Item Composição química, atividade acaricida, propriedade antioxidante, inibição da acetilcolinesterase e toxicidade do óleo essencial das folhas de Sparattanthelium botocudorum(2024-03-05) Silva, Mirian Luzinete da; Camara, Cláudio Augusto Gomes da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5615678215435460; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4499498152298785Sparattanthelium botocudorum is a species endemic to Brazil, commonly known as “Canela-brava”, this shrub is distributed on the coast of Paraíba and in the state of Pernambuco. Due to the scarcity of chemical and biological studies on this plant, the research aimed to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil of the leaves as well as the evaluation of the acaricidal, antioxidant and toxicity properties against Artemia salina. The essential oil, extracted from fresh leaves, through the hydrodistillation technique with the aid of a Clevenger-type device, had a yield of 0.40% m/m and its chemical characterization, through Gas Chromatography coupled to the Mass Spectrometer (CG-MS), emerged as the majority constituents were the sesquiterpenes Germanecrene D with (38.28 %), E-Nerolidol (18.95 %), [beta]-Caryophyllene (14.49 %) and Biciclogermacrene (14.18 %) and the single monoterpene Z-[beta]-Ocimene identified in the OE with a percentage of 0.37%. Residual contact bioassays were carried out, with the aim of identifying the effects of the oil on the two-spotted mite, and showed promising toxicity. The residual contact bioassay, in which the mites are arranged on already treated leaves, showed LC50 = 16.5 μL/mL. Furthermore, the oil also demonstrated ovicidal properties with an estimated LC50 of 1.20 μL/mL. And regarding repellency activity, the oil showed a better potential with the LC30 concentration 8.8 μL/mL. After evaluating the inhibition activity of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, the essential oil from the leaves of S. botocudorum inhibited the enzyme, since the LC50 resulted was 2.9 μg/mL below the LC50 of the positive control, which is 5.95 μg/mL. mL. Furthermore, OE presented antioxidant properties for the free radical DPPH˙, estimating an EC50 = 110.3 μg/mL, while for the free radical ABTS˙+ it was EC50 = 49.23 μg/mL. Finally, the oil exhibited a toxicity concentration of 700 μg/mL for the toxicity test against A. salina, which compared to what described in the literature had no toxicity. Therefore, the study showed that the essential oil presented similar and promising effects compared to already commercialized acaricides, and that the bioassays presented different routes of action, therefore acting with different mechanisms on the pest and presenting a biological property of antioxidant activity.Item Avaliação da toxicidade do extrato de folhas de Annona squamosa para Aedes aegypti, Nasutitermes corniger e Sitophilus zeamais(2019-12-20) Santos, Lucas Gabriel Pita dos; Pontual, Emmanuel Viana; Almeida, Welton Aaron de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6880632191779221; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1777060469196142; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5858954656778360The high environmental toxicity of the compounds currently used for control of insect pests, as well as the emergence of resistant populations have stimulated the search for new agents with insecticidal activity. In this work, an extract of Annona squamosa (Annonaceae) leaves was evaluated for the presence of proteins and secondary metabolites. The effect of the extract on larvae of Aedes aegypti (vector of dengue, yellow fever, zika and chikungunya) and adults of Nasutitermes corniger (urban pest) and Sitophilus zeamais (agricultural pest) was also investigated. The chemical characterization of the extract revealed the presence of proteins, lectin (HAE = 21,3) and trypsin inhibitor (15,6 U/mg) activities, as well as secondary metabolites the classes of flavonoids (rutin), cinnamic derivatives (chlorogenic acid), saponins, anthraquinones, terpenes and steroids. The extract was in toxic to A. aegypti larvae and the concentration required to kill 50% of larvae (CL50) was 1.9% (m/v). On the other hand, the extract did not affect the survival of N. corniger soldiers and workers. S. zeamais adults showed mortality ranging from 51.2 to 63.8% regarding the control when fed with the diet containing the extract (15 to 75 mg/g), but a strong deterrent feeding effect was detected. This data revealed that the insects die from starvation and not from intoxication due to the extract intake. The treatment with the extract resulted in high mortality of Hyalella sp. at the concentration corresponding to the LC50 for A. aegypti. However, the presence of the extract interferes with the pH and the amount of dissolved O2 in the culture solution, suggesting that Hyalella sp mortality cannot be a result of a direct toxicity of the extract. In conclusion, the A. squamosa leaf extract is an interesting candidate for use in the control of A. aegypti populations and as a protection agent for stored grains against the S. zeamais attack. Additionally, the use of the extract in the environment needs caution due to the high mortality detected for Hyalella sp.
