Molluscicidal activity of some BrazilianSolanumspp. (Solanaceae) againstBiomphalaria glabrata

Abstract: Plants in the genus Solanum (Solanaceae) produce a great variety of steroidal saponins and glycoalkaloids that confer natural resistance against several pests. Methanolic extracts of 13 Solanum species have now been tested for molluscicidal activity against Biomphalaria glabrata. The extracts investigated were prepared from the fruit of S. asperum, S. capsicoides, S. palinacantum, S. paludosum, S. paniculatum, S. paraibanum and S. sisymbriifolium, the aerial parts of S. asperum, S. capsicoides, S. crinitum, S.… Show more

“…Earlier it has been reported that organic (ether, chloroform and ethanol) extracts of B. variegata and M. elengi leaf and bark contain tannin, saponin, glycoside, terpenoids, flavonoids etc. 5,6,8,19,25 . Although large numbers Column purification: One hundred milliliters of B. variegata leaf ethanol extract and M. elengie bark ethanol extract were subjected to silica gel (60-120 mesh, Qualigens glass, Precious Electro Chemindus Private Limited, Mumbai, India) chromatography through 95×45cm column.…”

“…The signifi cant correlation between the brine shrimp assay and in vitro growth inhibition of human solid tumor cell lines demonstrated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI, USA) is signifi cant because it shows the value of this bioassay as a pre-screening tool for antitumor drug research (Anderson et al, 1991). The wide distribution, anticancer properties (Kupchan et al, 1965;Cham et al, 1987;Cham, 1994;Daunter;Cham, 1990;Hu et al, 1999;Esteves-Souza et al, 2002;Lee et al, 2004;Friedman et al, 2005) of the glycoalkaloids and molluscicidal activity (Silva et al, 2005c) of the crude extracts, led us to the selection of these Solanum species for the present work.…”

“…A atividade moluscicida contra Biomphalaria glabrata foi estudada por Silva et al (2005) utilizando-se o extrato metanólico das raízes e por , testando o extrato alcaloídico de ramos e caule. Os estudos identificaram que tanto o extrato do caule como o da raiz apresentou bioatividade no controle da esquistossomose (CL50 = 45,2 μg/mL e CL50 = 48,49μg/mL, respectivamente).…”
