“…The insecticidal and larvicide activities of myristicin were the properties described in recent years that showed the most satisfactory results in vivo and in vitro. The materials used in the research were essential oils extracted from plants such as Piper aduncum , Echinophora spinosa , Clausena anisum-olens , Helosciadium nodiflorum , Ligusticum pteridophyllum , Trachyspermum ammi , Smyrnium olusatrum , Pimpinella anisum , Myristica fragrans (nutmeg), Ligusticum jeholense or isolated myristicin [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ].…”

Natural products have been used by humanity for many centuries to treat various illnesses and with the advancement of technology, it became possible to isolate the substances responsible for the beneficial effects of these products, as well as to understand their mechanisms. In this context, myristicin, a substance of natural origin, has shown several promising activities in a large number of in vitro and in vivo studies carried out. This molecule is found in plants such as nutmeg, parsley, carrots, peppers, and several species endemic to the Asian continent. The purpose of this review article is to discuss data published in the last 10 years at Pubmed, Lilacs and Scielo databases, reporting beneficial effects, toxicity and promising data of myristicin for its future use in medicine. From 94 articles found in the literature, 68 were included. Exclusion criteria took into account articles whose tested extracts did not have myristicin as one of the major compounds.

“…In this group of sesquiterpenes, some aromadrendane compounds showed insecticidal activity due to the conformational rigidity that the gem-dimethylcyclopropyl group imposes, the lipophilic character of the methyl groups, and the variation in oxygen functions between the compounds; it can favor the binding with lipoprotein receptors, triggering several biological responses, including insecticidal activity [133]. The compound spathulenol, for example, showed toxicity against the aphid Metopolophium dirhodum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and two types of insects from stored products, Tribolium castaneum and Lasioderma serricorne [190,191]. This compound also showed repellency against mosquitoes (A. stephensi and A. aegypti), a leaf-cutting ant (Atta cephalotes), a red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum), and a smoke beetle (Lasioderma serricorne) [191][192][193].…”

Taxonomic Insights and Its Type Cyclization Correlation of Volatile Sesquiterpenes in Vitex Species and Potential Source Insecticidal Compounds: A Review

2021

Sesquiterpenes (SS) are secondary metabolites formed by the bonding of 3 isoprene (C5) units. They play an important role in the defense and signaling of plants to adapt to the environment, face stress, and communicate with the outside world, and their evolutionary history is closely related to their physiological functions. This review considers their presence and extensively summarizes the 156 sesquiterpenes identified in Vitex taxa, emphasizing those with higher concentrations and frequency among species and correlating with the insecticidal activities and defensive responses reported in the literature. In addition, we classify the SS based on their chemical structures and addresses cyclization in biosynthetic origin. Most relevant sesquiterpenes of the Vitex genus are derived from the germacredienyl cation mainly via bicyclogermacrene and germacrene C, giving rise to aromadrendanes, a skeleton with the highest number of representative compounds in this genus, and 6,9-guaiadiene, respectively, indicating the production of 1.10-cyclizing sesquiterpene synthases. These enzymes can play an important role in the chemosystematics of the genus from their corresponding routes and cyclizations, constituting a new approach to chemotaxonomy. In conclusion, this review is a compilation of detailed information on the profile of sesquiterpene in the Vitex genus and, thus, points to new unexplored horizons for future research.

“…[10] Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that Apiaceae essential oils possessed insecticidal and repellent properties against many kinds of stored insects. [11][12][13] Ligusticum L. is an important genus of Apiaceae family, widely distributed in Europe, Asia, and North America. [14] Found in China, Ligusticum pteridophyllum, Ligusticum ajanense, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Ligusticum thomsonii, and Ligusticum jeholense are the five abundant and representative plants of Ligusticum L. genus.…”

Apiaceae L. contains many potential plants as repellent and insecticidal resources. However, Ligusticum applied in the stored insect control is still under-evaluated. Hence, the chemical composition and bioactivities of five Ligusticum plants with abundant resources were investigated in this study against Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), Lasioderma serricorne (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), and Liposcelis bostrychophila (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae). The contact toxicity was found 24 h after treatment with
