“…The main component of L. camara was caryophyllene oxide, an antifungal agent (YANG et al, 1999) that has analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity (CHAVAN et al, 2010). The main component of C. sativum was linalool, which has antibacterial activity (FISHER et al, 2007) and insecticidal activity against Tribolium castaneum (STAMOPOULOS et al, 2007), Oryzaephilus surinamensis, Musca domestica and Blattella germanica (LEE et al, 2003), and nematicidal activity against juveniles of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (LEELA et al, 1992). The major constituent of T. minuta, piperitone was an antioxidant (DAR et al, 2011), which has insecticidal activity against larvae of Spodoptera littoralis and fungicidal activity (ABDELGALEIL et al, 2008).…”

In vitro effects of AbstractPhytotherapy can be an alternative for the control of gastrointestinal parasites of small ruminants. This study evaluated the efficacy of Alpinia zerumbet, Coriandrum sativum, Tagetes minuta and Lantana camara essential oils by two in vitro assays on Haemonchus contortus, an egg hatch test (EHT) and larval development test (LDT). No effect was observed for L. camara in the EHT. A. zerumbet, C. sativum and T. minuta essential oils exhibited a dose-dependent effect in the EHT, inhibiting 81.2, 99 and 98.1% of H. contortus larvae hatching, respectively, at a concentration of 2.5 mg mL -1 . The effective concentration to inhibit 50% (EC50) of egg hatching was 0.94, 0.63 and 0.53 mg mL -1 for A. zerumbet, C. sativum and T. minuta essential oils, respectively. In LDT, L. camara, A. zerumbet, C. sativum and T. minuta at concentration of 10 mg mL -1 inhibited 54.9, 94.2, 97.8 and 99.5% of H. contortus larval development, presenting EC50 values of 6.32, 3.88, 2.89 and 1.67 mg mL -1 , respectively. Based on the promising results presented in this in vitro model, it may be possible use of these essential oils to control gastrointestinal nematodes. However, their anthelmintic activity should be confirmed in vivo.Keywords: Phytotherapy, anthelmintic, gastrointestinal nematodes. ResumoFitoterapia pode ser uma alternativa para o controle de parasitas gastrintestinais de pequenos ruminantes. Este estudo avaliou a eficácia dos óleos essenciais de Alpinia zerumbet, Coriandrum sativum, Tagetes minuta e Lantana camara sobre Haemonchus contortus através de dois testes in vitro, teste de eclosão dos ovos (TEO) e teste de desenvolvimento larval (TDL). Nenhum efeito foi observado para L. camara no TEO. Os óleos essenciais de A. zerumbet, C. sativum e T. minuta exibiram um efeito dose dependente no TEO inibindo a eclosão das larvas de H. contortus em 81,2, 99 e 98,1%, respectivamente, na concentração de 2,5 mg mL -1 . A concentração efetiva para inibir 50% (CE50) da eclosão dos ovos foi de 0,94, 0,63 e 0,53 mg mL -1 para os óleos essenciais de A. zerumbet, C. sativum e T. minuta, respectivamente. No TDL, 10 mg mL -1 de L. camara, A. zerumbet, C. sativum e T. minuta inibiram em 54,9, 94,2, 97,8 e 99,5% do desenvolvimento larvar, apresentando valores de CE50 de 6,32, 3,88, 2,89 e 1,67 mg mL -1 , respectivamente. Com base nos resultados promissores apresentados neste modelo in vitro, pode ser possível a utilização destes óleos essenciais para controlar os nematoides gastrintestinais. No entanto, a sua atividade anti-helmíntica deve ser confirmada in vivo.Palavras-chave: Fitoterapia, anti-helmínticos, nematoides gastrintestinais.

“…Terpenes can cause deformation of adult insect emergence or the lack of eggs, similar to growth-regulating hormones [118] such as juvenile hormone. Among the more active terpenes, geraniol causes a high rate of deformities in adults [119]. While the egg stage was found to be the most resistant, the larva was the most sensitive [120][121][122].…”

Many insects affect food production and human health, and in an attempt to control these insects the use of synthetic insecticides has become widespread. However, this has resulted in the development of resistance in these organisms, human diseases, contamination of food, and pollution of the environment. Plants natural products and essential oil components such as terpenes and phenylpropenes have been shown to have a significant potential for insect control. However, the molecular properties related to their insecticidal activity are not well understood. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the toxicity of terpene compounds against three insects of importance to human health: lice, cockroaches, and Triatominae bugs and to evaluate which molecular descriptors are important in the bioactivity of terpenes. For the insects studied, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies were performed in order to predict the insecticidal activity of terpene compounds. The obtained QSAR models indicated that the activity of these compounds depends on their ability to reach the targets and to interact with them. The QSAR analysis can be used to predict the bioactivities of other structurally related molecules. Our findings may provide an important contribution in the search for new compounds with insecticidal activity.

“…This suggests that other components present even in minor amounts contribute toward the insecticidal activity. The minor components in the evaluated oils (linalool, limonene, δ-terpinene, and α-terpineol) have been known for their toxicities against stored pests [64]. Thus a chemical composition and insecticidal-activity relationship deduced from our results demonstrates that the insecticidal activity of essential oils is attributed to the presence of major and minor components in the essential oils.…”

The present study was designed to determine chemical composition of essential oils extracted from different species of the Myrtaceae family and to evaluate their insecticidal activities against Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The essential oils of 10 species were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main component of Eucalyptus crebra, E. microtheca, E. rudis and Melaleuca quinquenervia essential oils was 1,8-cineole (31.6-49.7%). E. melanophloia and E. tereticornis contained p-cymene (41.8-58.1%) as a major component, while Eucalyptus kitsoniana and E. pruinosa essential oils were dominated by α-pinene (25.8-31.4%). Eugenol methyl ether was identified as a major component in M. bracteata essential oil (82.3%). α-Pinene (31.4%) was the main component in the C. viminalis essential oil. Essential oils of all selected plant species showed good insecticidal activities against T. castaneum when compared with pyrethroid as a positive control. Eucalyptus rudis proved most potent against T. castaneum, followed by M. bracteata, M. quinquenervia, and C. viminalis. The results of this study indicate that essential oil of Myrtaceae leaves have potential to be used in the control of T. castaneum.
