“…The ovicidal effect of thymol is probably related to the presence of hydroxyl radical in its chemical structure, considering that thymol acetate presented significantly lower results at the EHT. Thymol is a secondary metabolite of plants and several hypotheses have been made to explain the action of these substances on larval hatching, either preventing changes in the egg shell permeability through the binding to lipoproteins of the eggshell membranes (PERRY, 2002) or inhibiting the activation of egg hatching enzymes (MOLAN & FARAJ, 2010) or competitively binding to hatching factors in the eggshell and consequently altering the hatching process (DONCASTER & SHEPHERD, 1967).…”

Thymol is a monoterpene and acetylation form of this compound can reduce the toxicity and enhance its biological effects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of thymol and thymol acetate (TA) on egg, larva and adult Haemonchus contortus and the cuticular changes, acute toxicity in mice and the efficacy on sheep gastrointestinal nematodes. In vitro tests results were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and followed by comparison with Tukey test or Bonferroni. The efficacy of in vivo test was calculated by the BootStreet program. In the egg hatch test (EHT), thymol (0.5 mg/mL) and TA (4 mg/mL) inhibited larval hatching by 98% and 67.1%, respectively. Thymol and TA (8 mg/mL) inhibited 100% of larval development. Thymol and TA (800 µg/mL) reduced the motility of adult worms, by 100% and 83.4%, respectively. Thymol caused cuticular changes in adult worm teguments. In the acute toxicity test, the LD 50 of thymol and TA were 1,350.9 mg/kg and 4,144.4 mg/kg, respectively. Thymol and TA reduced sheep egg count per gram of faeces (epg) by 59.8% and 76.2%, respectively. In in vitro tests thymol presented better anthelmintic activity than TA. However TA was less toxic and in in vivo test efficacy was similar.Keywords: Acetylation, thymol, Haemonchus contortus, nematodes, sheep. ResumoTimol é um monoterpeno e a acetilação deste composto pode reduzir a toxicidade e potencializar os seus efeitos biológicos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do timol e acetato de timolila (AT) sobre ovos, larvas e adultos de Haemonchus contortus e suas alterações cuticulares, toxicidade aguda em camundongos e a eficácia sobre nematoides gastrintestinais de ovinos. Os resultados dos testes in vitro foram analisados por análise de variância (ANOVA) e comparados pelo testes de Tukey ou Bonferroni. A eficácia do teste de redução da contagem de ovos nas fezes (RCOF) foi calculada pelo programa BootStreet. No teste de inibição da eclosão de ovos (TEO), timol (0,5 mg/mL) e AT (4 mg/mL) inibiram a eclosão das larvas em 98% e 67,1%, respectivamente. Timol e AT (8 mg/mL) inibiram 100% do desenvolvimento larval. Timol e AT (800 µg/mL) reduziram a motilidade dos nematoides adultos, em 100% e 83,4%, respectivamente. O timol provocou alterações cuticulares nos nematoides adultos. No teste de toxicidade aguda, a DL50 do timol e AT foi de 1.350,9 mg/kg e 4.144,4 mg/kg, respectivamente. Timol e AT reduziram a contagem de ovos por gramas de fezes (OPG) dos ovinos em 59,8% e 76,2%, respectivamente. Nos testes in vitro timol apresentou atividade melhor anti-helmíntica do que AT. Entretanto, AT foi menos tóxico do que o timol e no teste in vivo apresentaram eficácia semelhante.

“…Promising results to keep eggs from hatching, as well as the development, motility and exsheathment of larvae, have been obtained after incubation of tannin-rich plant extracts with nematodes (BARRAU et al, 2005;BRUNET et al, 2007;FARAJ, 2010). Reduction of nematode egg excretion and worm burden have been also recorded in goats and sheep fed with tanniferous plants (MARLEY et al, 2003;LANGE et al, 2006;HECKENDORN et al, 2007;MINHO et al, 2008MINHO et al, , 2010.…”

Tanniferous plants represent a promising alternative for controlling gastrointestinal nematodes of small ruminants. This experiment evaluated the effects of extracts from the leaf and stem of Anadenanthera colubrina, Leucaena leucocephala and Mimosa tenuiflora on larval exsheathment of Haemonchus contortus in vitro and verified the role of tannins in this process. Third-stage larvae of H. contortus were incubated with extracts for 3 hours and were exposed to sodium hypochlorite solution. The extracts were tested at 300 µg.mL -1 and accompanied by controls: phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (PVPP). The larval exsheathment was evaluated for 60 minutes, and the results were subjected to the Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.05). The six extracts blocked larval exsheathment. After PVPP addition, a tannin inhibitor, the exsheathment percentage was similar to the PBS (p > 0.05), except for L. leucocephala and M. tenuiflora leaf extracts. However, pre-incubation with PVPP of these two extracts significantly changed larval exsheathment when compared to the non-treated extracts (p < 0.05). These results suggest that A. colubrina, L. leucocephala and M. tenuiflora could be useful in gastrointestinal nematode control and that tannins are probably the main compounds involved in the observed effects. However, in vivo and toxicological studies should be conducted.Keywords: In vitro, tannins, polyvinyl polypyrrolidone, helminth control, phytotherapics.

