Abstract: Ethanol, methanol and water extracts representing mostly native plant species found in the Amazon region were prepared, respectively, by maceration, continuous liquid-solid extraction and infusion, followed by evaporation and freeze-drying. The freeze-dried extracts were tested for lethality toward Aedes aegypti larvae at test concentrations of 500 µg / mL. In general, methanol extracts exhibited the greatest larvicidal activity. The following 7 methanol extracts of (the parts of) the indicated plant species w… Show more

“…aegypti of extracts from leaves, stems, and roots of leguminous species prepared with organic solvents (Pohlit et al 2004, Luna et al 2005, Omena et al 2007). Nevertheless, little attention has been addressed to the potential of seeds as sources of secondary compounds with larvicidal properties (Jang et al 2002, Luna et al 2005.…”

“…One specific insecticidal phenylpropanoid is dimethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxy-allylbenzene (dillapiol) (Gottlieb et al, 1981). Extracts from Piper aduncum, known in Brazil as pimenta longa (long pepper), are larvicidal (Bernard et al, 1995;Pohlit et al, 2004).…”
