Cassia) leaves were oven-dried and blended into fine pieces and processed by the simplest extraction method (maceration) with ethyl alcohol 70% solution and were then extracted with hot continuous extraction (Soxhlet extraction) with ethyl alcohol 70% solution. Cereal grain seeds were prepared and soaked in the extracts of the 2 methods in 1.5%, 3.0% and 4.5% concentrations for 24 h. Twenty-four pigeons were prepared with one cage per pigeon. Cereal grains were weighed to 20 grams, which was fed to the pigeons for 24 h and the beginning weight of the cereal grains and the weight of the leftovers were recorded. The food consumption was analyzed to determine the differences among the averages of each method with one-way ANOVA. The findings showed that the averages of the bird food intake based on the maceration method were not different with a statistical significance (p>0.05), while the averages of the bird food intake based on Soxhlet extraction were different with a statistical significance (p<0.05). The bird food processed by the Soxhlet extraction method had a lower average consumption than that of the maceration method.

Effects of moisture and temperature on pesticide stability in corn flour

et al. 2020

Corn flour has been stored at different moisture content (without and with 10 % water) and temperatures (-20, 4 and 25 °C). A modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method was applied to determine the degradation rate of five common pesticides (imidacloprid, carbendazim, triadimefon, acetochlor and metolachlor) during the stored process using high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector and gas chromatography with an electron capture detector. The results showed that there was almost no degradation on five pesticides at-20 °C in corn flour whether with or without water, and the half-life was 69.3-693.2 days. The degradation rate ranged from 1.7 to 7.8 % after ten days of application. Under 25 °C and 10 % moisture content, the half-life was sharply reduced to 5.8-14.4 days. Under this condition, the degradation rate ranged from 40.6 to 68.4 % after ten days of application, and the sequence from high to low of the five pesticides. The degradation rates were as follows: carbendazim, imidacloprid, acetochlor, metolachlor and triadimefon. Therefore, low temperature and drying were beneficial to the storage of corn flour, but unfavorable to the degradation of pesticides in corn flour.
