Promising Antioxidant and Insecticidal Properties of Chemically Characterized Hydroethanol Extract from Withania adpressa Coss. ex Batt

Withania adpressa Coss. ex Batt is a wild plant belonging to the family Solanaceae, native Mediterranean area. The present work was undertaken study chemical composition, antioxidant and insecticidal properties of (W. adpressa) extract. extract obtained by use maceration with hydroethanol, its composition characterized HPLC. Evaluation potency achieved DPPH, TAC FRAP bioassays. Insecticidal activity tested against Callosobruchus maculatus (C. maculatus) investigating mortality, longevity, fecundity emergence after being immersed hydroethanol W. adpressa. HPLC analysis revealed that studied rich in apigenin, luteolin, rutin hydrate, gallic acid, p-coumaric acid gallate, ferulic acid. crude recorded excellent potencies calculated values as follows: IC-50 49.01 ± 0.65 µg/mL (DPPH), EC50 119.61 1.81 (FRAP), 483.47 5.19 µg EAA/mg (TAC). Regarding activity, it mortality C. treated reached 94.21 2.05%. In addition, effectively controlled fecundity, maculatus. outcome suggests derivatives have promising properties, consequently, they may be used natural insecticides antioxidants.
