“…The investigation also reports use of methanol can extract more active biological compounds since methanol extract inhibits the growth of microbes more than aqueous extract. Studies done by Hammuel, also show that of methanolic extract of A. bidentata roots is rich in alkaloids followed by flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, glycosides and saponins with the absence of tannins 27 . Studies also done by Chigodi, (2013) indicate the methanolic extract of the roots of the A. bidentata plant indicates the presence of tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, reducing sugars, terpenoids, phlobatannins, steroids and Coumarins 28 .…”

Pesticides are the chemicals most commonly used by humans in the production of many foods worldwide. Most of thepesticides are chemical derived which not only causes different diseases in the human population rather affects the environment too. The natural pesticide obtained from plant-based sources can be considered as an alternative. Achyranthes bidentata is chosen for this current study to formulate an effective pesticide based on plant origin. The root extract of A. bidentata has been prepared and it has been subjected to its phytochemical screening. The functional group presentin the extract has been determined by using FTIR and the volatile constituents have been detected by using GCMS. Theinsect-repellent property of the extract has been investigated using weevil and found to be efficacious. FTIR analysisshowed hydroxyl, amine, amide, carbonyl, nitrile, alkanes, alkenes and nitro groups, while GCMS analysis showed benzene,1-phenyl ethyl alcohol, limonene, toluene. In the insect repellent study, it has been found that A 3% to 15% concentration of A. bidentata extract and duration time of 24, 48 and 72 hours caused 88.33% grain weevils after 72 hours at 10% extractconcentration. It can be concluded from the performed studies that, A. bidentata root extract can be effectively used as aninsecticide for agricultural purposes.

Hunting Bioactive Molecules from the Agave Genus: An Update on Extraction and Biological Potential

Agaves are plants used in the production of alcoholic beverages and fibers. Ever since ancient times, pre-Hispanic cultures in Mexico have used them in traditional medicine to cure different ailments. Over the years, studies of the active principles responsible for the therapeutic benefits of agaves have increased. Leaves and fibers are the main agro-wastes generated in tequila and mezcal production, while fibers are the main waste product in the textile sector. Different investigations have referred to the agro-waste from agave processing as a source of bioactive molecules called secondary metabolites (SM). Among them, phenols, flavonoids, phytosterols, and saponins have been extracted, identified, and isolated from these plants. The role of these molecules in pest control and the prospect of metabolites with the biological potential to develop novel drugs for chronic and acute diseases represent new opportunities to add value to these agro-wastes. This review aims to update the biological activities and recent applications of the secondary metabolites of the genus Agave.

The chemical composition of n-hexane extractives from lignocellulose residual contained in different agroindustrial wastes was studied. The n-hexane extract, which accounted for 1.6% of total lignocellulose residual weight, was analysed by 1 H-NMR and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The most predominant compounds identified were aliphatic hydrocarbons (lineal alkanes, branched alkanes, alkenes). Additionally, terpenes, ketones, fatty alcohols, fatty acids and steroids were also found together in minor amounts. The lipophilic compounds in n-hexane extracts in three lignocellulosic wastes, which is highly valuable information for a more complete industrial utilization of these lignocellulosic materials.
