“…The efficacy of essential oil from leaves of L. alba has not been studied widely against mosquitoes, although the repellent activity was established against A. aegypti (Castillo, Stashenko, and Duque, 2017). Besides this, the repellent property of the plant was also reported against stored grain pests (Peixoto et al 2015). Keeping it on the mind, a detailed study on the efficacy of L. alba (leaves) oil was done against all the developmental stages of C. quinquefasciatus and A. aegypti which is not found to be reported yet.…”

Background: Being a low-risk insecticide, plant essential oils emerge as competent mosquitocidal and repellent candidates. However, essential oil may act differently in different mosquito species and different developmental stages of same mosquito species. In the current investigation, we evaluated the ovicidal, larvicidal, adulticidal and repellent activities of essential oil extracted from the leaves of Lippia alba against two medically important mosquito species, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. The efficacy of the oil was assessed under laboratory conditions against different developmental stages of the selected species. Results: From the findings, it can be inferred that L. alba oil is more effective as a repellent against both the targeted mosquito species. Results also demonstrated that ovicidal, larvicidal and repellent properties of the essential oil were higher against Culex quinquefasciatus than Aedes aegypti. GC-MS analysis of the oil showed the presence of aromadendrene oxide, caryophyllene oxide, etc. as major constituent compounds. Conclusion: The outcomes of this study clearly indicated that the essential oil of L. alba has the potentiality to act more effectively as a repellent, followed by a larvicidal agent against mosquito and at the same time the results revealed differential vulnerability of different mosquito species and their life stages against a particular plant essential oil.

“…Insecticide activity has been reported for chemotypes I and III; it was reported on Rhipicephalus microplus, RP50 0.47-5.07 mg/cm 2 (Lima et al, 2016) and CL50 8.8-27 mg/ml (Peixoto et al, 2015b;Chagas et al, 2016), on Tribolium castaneum, RP 34-96 % in concentrations of 0.00002-0.2 μL/cm 2 (Caballero-Gallardo, Olivero-Verbel, and CL50 19.7-107.8 μL/ml, and on Sitophilus zeamais, CL50 15.2-70.8 μL/ml (Peixoto et al, 2015a). Chemotype III presents dissuasion > 80 % in oviposition of Aedes aegypti at concentrations of 0.005-0.2 µg/ml (Castillo, Stashenko, & Duque, 2017), and it also has larvicidal activity at variable concentrations: Vera et al (2014) reported CI50 0.042-0.044 µg/ml and IC95 0.089-0.099 µg/ml; Muñoz, Stashenko and Ocampo (2014), CL50 0.11 µg/ ml and CL99 0.211 µg/ml; Ríos, Stashenko and Duque (2017), CL50 63.61 -72.34 µg/ ml CL95 98.91-110.84 µg/ml; and Aldana and Cruz (2017), CL50 of 84-367 µg/ml and CL95 of 118-506 µg/ml.…”

Alba EO to control efficiently parasites that affect vegetable production (Moreira et al, 2009), improve grain conservation (Caballero-Gallardo et al, 2011;Peixoto et al, 2015a;Shukla, Kumar, Singh, & Dubey, 2009), improve the quality of products derived from livestock (Peixoto et al, 2015b;Lima et al, 2016;Chagas et al, 2016), as well as diminish damage during transport of ornamental aquatic species, like Hippocampus reidi (Cunha et al, 2011); anesthetics for model organisms, like Hypsiboas geographicus (Salbego et al, 2017a); sedatives, anesthetics, and preservatives in hedgehogs (Simões et al, 2017) and shrimp (Parodi et al, 2012), and fish of economic importance (Sena et al, 2016;Hohlenwerger et al, 2017;Cunha et al, 2010).…”

Introduction: Lippia alba is an aromatic species belonging to the Verbenaceae family. Its essential oils have been used in different industries, because of its biological properties. Objective: Identify the perspectives of the biotechnological applications of Lippia alba essential oils. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted on the biological activity of Lippia alba essential oils registered until October, 2018 in EBSCO, Embase, Scopus, and Lilacs databases. Results: Chemotypes I and III have been reported for different biological activities from the evaluations performed on microorganisms, fish, arthropods, small mammals, and cell lines; fundamentally associated with antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, antioxidant, and sedative effects, among others. Records focused mainly on the health, fishing industry, and agrifood sectors. Conclusion: Studies on the effect of essential oil are promising, but do not reflect a continuity of the research toward prototypes or finished commercial products. Research groups must unify evaluation methodologies and include in all studies the relationship between phytochemical and biological activity for the meta-analyses to be possible. Likewise, they must join efforts through the National System for Agricultural Innovation (SNIA, for the term in Spanish) to generate finished products that impact upon society and facilitate progress in the country’s bio-economy.

“…Brown, also known as lemon balm, is an aromatic shrub belonging to the family Verbenaceae, widely used throughout South and Central America for various purposes. Studies related to its ethnopharmacology have shown the antimicrobial, analgesic, antiinflammatory, anti-oxidant, and repellent potential present in its essential oils (OLIVEIRA et al, 2006;HENNEBELLE et al, 2008;SHUKLA et al, 2009;MAYNARD et al, 2011;PEIXOTO et al, 2015;LIMA et al, 2016).…”

This work aimed to evaluate the in vitro antifungal activity of the essential oils of L. alba belonging to the carvone chemotype (LA-13 and LA-57) and the citral chemotype (LA-10, LA-29, and LA-44); the carvone enantiomers (R)-(-)-carvone and (S)-(+)-carvone; and citral on phytopathogenic fungi Lasiodiplodia theobromae (LT), Fusarium pallidoroseum (FP) and Fusarium solani (FS). Concentrations of 0.01; 0.05; 0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0.5 and 1.0 mL/100 mL were tested, and the percentage of mycelial growth inhibition (MGI) was calculated after 96h in relation to the control. Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) and Minimal Fungicide Concentrations (MFC) were obtained for essential oils and compounds. From the concentration of 0.2 mL/100 mL, all the accessions and carvone enantiomers were effective against the fungus LT, except the accession LA-44, for which the maximum inhibition occurred from the concentration of 0.3 mL/100 mL. Citral was the most effective compound against LT, with 100% of MGI from the concentration of 0.05 mL /100 mL. All accessions and enantiomers caused 100% of MGI against FP fungus from the concentration of 0.2 mL/100 mL. Once again, citral stood out by providing the same result as the other treatments from the concentration of 0.1 mL/100 mL. Considering the fungus FS, carvone enantiomers and citral caused 100% of MGI from the concentration of 0.1 mL/100 mL while all accessions caused 100% of MGI from the concentration of 0.2 mL/100 mL. Citral and carvone enantiomers presented the lowest MIC values (0.1 mL/100 mL) against FS fungus. The MIC of citral for LT and FP were not determined at the concentrations tested. (R)-(-)-carvone enantiomer presented the lowest MIC (0.1 mL/100 mL) for the LT fungus. Most of the other accessions presented MIC of 0.2 mL/100 mL for the three fungi. In relation to the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), citral stood out with values from 0.05 mL/100 mL (LT). Citral and carvone presented the same MFC for FS (0.2 mL / 100 mL). The other accessions showed MFC values from 0.3 mL/100 mL for the three fungi. Essential oils of L. alba accessions, carvone enantiomers, and citral were efficient in phytopathogen control and could be considered as an alternative to fungicides for presenting inhibitory and fungicidal effect against these microorganisms at low concentrations.
