Aiming to verify the insecticidal potential of 16 native plants from the Araripe National Forest (ANFO) on L3 Aedes aegypti larvae in laboratory conditions, were researches performed in controlled conditions of temperature, air relative humidity and photophase, in a type B.O.D. climatized chamber, executed in period from August/2016 to May/2017. The adopted experimental design was completely randomized, represented by ethanolic extracts obtained from 16 native plants, besides the witness without application and with pyriproxyfen as chemical insecticide, conducted with four replicates in each plant extract. The application of the extracts was performed only once, and at 24, 48 and 72 hours, after the infestation, was determined the effects of the extracts on larval mortality. The extracts of Amargoso, oil’tree, Lacre, Cajui, Louro smelling, Field Rosemary, Murici truthful, Janaguba and laranjinha provoke mortality above of 90% to the larvae of Aedes aegypti after three days of exposure, in the dose of 50 mL of the extracts. After 24 hours of exposure, the ethanolic extracts from barks and leaves of Field Rosemary and of laranjinha killed all the larvae. On the other hand, the extracts with higher larvicide potential were evaluated at different doses (i.e., 12.5, 25, and 50 mL/L) in a 9 × 3 factorial scheme, with four replicates. The ethanolic extract of the leaves of Louro smelling is the most efficient, because in any dosage it eliminates all the larvae of Aedes aegypti, thus demonstrating to be an excellent vegetable larvicide in the control of this vector after three days of exposure, whereas the bark extract of the oil’tree is the least effective. The alkaloids and flavonoids are present in the leaves of the Louro smelling.

The aim of this study was to carry out phytochemical prospecting and evaluate the larvicidal activity of Himatanthus drasticus latex extracts against Aedes aegypti. The extracts were obtained by maceration from 5 g of latex powder concentrated separately in 100 mL of methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane solvents. The concentrations of 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm of each extract were tested in triplicate with a solution of pyriproxyfen as the positive control and distilled water and dimethylsulfoxide as the negative control. The phytochemical prospection of the methanolic extract showed the presence of phenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins, anthocyanidins, catechins, chalcones, aurones, leucoanthocyanidins, and condensed tannins. The insecticidal bioactivity was most significant for the methanolic extract. The methanolic extract lethal concentrations (LC) of 50 and 90% were 190.76 and 464.74 ppm, respectively. After 48 hours of exposure, the extracts using methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane at their highest concentrations (500 ppm) caused larval mortality of 100, 73.33, and 66.67%, respectively. These extracts also promoted changes in the external morphology of the larvae, such as damage to the anal papillae, darkening of the body, and reduction in the number of bristles. The methanolic extract showed greater expressivity for morphological changes. The latex of H. drasticus has larvicidal activity against third-stade larvae of A. aegypti and it is more significant when obtained through maceration in methanol. The methanolic extract of H. drasticus latex contains phenolic compounds with insecticidal activity against A. aegypti larvae.

“…The eggs were then kept in a BOD incubator, and the hatchability was checked every five days until the 25 th day of the experiment. The eggs exposed to water and 1% DMSO were used as the negative control (Silva et al, 2014), while a commercial insecticide (0.02% Imiprotin, 0.05% Permetrin, and 0.1% Esbiotrin) was used as the positive control. All assays were performed in triplicates (Nunes et al, 2015).…”

Ovicidal, pupicidal, adulticidal, and repellent activity of Helicteres velutina K. Schum against Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae)

et al. 2021

Aedes aegypti is a vector of emerging and neglected diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. Helicteres velutina, known as "pitó" in Brazil, is traditionally used as an insect repellent, and several studies have demonstrated its larvicidal activity. The aim of this study was to investigate this species and evaluate its potential ovicidal, pupicidal, adulticidal, and repellent activity. The viability of the eggs was evaluated using different concentrations of the test substances for 25 days. The hexane fraction killed 72.7% of the eggs, while dichloromethane killed 67.7%. The survival of the pupae and adults was verified after 72 h and 48 h, respectively. The LC 50 for the hexane and dichloromethane fractions was 0.12 mg/mL and 8.85 mg/mL for pupae, 8.01 mg/mL and 0.74 mg/mL for adults (tarsal test), and 0.05 mg/mL and 0.23 mg/mL for adults (body test), respectively. Repellency was assessed for 240 min using neonatal Wistar rats on a Y-tube olfactometer. The hexane fraction attracted mosquitoes to the test chamber, while the dichloromethane fraction had a repellent action. The 7,4'-di-O-methyl-8-O-sulfate flavone provides greater repellency, and this finding is similar to the results of the in silico studies that have shown the potential of this substance against adult mosquitoes. This suggests that 7,4'-di-O-methyl-8-O-sulfate flavone may be one of the substances present in the extract from aerial parts of H. velutina that is responsible for the repellent activity mentioned in traditional medicine. These findings provide a better understanding of the insecticidal and repellent activity of the extract, fraction, and compounds isolated from H. velutina against Ae. aegypti, thereby revealing its potential in the development of a more effective botanical insecticide.
