Toxicidade de Substâncias Isoladas de Simarouba versicolor St. Hil. (Simaroubaceae) para Formigas Cortadeiras Atta sexdens L. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) e para o seu Fungo Simbionte Leucoagaricus gongylophorus (Singer) Möller

Abstract: Toxicidade de Substâncias Isoladas de Simarouba versicolor St. Hil. (Simaroubaceae) para Formigas Cortadeiras Atta sexdens L. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) e para o seu Fungo Simbionte Leucoagaricus gongylophorus (Singer) Möller RESUMO -O controle de formigas cortadeiras através da aplicação de inseticidas sintéticos pode ocasionar efeitos adversos ao meio ambiente, às populações de insetos não-alvo e à saúde do homem. Os produtos de origem vegetal, tóxicos aos insetos, representam uma alternativa viável de contro… Show more

“…The quassinoids, the most active substances used in traditional medicine, is the main chemical components of S. amara and present inhibitory effect (Fiaschetti et al, 2011). Simarouba versicolor was toxic to cutting-ants at concentrations of 2.0, 1.6 and 0.3 mg.mL 1 (Peñaflor et al, 2009). Species of Casearia genus present therapeutic properties and active substances as diterpenes, called casearins (Bento et al, 2013).…”

“…The Simaroubaceae family is composed of 32 genera, constituting of approximately 250 species of shrubs and trees, and some Simarouba species have been reported to possess insecticidal and repellent activity. For example, S. amara Aubl., used as a repellent against larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) (Diptera: Culicidae) [36], and S. versicolor showed clear activity against the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa, Forel, 1908 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), and antifungal activity against the symbiotic fungi Leucoagaricus gongylophorus (Möller) Singer (Agaricales, Agaricaceae) and Rhodnius milesi (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) [37][38][39]. Phytochemical studies on major compounds from S. versicolor A. St-Hill, including quassinoids, triterpenoids, alkaloids, steroids, and coumarins, have mainly concentrated on stem, branches, fruits, and bark [39,40].…”

St-Hill, including quassinoids, triterpenoids, alkaloids, steroids, and coumarins, have mainly concentrated on stem, branches, fruits, and bark [39,40]. Quassinoid compounds are almost exclusive to Simaroubaceae, and are considered taxonomic markers of the group [41].…”
