“…The essential oil from the fruit of Z. limonella was effective against fourth instar larvae of A. aegypti in 24 h with the lethal concentration of 50 % and 95 % mortality (LC 50 and LC 95 ) values were 24.61 and 55.81 ppm, respectively [37]. Rabha et al [38] also found that the essential oil hydrolate of Z. limonella exhibited strong activities against A. albopictus and C. quinquefasciatus larvae after 24 h. The LC 50 Their results showed that the fruits essential oil had inhibitory activity against all of tested strains.…”

Constituintes químiCos voláteis das folhas e galhos deRecebido em 5/5/08; aceito em 22/8/08; publicado na web em 26/1/09 VOLATILE CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF THE LEAVES AND TWIGS FROM Zanthoxylum syncarpum Tull. The essential oils of the leaves and twigs from Zanthoxylum syncarpum Tull. were examined by GC/MS and GC-FID. Variation in the oil composition relative to the harvesting time was also described. The major components in the leaves oils were limonene (23.1-47.3%) and myrcene (4.8-10.8%). In the oils of twigs, the main components were ar-curcumene (12.8-18.1%), E-β-farnesene (9.1-9.7%) and β-caryophyllene (9.2-9.3%). This paper describes for the first time the composition of the essential oil of the twigs from Z. syncarpum.

The present study was carried out to evaluate an alternative controlling agent for greenhouse pests and the yellow fever mosquito larvae. The potential bioactivity of Licaria puchury-major (Mart.) Kosterm. ("puxuri") was evaluated here against three most common pests in tropical and subtropical countries: Aedes aegypti Linn. Larvae, Tetranychus urticae Koch. mites and Cerataphis lataniae Boisd. aphids. The essential oil from seeds was analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. The major compounds were safrole (38.8%) and eucalyptol (21.7%). Phenylpropanes (51.7%) was the main group of compounds and oxygenated monoterpenes represented 28.8% of the total oil. The essential oil has shown no inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the tested concentrations. However, potential antioxidant activities were evaluated by different methods [DPPH: LD 50 = (27.8 ± 1.0) µg/.mL; ABTS: (977.3 ± 25.2) µM TEs/g (Trolox Equivalents); FRAP: (548.2 ± 29.0) µM Fe(II)/g]. A significant larvicidal potential for 24 h of exposure was observed with LD 50 = 98.9 µg/mL, being an indicative that the larval mortality may occur by ingestion or contact due to the no inhibition against AChE. Volatile phase effects were evaluated against T. urticae Koch. and C. lataniae Boisd. and LD 50 were found about 30.8 and 13.5 µg/mL, respectively. These results are consistent with an octopaminergic effect, since some phenylpropanoids (such as Safrole, identified as the major compound in this work) can block octopamine, a multi-functional, naturally occurring biogenic amine. Then, this study clearly illustrated the efficacy of the investigated seeds, which encourages the development of a new potential natural controlling agent against these common pests due to the abundance of these seeds in the Amazon region and to the high essential oil yield.
