چکیده
A spirostanic saponin was isolated from the ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Solanum laxum Steud. The compound, named luciamin, was characterised by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and chemical methods, as (22R, 25S)-spirost-5-en-3 beta, 15 alpha-diol 3-O-|beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1 --> 2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-( 1 --> 4)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-( 1 --> 2)]-beta-D-galactopyranoside|. The compound was tested against the aphid Schizaphis graminum by incorporation in artificial diets. It showed a deterrent (toxic) activity against the insect and is the first spirostane glycoside reported to have this activity.

The potentiality of botanicals and their products as an alternative to chemical insecticides to sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae): a review.
Use of chemical pesticides is the current method for controlling sandflies. However, resistance is being developed in sandflies against the insecticide of choice that is DDT (dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane). Botanicals have potential to act as an alternative to chemical insecticides as the crude extracts and active molecules of some plants show insecticidal effect to sandflies. This will lead...
متن کاملPreventive control of aphids in ornamental plants with complementary parasitoids.
Biological control of aphids can be achieved with parasitoids. A parasitoid is a wasp able to parasitize aphids in a host-specific way. These natural enemies of aphids are used in organic or integrated pest management strategies. In order to apply the matching parasitoid against a given aphid species, the aphid has to be detected in the crop and subsequently identified. By the time the aphids a...

The leaf extract of Solanum trilobatum (Solanaceae) was tested under laboratory conditions for oviposition deterrent and skin repellent activities against the adult mosquito Anopheles stephensi. Concentrations of 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1% reduced egg laying by gravid females from 18 to 99% compared to ethanol-treated controls. In skin repellent tests, concentrations of 0.001, 0.005, 0.0...

A new solanocapsine-type tomato glycoside, a novel and interesting natural steroidal glycoside, was isolated from a mini tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. The chemical structure of the new minor glycoside, esculeoside B-5 (3), was determined to be (5S,22R,23S,24R,25S)-22,26-epimino-16β,23-epoxy-3β,23,24-trihydroxycholestane 3-O-β-lycotetraoside.
