Quantification of Sesquiterpene Lactones in Asteraceae Plant Extracts: Evaluation of their Allergenic Potential
Sesquiterpene lactones (SLs), mainly those with an activated exocyclic methylene group, are important allergens in Asteraceae (Compositae) plants. As a screening tool, the Compositae mix, consisting of five Asteraceae plant extracts with allergenic potential (feverfew, tansy, arnica, yarrow, and German chamomile) is part of several national patch test baseline series. However, the SL content of...
متن کاملScreening of Asteraceae (Compositae) plant extracts for larvicidal activity against Aedes fluviatilis (Diptera:Culicidae).
Ethanol extracts of 83 plants species belonging to the Asteraceae (Compositae) family, collected in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, were tested for larvicidal activity against the mosquito Aedes fluviatilis--Diptera: Culicidae). The extract from Tagetes minuta was the most active with a LC90 of 1.5 mg/l and LC50 of 1.0 mg/l. This plant has been the object of several studies by other groups a...
متن کاملMolluscicidal Activity of Affinin and Other Isobutylamides from the Asteraceae
Unsaturated aliphatic isobutylamides from Asteraceae, Rutaceae and Piperaceae are potential agents to control schistosomiasis. Affinin (N-isobutyl-2,6,8_decatrienamide) from Heliopsis longipes has strong molluscicidal activity against Physa occidentalis (LD5e ca 100 PM) and the cercariae of the fluke. The amide has also been shown to be present in Wedelia parviceps flowers.
متن کاملLaboratory evaluation of Molluscicidal and Cercaricidal Potential of Artemisia annua (Family: Asteraceae)
The study was aimed to assess the molluscicidal and cercaricidal potential of Artemisia annua leaves under laboratory conditions. The LC50 values of different crude extracts were tested for their molluscicidal activity against immature (Group I), young mature (Group II) and adult (group III) stages of Indoplanorbis exustus using Probit analysis. Snail size and different extracts of Artemisia an...
