“…Many EOs and their components are known to exhibit antifeedant properties against a wide range of insect pests [ 4 , 5 ]. However, research papers on the effects of aniseed EO against stored grain pests are limited though other Apiaceae species were shown as source of insecticidal agents [ 9 , 52 , 53 ] and effective against T. castaneum [ 29 , 54 ]. The EO from Azilia eryngioides (Pau) Hedge and Lamond showed LC 50 values on Sitophilus granarius and T. castaneum of 20.05 μL/L and 46.48 μL/L, respectively, after a 24 h of treatment [ 55 ].…”

Pimpinella anisum Essential Oil Nanoemulsion Toxicity against Tribolium castaneum? Shedding Light on Its Interactions with Aspartate Aminotransferase and Alanine Aminotransferase by Molecular Docking

et al. 2020

The insecticidal activity is the result of a series of complex interactions between toxic substances as ligands and insect’s enzymes as targets. Actually, synthetic insecticides used in pest control programs are harmful to the environment and may affect non-target organisms; thus, the use of natural products as pest control agents can be very attractive. In the present work, the toxic effect of aniseed (Pimpinella anisum L.) essential oil (EO) and its nanoemulsion (NE) against the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, has been evaluated. To assess the EO mode of action, the impact of sub-lethal concentrations of aniseed EO and NE was evaluated on enzymatic and macromolecular parameters of the beetles, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total protein, total lipids and glucose. Finally, a molecular docking study was conducted to predict the mode of action of the major EO and NE components namely E-anethole, Limonene, alpha-himalachalene, trans-Verbenol and Linalool at binding site of the enzymes AST and ALT. Herein, the binding location of the main compounds in both proteins are discussed suggesting the possible interactions between the considered enzymes and ligands. The obtained results open new horizons to understand the evolution and response of insect-plant compounds interactions and their effect predicted at the molecular levels and side effects of both animal and human.

“…In previous literature, repellent efficiency of M . × piperita against agricultural pesticidal activities was investigated (Lashgari, Mashayekhi, Javadzadeh, & Marzban, ; Rahdari & Hamzei, ; Saeidi & Mirfakhraie, ; Yohannes et al, ). A study of Rahdari and Hamzei () demonstrated that 2.2 μl essential oil showed 89.85 ± 1.62% repellent activity against Tribolium castaneum .…”

Peppermint (Mentha × piperita L) is a perennial, glabrous and strongly scented herb belongs to the family Lamiaceae. It is cultivated in a temperate region of Europe, Asia, United States, India and Mediterranean countries due to their commercial value and distinct aroma. In addition to traditional food flavouring uses, M. × piperita is well recognized for their traditional use to treat fever, cold, digestive, anti‐viral, anti‐fungal and oral mucosa and throat inflammation. The scientific studies provide awareness on the use of M. × piperita for biological effects such as anti‐oxidant, anti‐microbial, anti‐viral, anti‐inflammatory, biopesticidal, larvicidal, anticancer, radioprotective effect, genotoxicity and anti‐diabetic activity have been ascribed. A wide spectrum of bioactive phytochemicals such as flavonoids, phenolics lignans and stilbenes and essential oils are expected to be responsible for the aroma effects. In this sense, this present review provides an extensive overview of the traditional medicinal, phytochemical and multiple biological activities of this “Peppermint.”

“…Concerning pests' control, many studies revealed that these secondary metabolites were well-known for their biological activities such as their insecticide effect. [9] In addition, EOs exhibited acute toxicity, anti-feeding, and oviposition deterrents against a wide variety of insect-pests. [10] Though, the EO effects vary regarding the insect species, its developmental stage, and the plant origin producing the EOs.…”

“…[10] Though, the EO effects vary regarding the insect species, its developmental stage, and the plant origin producing the EOs. [9] Among the sources of these natural products, Mentha (Mentha pulegium L.; Lamiaceae) and Ricin (Ricinus communis L., Euphorbiaceae) were very important wild medicinal and aromatic plants used in phytotherapy and traditional medicine. [11,12] Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) has been traditionally used for its antiflatulent, carminative, expectorant, diuretic, and antitussive effects and essentially for its antiseptic properties to treat cold, sinusitis, cholera, food poisoning, bronchitis, and tuberculosis.- [12] Castor (Ricinus communis) is also known for its anticancer, antidiabetic, antiprotozoal, insecticidal, larvicidal, and adult emergence inhibition activities.…”

This work was aimed to investigate the chemical composition of pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) aerial parts and castor (Ricinus communis L.) stems essential oils from Tunisia. Fumigant and repellent toxicities were assessed toward two major stored product beetles: Lasioderma serricorne and Tribolium castaneum. Pennyroyal essential oil was characterized by a clear predominance of the oxygenated monoterpenes fraction (97.10%) instead of phenol fraction (61.47%) in the castor essential oil. The major common compounds of Mentha pulegium were pulegone and isomenthone, whereas 2,4-bis (dimethylbenzyl)-6-t-butylphenol was the main volatile compound of castor essential oil. Pennyroyal essential oil showed a strong antiradical capacity (IC 50 = 14 µg/mL) which is higher than synthetic standard. The effectiveness of pennyroyal essential oil against the coleopteran insects showed potential fumigant impact particularly against Lasioderma serricorne with LC 50 = 8.46 µL/L air. Moreover, significant pest repellent activity was demonstrated with Ricinus communis and Mentha pulegium where the repellency effects reached 80 and 60% after 1 and 24h of exposure against Tribolium castaneum at doses of 0.31 µL/cm 2 and 0.078 µL/cm 2 respectively. Hence, these findings underlined the potential insecticidal effect of castor and pennyroyal essential oils and highlighted their use as valuable food and insecticide products instead of synthetic pesticides.