Larvas de terceiro estádio de H. contortus foram incubadas com 300 µg.mL -1 de extrato por 3 horas e expostas a uma solução de hipoclorito de sódio. O ensaio foi acompanhado por controles: solução salina tamponada com fosfato (PBS) e polivinilpolipirrolidona (PVPP). O desembainhamento larvar foi avaliado durante 60 minutos e os resultados submetidos ao teste Kruskal-Wallis (p < 0,05). Os seis extratos bloquearam o desembainhamento larvar. Após adição de PVPP, um inibidor de taninos, o percentual de desembainhamento foi similar ao PBS (p > 0,05), exceto nos extratos das folhas de L. leucocephala e M. tenuiflora. Entretanto, a pré-incubação desses dois extratos com PVPP alterou significativamente o desembainhamento quando comparado com extratos não-tratados (p < 0,05). Esses resultados sugerem que A. colubrina, L. leucocephala e M. tenuiflora podem ser úteis no controle de nematóides gastrintestinais e que os taninos são provavelmente os principais compostos envolvidos nos efeitos. Contudo, estudos toxicológicos e in vivo são necessários.Palavras-chave: In vitro, taninos, polivinilpolipirrolidona, controle de helmintos, fitoterápicos.

“…The incubation of eggs and larvae with plant extracts rich in tannins has produced positive results with regard to egg eclosion, and the mobility and exsheathment of larvae (BARRAU et al, 2005;BRUNET et al, 2007;FARAJ, 2010;OLIVEIRA et al, 2011a). A decrease in the parasitic load and number of eggs eliminated has also been described in sheep and goats when using tanniniferous plants (LANGE et al, 2006;HECKENDORN et al, 2007;MINHO et al, 2010;PARRA et al, 2011).…”

Infestations of gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes in sheep result in significant costs to farmers. These infestations are controlled using synthetic anthelmintic treatments, which can result in the development of anthelmintic resistance in nematodes. The use of plants rich in condensed tannins (CTs) is a promising alternative for controlling infestations of harmful parasites in sheep, and could allow reduction of the chemical products used. This study investigated the in vitro effect of CTs from Acacia mearnsii extract (AE) on egg hatching and motility of third-stage larvae. Egg-hatching rate was measured after incubation with extracts for 48 h at 27 °C. The egg hatch test was performed with dilutions of 0. 09, 0.19, 0.39, 0.78, 1.56, 3.12, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg mL -1 . Distilled water was used as the negative control. The corresponding egg hatching inhibition percentages were 22.3, 32.3, 39.2, 49.1, 56.7, 59.0, 62.3, 77.3, 92.7, 98.3, and 100%. The concentration required to inhibit egg hatching in 50% of eggs (LC 50 ) was 2.85 mg mL -1 . The inhibition achieved with the negative control was 7.06%. A larval migration inhibition test was carried out after incubation with the extracts for 48 h at 27 o C, with AE and distilled water used in dilutions of 3.12, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg mL -1 . The corresponding percentages of migration inhibition were 16.5, 37.0, 56.3, 79.4, 91.8, and 97.1%. The concentration required to inhibit migration of 50% of larvae (LC 50 ) was 12.45 mg mL -1 . The inhibition achieved with the negative control was 8.53%. The in vitro ovicidal and larvicidal activity of CTs from AE indicate the anthelmintic effect of AE, suggesting the potential of CT extracts to be used as alternatives for controlling gastrointestinal nematode infestations in small ruminants.

O controle é realizado basicamente através da administração de anti-helmínticos sintéticos o que estimula a seleção de parasitas resistentes. O uso de plantas ricas em taninos condensados (TC) apresenta-se como uma alternativa promissora no controle de helmintos em ovinos, reduzindo o uso de produtos químicos. Esse estudo avaliou o efeito in vitro dos TC provenientes da acácia (Acacia mearnsii) sobre a eclosão de ovos e a motilidade de larvas de terceiro estágio de nematódeos gastrintestinais de ovinos. A taxa de eclosão foi avaliada após incubação com o extrato por um período de 48 h a 27 o C. A eclodibilidade foi avaliada nas concentrações de 0,09; 0,19; 0,39; 0,78; 1,56; 3,12; 6,25; 12,5; 25; 50 e 100 mg mL -1 . No controle negativo utilizou-se água destilada. As inibições das eclosões foram 22,3; 32,3; 39,3; 49,1; 56,7; 59; 62,3; 77,3; 92,7; 98,3 . A ação ovicida e larvicida in vitro do tanino condensado do extrato de Acacia mearnsii encontrada no presente trabalho indica uma ação anti-helmíntica, apresentando potencial para sua apli...
