Abstract:An increasing morbidity and mortality rate has been related to arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti. Compounds with cinnamoyl moiety represent an alternative against mosquitos, considering their larvicidal activity. This study aimed to assess the larvicidal activity of cinnamic ester derivates against Aedes aegypti larvae, along with evaluating their toxicity effect to assess its safety as a larvicide. Ethyl cinnamate demonstrated larvicidal activity (LC 50 = 48.59 μg/mL). Morphological changes in larvae w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
