“…Oil extraction was performed immediately after collection as described by Santos et al (2012). Inflorescences (528.3 g, corresponding to 25 inflorescences collected at the same time) were homogenized with distilled water using a blender and treated with a hydrodistillation technique.…”

“…It is cultivated on a large scale due to its ability to bloom throughout the year as well as the profusion and durability of its flowers (Medeiros et al, 2009;Vict orio et al, 2010). Santos et al (2012) were the first to report the insecticidal action of A. purpurata inflorescence essential oil; essential oils extracted from inflorescences of the red and pink variants were active against the dengue vector, Aedes aegypti L., by killing the fourth instar larvae and exerting an oviposition-deterrent effect.…”

Context: Hyptis suaveolens (Linn.) Poit., Hyptis rhomboidea Mart. et Gal., and Hyptis brevipes Poit., are three species of Hyptis Jacq. (Lamiaceae). Hyptis suaveolens is used for the treatment of fever, headache, gastrointestinal bloating and rheumatism in the traditional folk medicine; Hyptis rhomboidea for hepatitis, ulcer and swollen poison; and Hyptis brevipes for asthma and malaria. Objective: To characterize chemical compositions of the oils from three Hyptis species and evaluate their potential antimicrobial, radical scavenging activities and toxicities against brine shrimp. Materials and methods: The oils were obtained by hydrodistillation, and their chemical compositions were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined using the tube double-dilution technique. The antioxidant activities were investigated using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and toxicities by the brine shrimp bioassay. Results: Forty-seven, 33 and 28 constituents of oils isolated, respectively, from H. suaveolens, H. rhomboidea and H. brevipes were identified. Among the essential oils, the strongest antioxidant activity was exhibited by H. brevipes with an SC 50 value of 2.019 AE 0.25 mg mL À1. The H. brevipes oil exhibited the strongest antimicrobial activity (3.125-6.25 mg mL À1) on pathogens employed in the assay. They all showed significant toxicities with median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) values of 62.2 AE 3.07 mg mL À1, 65.9 AE 6.55 mg mL À1 and 60.8 AE 9.04 mg mL À1, respectively. Discussion and conclusions: The three Hyptis species oils possess strong antimicrobial activities and toxicities. Hyptis rhomboidea and H. brevipes showed considerable antioxidant activity compared to the positive control.

“…1 Gas chromatogram of Murraya exotica leaf essential oil had a larvicidal activity against A. aegypti. β-caryophyllene is a major component from the essential oil of Alpinia purpurata and showed larvicidal activity against fourth instar larvae of A. aegypti with IC 50 values of 80.7 and 71.5 ppm, respectively (Santos et al 2012). Senthilkumar and Venkatesalu (2010) reported that α-humulene and caryophyllene oxide are major chemical components from the essential oil of P. amboinicus.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the phytochemical composition and larvicidal effect of leaf essential oil from Murraya exotica against early fourth-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus. Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses revealed that the essential oil contained 27 components. The major chemical components identified were β-humulene (40.62%), benzyl benzoate (23.96%), β-caryophyllene (7.05%) and α-terpinene (5.66%). The larval mortality was observed after 12 and 24 h of exposure period. The results revealed that essential oil showed varied levels of larvicidal activity against A. aegypti, A. stephensi and C. quinquefasciatus. After 12 h of exposure period, the larvicidal activities were LC₅₀ = 74.7 and LC₉₀ = 152.7 ppm (A. aegypti), LC₅₀ = 56.3 and LC₉₀ = 107.8 ppm (A. stephensi ), and LC₅₀ = 74.4 and LC₉₀ = 136.9 ppm (C. quinquefasciatus) and the larvicidal activities after 24 h of exposure period were LC₅₀ = 35.8 and LC₉₀ = 85.4 ppm (A. aegypti), LC₅₀ = 31.3 and LC₉₀ = 75.1 ppm (A. stephensi), and LC₅₀ = 43.2 and LC₉₀ = 103.2 ppm (C. quinquefasciatus). These results suggest that leaf essential oil from M. exotica is a promising and eco-friendly source of natural larvicidal agent against A. aegypti, A. stephensi and C. quinquefasciatus.
