“…These effects were expected owing to the active constituents of these oils. The major components present in lavender essential oil are as determined by GC–MS in this study corresponded with the findings of previous studies ( El-Akhal et al, 2021 , Karamaouna et al, 2013 ), as did the components present in the peppermint essential oil ( Ebadollahi et al, 2017 , Mackled et al, 2019 , Samarasekera et al, 2008 ) and the rosemary essential oil ( Jafari-sales and Pashazadeh, 2020 , Zeghib et al, 2020 ). Generally, the tested three essential oils recorded chemical constituents and their insecticidal activities in accordance with the methods of several previous studies reviewed by Ebadollahi et al (2020) .…”

“…Moreover, studies reported that minor compounds found such as bornyl acetate (present in rosemary oil) exhibited strong larvicidal activity against Cx. pipiens larvae ( Zeghib et al, 2020 ). Other compounds present in high concentrations, similarly to our study, such as linalool and terpineol (in lavender oil) and menthone (in peppermint oil) individually exhibited low larvicidal activities with recorded LD 50 of 193,194, and 156 mg/L, respectively, against Cx.…”

“…They have deterrent activities observed by many researchers (Thanigaivel et al, 2017;Hafsi et al, 2022). The interest in new botanical compounds for biological control is based on their bioefficiency, their biodegradability, their respect for the environment, their physiological activity (Baranitharan et al, 2020;Kharoubi et al, 2020;Zeghib et al, 2020;Rechek et al, 2021) and usually their low mammalian toxicity (El-Sabrout et al, 2020). They provide a safer option for controlling various types of insects (Sukumar et al, 1991).…”

Phytochemical composition of almond oil from Melia azedarach L. and its larvicidal, ovicidal, repellent and enzyme activities in Culex pipiens L.

Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) is a botanical species with focal point of global research for its biological properties. The Melia azedarach tree is distinguished by its rapid growth, its adaptation to different temperate zones, as well as its insecticidal properties. All this made us think of exploiting it in biological control against different stages of mosquitoes. To this end, we aim, through the present work, to evaluate the effectiveness of Melia azedarach extracts against Culex pipiens mosquito. More specifically, our study focuses on determining the chemical composition of Melia almond oil, as well as the larvicidal, ovicidal and repellent activities on Culex pipiens L. mosquito as well as the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST). Almond oil was extracted by a Soxhlet and subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The yield was found to be 35.17%. The chemical composition revealed the presence of various phytoconstituents. A total of 7 compounds were identified, the main ones being 9,11-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, (E,E)-(79.32%), 9-octadecenoic acid (Z)-, methyl ester (13.24%), hexadecanoic acid and methyl ester (3.69%). The larvicidal bioassays were performed according to the protocol recommended by the World Health Organization with concentrations varying from 20 to 80 mg/L depending on the exposure time (24, 48 and 72 hours). The almond oil exhibited remarkable larvicidal activity against fourth instar larvae and the lethal concentrations were determined (LC 25 = 23.70 mg/L, LC 50 =35.49 mg/L, LC 90 =79.61 mg/L). The results also showed that the oil caused an ovicidal activity with a significant effect on egg hatch. The recorded hatching percentages were respectively 88.79% and 72.40% for the LC 25 and LC 50 , and this compared to the control series. Moreover, this oil exhibited significant repellency against adult mosquitoes. Furthermore, the enzymatic measurements performed on LC 50 and LC 90 treated larvae revealed a neurotoxic activity and a stimulation of the detoxification system as evidenced, respectively, by an inhibition of AChE and induction in GST activity. Overall, our data proved that Melia azedarach almond oil could be considered as a potent biorational alternative to synthetic insecticides for mosquito control.

“…They are promising products in the research and development of bioinsecticides because they interact with the nervous system of insects due to anticholinesterase activity, inhibition, or antagonism of gamma-aminobutyric receptors (Braga et al, 2007) or acting on the digestive system (Camaroti et al, 2018). Therefore, they play an important part in the control of agricultural pests (Deb et al, 2020), urban vectors (Bouabida et al, 2020;Zeghib et al, 2020), and insecticide formulations, since they present low toxicity and are alternatives to the use of synthetic insecticides (Sharma et al, 2020;Amado et al, 2020).…”

Essential oils arouse the interest of research for insect control. Schinus terebinthifolius is described in the literature for being bioactive against Aedes aegypti larvae. However, studies are scarce to fully assess the larvicidal potential of this species. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, bioactivity, time of death and bioavailability of the essential oil from different parts of S. terebinthifolius obtained from the Brazilian cerrado on Ae. aegypti larvae. For this, plants grown in the city of Goiânia-GO were used and the elucidation of the chemical composition of essential oils was carried out by means of gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Ae. aegypti larvae were used in the bioassays to assess larvicidal activity, determine the time of death and bioavailability of the essential oil in solution. In addition, the interference of essential oil in the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase was also investigated. Based on the results obtained, it was observed that the most promising essential oil for the development of larvicidal formulations is that of fruits, based on having higher yield, greater bioactivity, time of death similar to synthetic insecticides. An inhibitory interaction of acetylcholinesterase was also observed. However, the essential oil had low bioavailability, so it is necessary to develop formulations to increase its bioactivity period.
