Abstract:Recent studies focusing on identifying the biological agents of Catharsius molossus have led to the identification of three new N-acetyldopamine dimers molossusamide A-C (1−3) and two known compounds 4 and 5. The structures of the new compounds were identified by comprehensive spectroscopic evidences. Compound 4 was found to have inhibitory effects towards COX-1 and COX-2.
“…Chemical screening of some herbs and insects have confirmed the presence of various types of bioactive substances . Catharsius molossus , commonly referred to as ‘dung beetles,’ have been used in traditional medicine for centuries in China . These insects can be propagated at large scale, and therefore, the EECM is readily available and economical.…”

“…We show that the EECM feeding method significantly increases triterpene acid production. The C. molossus insect is one of the most widespread species on the Earth . Attacks on basidiomycetes fungi (mushroom) from insects is widespread in natural habitats, invariably leading to interactions between the insects and mushrooms .…”

“…27,28 Catharsius molossus, commonly referred to as 'dung beetles,' have been used in traditional medicine for centuries in China. 29 These insects can be propagated at large scale, and therefore, the EECM is readily available and economical. Our previous work showed that the addition of the EECM at the start of shake flask culture of G. lucidum markedly enhanced the total triterpene production.…”

“…Meskipun tempat yang tertutup naungan disukai, kumbang ini juga mampu beradaptasi padanaungan terbuka. Menurut Ma et al (2015); Lu et al (2015) Catharsius molossus adalah spesies yang berasal dari genus Catharsius, memiliki peran penting di ekosistem dan berpotensi menjadi bahan obat (Gambar 3).…”
Kelimpahan dan kelimpahan relatif dung beetle berperan penting sebagai bioindikator kerusakan hutan dan habitat. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis kelimpahan spesies dan kelimpahan relatif spesies dung beetle di Hutan Pendidikan Konservasi Terpadu Universitas Lampung Blok Lindung, Tahura Wan Abdul Rachman pada Desember 2018-Februari 2019. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode trap, kemudian data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan indeks kelimpahan dan indeks kelimpahan relatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelimpahan spesies dung beetle termasuk sedang dengan nilai 3,53 yang menggambarkan keadaan Hutan Pendidikan Tahura Wan Abdul Rachman masih tergolong baik. Ada empat jenis dung beetle yang ditemukan yaitu Catharsius molossus, Onthophagus sp, Aphodius marginellus dan Oryctes rinocheros. Kelimpahan relatif seluruhnya termasuk tinggi dengan nilai di atas 20% hal ini karena jumlah setiap jenis dung beetle yang ditemukan hampir sama. Pengelola sebaiknya menjaga kelestarian hutan dengan mencegah terjadinya penebangan liar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
