“…(Verbenaceae), also known as "rosemary pepper" is an aromatic plant of popular medicinal use found in the Caatinga region of the Brazilian Northeast (Santos et al, 2016). It presents insecticidal activity against Tenebrio molitor (Lima et al, 2011) and larvae of Aedes aegypti (Lima et al, 2013) and acaricide against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Soares et al, 2016). When tested against different pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli (Ratnaweera et al, 2015) and different fungi and yeasts, including Candida albicans (Premjanu et al, 2016), it demonstrated a strong antimicrobial action.…”

Lippia sidoidesCham. (Verbenaceae) is a species native to the Brazilian northeast, widely used in popular medicine. Its leaves were used for the isolation of endophytic fungi and extraction of metabolites. Among them, three were selected according to fungitoxicity tests against the maize phytopathogenic fungus, Curvularia lunata (Wakker). However, the objective of this study was to identify the role of L. sidoides extracts associated with their endophytic fungi, necessary to reduce excess of fungicides applied on the maize crop. Metabolites were evaluated for antioxidant activity by 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), phenols, total flavonoids and one of it endophytic fungus were evaluated for synergism (Verticilium sp. and plant extracts). The endophytic fungi and plant extracts evaluated for phenolic content ranged from 0.29 ± 0.05 to 96.94 ± 11.86 mgEAG/g, the content of flavonoids from 14.31 ± 1.56 to 192.33 ± 4.58 mgER/g, and antioxidant activity could only be observed for the plant extract with EC 50 81 ± 0.3%. The secondary metabolites identified by HPLC in the plant extract were catechin, quercetin, gallic acid and naringin. Naringenin, catechin, epigallocatechin gallate and quercetin were identified in the extract of the fungi viz. Verticillium sp. and Fusarium sp. Synergistic analysis between a 1:1 proportion of plant and fungal extracts has shown more efficient (79.0%) inhibition of C. lunata. Thus, alternative control of phytopathogenic fungi can be accomplished using plant extracts associated with their endophytic fungi, reducing the excess of fungicides applied on the maize crop.

The recent outbreaks of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus highlighted the pivotal importance of mosquito vector control in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. However, mosquito control is facing hot challenges, mainly due to the rapid development of pesticide resistance in Culicidae and the limited success of biocontrol programs on Aedes mosquitoes. In this framework, screening botanicals for their mosquitocidal potential may offer effective and ecofriendly tools in the fight against mosquitoes. In the present study, the essential oil (EO) obtained from the medicinal plant Origanum scabrum was analyzed by GC-MS and evaluated for its mosquitocidal and repellent activities towards Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Culex tritaeniorhynchus. GC-MS analysis showed a total of 28 compounds, representing 97.1 % of the EO. The major constituents were carvacrol (48.2 %) and thymol (16.6 %). The EO was toxic effect to the A. stephensi, A. aegypti, C. quinquefasciatus, and C. tritaeniorhynchus larvae, with LC 50 of 61.65, 67.13, 72.45, and 78.87 μg/ml, respectively.Complete ovicidal activity was observed at 160, 200, 240, and 280 μg/ml, respectively. Against adult mosquitoes, LD 50 were 122.38, 134.39, 144.53, and 158.87 μg/ml, respectively. In repellency assays, the EOs tested at 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/cm 2 concentration of O. scabrum gave 100 % protection from mosquito bites up to 210, 180, 150, and 120 min, respectively. From an eco-toxicological point of view, the EO was tested on three non-target mosquito predators, Gambusia affinis, Diplonychus indicus, and Anisops bouvieri, with LC 50 ranging from 4162 to 12,425 μg/ml. Overall, the EO from O. scabrum may be considered as a low-cost and eco-friendly source of phytochemicals to develop novel repellents against Culicidae.

O Aedes aegypti L. é o mosquito mais relevante em termos de inseto de importância para a saúde pública no mundo, pois é transmissor de vírus que causam várias doenças, dentre elas a dengue. Na procura de larvicidas alternativos, os óleos essenciais extraídos de plantas medicinais têm demonstrado alta eficiência. Com isso, objetivou-se com avaliar o potencial larvicida de óleos essenciais, extraídos de espécies medicinais, sobre larvas de A. aegypti. O experimento foi realizado nos Laboratórios de Tecnologia de Produtos e de Entomologia Agrícola da Universidade Federal do Cariri (UFCA), na cidade de Crato, Ceará. Os óleos essenciais de alfazema (Hyptis suaveolens); gonçalo-alves (Astronium fraxinifolium0; alecrim de tabuleiro (Lippia Microphylla); mussambê (Cleome spinosa); marmeleiro (Croton sonderianus); aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva); velame (Croton heliotropiifolius) e candeeiro (Vanillosmopsis arborea) foram extraídos pelo método de hidrodestilação em aparelho tipo Clevenger. Os óleos foram emulsionados com Dimetilsulfóxido 2% (DMSO) e diluídos para a concentração de 100 ppm (partes por milhão), utilizando-se o delineamento inteiramente casualisado com nove tratamentos (consistindo nas soluções de 100 ppm de cada óleo mais a solução controle com água e DMSO) e quatro repetições, utilizando-se dez larvas para cada tratamento, sendo avaliado o número de larvas mortas. Observou-se que todos os óleos essenciais apresentaram efeito larvicida, porém os de candeeiro e de alfazema foram os que se destacaram.<pre>Abstract: Aedes aegypti L. is the most relevant mosquito in terms of public health importance of the world, because it’s the virus transmitter that causes many diseases, among this dengue. Looking for alternatives larvicides, the essential oils extracted from medicinal plants have demonstrated high efficiency. Thereby, it was objectified in this work to evaluate the larvicide potential of some essential oils, extracted from medicinal species, against A. aegypti larvae. The experiment was realized at the Laboratory of Products Technology and Agricultural Entomology of the Federal University of Cariri (UFCA), in city of Crato, CE. The essential oils alfazema (Hyptis suaveolens); gonçalo-alves (Astronium fraxinifolium0; alecrim de tabuleiro (Lippia Microphylla); mussambê (Cleome spinosa); marmeleiro (Croton sonderianus); aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva); velame (Croton heliotropiifolius) e candeeiro (Vanillosmopsis arborea) was extracted by hydrodistillation method in apparatus like Clevenger type. The oils were emulsified with dimethyl sulfoxide 2% (DMSO) and diluted to a concentration of 100 ppm (parts per million), utilizing design completely randomized with nine treatments (that consisted in the solutions of 100 ppm of each oil plus control solution with water and DMSO) and four repetitions, utilizing ten larvae for each treatment, being evaluated the number of dead larvae. Was calculated the mortality average by Tukey test with 5% of probability and the efficiency. It was observed that all the essential oils presented larvicide effect, but candeeiro and alfazema was the ones which was highlighted.</pre>
