Atividade moluscicida de princípios ativos de folhas de Lycopersicon esculentum (Solanales, Solanaceae) em Biomphalaria glabrata (Gastropoda, Planorbidae)

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Moluscicide activity of active principles in the leaves of Lycopersicon esculentum (Solanales, Solanaceae) on Biomphalaria glabrata (Gastropoda, Planorbidae). Aqueous and alcoholic extracts were obtained from crushed dried leaves of tomato plant (Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill.) c.v. Cherry. By the use of a methanolic extraction and alkaline precipitation, a product named crude steroidal glycoalkaloid (GEb), was obtained. The presence of tomatidine was characterized in this product. In laboratory, the… Show more

“…Piper aduncum was more active in adults than in embryos. A similar profile was observed with crude extracts and steroidal glycoalkaloid fraction of Lycopersicon esculentum, which showed high activity in adults and low effect in embryos (Leyton et al, 2005). Similar results were obtained in B. glabrata, B. alexandrina and Bulinus truncatus in a study of the molluscicidal effect of Phytolacca dodecandra (Lemma et al, 1972).…”

“…The low hatching rates are important for the control of snails because if the number of hatched snails is low, the lower would be the adult population with reproductive potential. The inactiveness of some extracts in snails eggs have been questioned by some authors (Pereira et al 1978;Souza et al 1992;Magalhães 2003;Leyton et al 2005). According to Lemma and Yau (1974), the low efficiency of molluscicides in eggs is probably due to their high molecular weights that hinder the passing of the molluscicides through the membrane that the egg has.…”

“…No sentido de adquirir produtos com alto teor moluscicida a partir de extratos vegetais, muitos autores se dedicaram à pesquisa com plantas regionais, sendo que muitas espécies ornamentais, tóxicas e medicinais foram avaliadas quanto à possível ação moluscicida (Mendes et , 1984;Leyton et al, 2005, Babili et al, 2006.…”

“…Embora muitos moluscicidas vegetais revelem altos índices de letalidade, ou em doses subletais, alterações nas taxas de determinadas substâncias vitais como proteínas, ácidos nucléicos e lipídios (Singh et al, 2004;Singh et al, 2005b), alguns extratos mesmo sendo eficazes para caramujos jovens e adultos, demonstraramse inativos para as desovas (Leyton et al, 2005). Para Lemma & Yau (1974), a baixa suscetibilidade das desovas aos moluscicidas deve-se, provavelmente, aos altos pesos moleculares dessas substâncias, o que impede a penetração das mesmas através da membrana gelatinosa.…”
