“…Moreover, oxide piperitenone also completely inhibited egg hatching at a dose of 750 g/mL in an ovicidal assay, as well as inhibited oviposition, but no changes were observed in adult development [123]. When Acanthoscelides obtectus larvae and pupae were exposed to sublethal concentrations of lavender, rosemary, and Eucalyptus essential oil vapor, the results revealed an increase in the development times of larvae and pupae along with a reduction in the longevity and fecundity of the emerged female adults [124].…”

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.

“…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]. Oxide piperitenone retarded the reproduction of the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi.…”

Abstract:Medicinal plant species were tested for their fumigant activity against Spodoptera littoralis third instar larvae. Responses varied according to plant species and parts used. For the present investigation, volatile oils were obtained from: Foeniculum vulgare (flowers and seeds), Coriandrum sativum (seeds), Daucus carota (flowers), Pelargonium graveolens (leaves and flowers), Origanum majorana (leaves and flowers), and Salvia officinalis (leaves). Fumigant activity was observed after 24 hours of exposure. All essential oils were proved to be toxic to the third instar larvae. However, the highest mortality was observed in the essential oil of S. officinalis leaves, C. sativum seeds, F. vulgare seeds, D. carota flowers, and O. majorana leaves with LC 50 = 23.050 µl/l air, 68.925 µl/l air, 95.075 µl/l air, 99.300 µl/l air, and 100.925 µl/l air, respectively. Other oils showed an LC 50 between 101 and 183 µl/l air.

“…Trabalhos têm demonstrado que os óleos essenciais das plantas apresentam atividade inseticida, podendo ser repelente, ovicida, larvicida, além de inibirem a alimentação, o crescimento e a oviposição (Ho et al, 1996;Regnault-Roger, 1997;Papachristos et al, 2004;Tapondjou et al, 2005;Salem et al, 2007;Stamopoulos et al, 2007;Rajendran e Sriranjini, 2008). Muitos dos ingredientes ativos presentes nos óleos são metabólitos secundários secretados pelas plantas na defesa química contra artrópodes, patógenos e microrganismos (Regnault-Roger, 1997;Rajendran e Sriranjini, 2008).…”

RESUMORhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus representa um grande problema na bovinocultura e o uso de acaricidas é a medida de controle profilático e terapêutico mais comum contra esses ectoparasitos. Os principais problemas relacionados com essa prática dizem respeito ao desenvolvimento de linhagens resistentes de carrapatos. Assim, objetivou-se determinar o efeito de extratos da casca de Anadenanthera macrocarpa sobre as larvas de R. (B.)
