姜黄素类化合物对朱砂叶螨的生物活性

分别用玻片浸渍法和叶片浸渍法测定了从姜黄中分离的姜黄素(curcumin,CCM)、去甲氧基姜黄素(demethoxycurcumin,DMC)和双去甲氧基姜黄素(bisdemethoxycurcumin,BDMC) 3种天然姜黄素类化合物对朱砂叶螨Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval的成螨、若螨、卵的触杀活性以及对成螨产卵的抑制作用。结果表明：3种化合物对朱砂叶螨的生物活性大小依次为BDMC>DMC>CCM。3种化合物对朱砂叶螨成螨触杀活性最高者为BDMC,处理24 h和48 h其LC₅₀分别为1.18和0.51 mg/mL。对若螨触杀活性的大体趋势与对成螨的相同,其中处理48 h,BDMC对若螨的LC₅₀最小,为2.48 mg/mL。3种化合物对朱砂叶螨卵的触杀毒力也同样表现为BDMC>DMC>CCM。3种单体化合物都表现出一定的对朱砂叶螨雌成螨的产卵抑制作用。对姜黄素类化合物构效关系的初步研究,明确了甲氧基在姜黄素模板上对杀螨活性的贡献,对于开发具经济价值的叶螨类杀螨剂或者筛选先导化合物模板,具有一定的参考价值。     

东莨菪内酯对朱砂叶螨的驱避和产卵抑制活性

本研究采用叶碟浸渍法测定了东莨菪内酯对朱砂叶螨Tetranychus cinnabarinus(Biosduvals)雌成螨的触杀活性,采用选择性的半叶法测定了驱避活性,同时采用非选择性的全叶法测定了产卵抑制活性。结果表明,东莨菪内酯对朱砂叶螨雌成螨具有较好的触杀活性,采用叶碟浸渍法处理48h后的LC50为0.297mg·mL-1,LC30为0.105mg·mL-1,LC10为0.023mg·mL-1。采用LC50、LC30和LC103个浓度的东莨菪内酯处理雌成螨后,发现东莨菪内酯对雌成螨没有表现出明显的驱避活性,处理区和对照区24h和48h的着螨率均为50%左右;采用LC50和LC102个浓度处理雌成螨后表现出了一定的产卵抑制活性,平均产卵抑制率分别为23.02%和13.23%,而LC30对雌成螨的产卵量表现出了促进作用,平均产卵抑制率为-8.25%,这可能是由于毒物兴奋效应所致。本研究旨在为东莨菪内酯的进一步开发和应用奠定理论基础。     

东莨菪内酯与双脱甲氧基姜黄素对朱砂叶螨致死效应模拟

采用玻片浸渍法测定了植物源杀螨活性物质东莨菪内酯、双脱甲氧基姜黄素及两者联合作用最佳增效配比(东:双=7:6)对朱砂叶螨雌成螨的致死效应,并采用时间-剂量-死亡率(TDM)模型进行模拟.结果表明:所建TDM模型均通过Hosmer-Lemoshow拟合异质性检验,朱砂叶螨雌成螨对3种药剂浓度变化的敏感程度为东莨菪内酯＞两者最佳配比＞双脱甲氧基姜黄素,双脱甲氧基姜黄素、东莨菪内酯和两者最佳配比对朱砂叶螨雌成螨的致死率高峰期分别为处理后32、28和32 h;处理后48 h的LC50和LC90分别为0.3324、0.2035、0.2195mg·mL-1和2.1198、0.9521、1.1617 mg·mL-1;浓度为1.0和2.0 mg·mL-1处理下,LT50分别为7.4、6.0、6.1h和6.4、4.8、5.0h.因此,东莨菪内酯与双脱甲氧基姜黄素最佳配比和东莨菪内酯具有相近的杀螨动态及时间-剂量效应,表现出较好的杀螨活性和增效作用,具有一定的开发利用价值.

Bioactivity of the metabolites from endophytic actinomycete Fq24 against Tetranychus cinnabarinus

An endophytic actinomycete strain Fq24 was isolated from healthy tomato plants. The acaricidal substances in the metabolites from Fq24 were collected and identified by the methods of extraction, column chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and their bioactivities against Tetranychus cinnabarinus were measured with slide-dip and leaf-residue methods. Among the extracts, petroleum ether extract had high bioactivity in contact toxicity and oviposition deterrent against T. cinnabarinus. Its lethal concentration of 50% (LC50) was 52.57 mg x L(-1), and its oviposition deterrent concentration of 50% (ODC50) was 43.18 mg x L(-1). The identification with GC-MS showed that the main chemical component of fraction S11 was methyl hexadecanoate, whose molecular formula was C17H34O2, being one of the substances with acaricidal activity in the metabolites from Fq24. The 24 h corrected mortality rate of female mite at 5 mg x mL(-1) of methyl hexadecanoate was 78.3%, and the oviposition deterrent rate was 81.6%.     

Efficacy of Elettaria cardamomum L. (Zingiberaceae) essential oil on the two spotted spider mite,Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch is the major pest of various plants worldwide. Now the control is dependent on the use of chemical pesticides. Plant compounds are recently known as biopesticides. Essential oil of Elettaria cardamomum was researched on repellent and oviposition inhibition of T. urticae. The LC₅₀ values of fumigant toxicity of this oil on adults and eggs of the two spotted spider mite were 7.26 and 8.82?μL/L air, respectively. Also LT₅₀ value of essential oil at 45?μL/L air was 23.86?h and LT₅₀ value of essential oil at 60?μL/L air was 9.01?h. In addition, different concentrations of the essential oil of E. cardamomum significantly affected oviposition deterrence and repellency of adults. The results of this study indicated that essential oil of E. cardamomum may be considered as a biopesticide to control two spotted spider mites.     

Effect of d-limonene on three stored-product beetles

d-Limonene was investigated for contact and fumigant toxicity, ovicidal effects, oviposition-deterrent, development inhibition, and feeding-deterrent activities against three stored-product beetles (Coleoptera): lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.); rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.); and red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Contact and fumigant toxicity decreased as larvae aged. Contact toxicity was similar for adults of the three species tested, but R. dominica was most susceptible to fumigant activity. T. castaneum oviposition decreased as concentration of d-limonene increased and d-limonene reduced oviposition up to 92.3% at the concentration of 2.14 mg/cm2. Hatching of d-limonene-treated eggs of T. castaneum was reduced by 94.5% with no subsequent larval and adult survival at 2.14 mg/cm2 concentration. A flour disc bioassay indicated 87.7 to 96.8% feeding-deterrency by d-limonene toward all three insect species tested at the highest concentration of 60.0 mg/g food. These results suggest that d-limonene can be effectively used to suppress populations of stored-product beetles.     

水菖蒲超临界CO_2萃取物对德国小蠊的触杀和驱避活性

水菖蒲(Acorus calamus L.)超临界CO2萃取物对德国小蠊Blattella germanica L.同时具有很好的触杀和驱避活性。采用药膜接触法和滤纸药膜选择法,分别研究水菖蒲超临界CO2萃取物对德国小蠊3龄若虫的触杀和驱避活性。结果表明:水菖蒲超临界CO2萃取物对德国小蠊的生物活性存在着明显的浓度-时间-效应。触杀作用中处理试虫12h后,最高浓度124.00μg/cm2的校正死亡率就达到98.33%,24h后达到100%。试虫在处理12h后的LC50为36.45μg/cm2。驱避活性中,最高浓度815.28μg/cm2的驱避率为67.73%,驱避等级达到了Ⅳ级。     

Chemical composition and anti-mosquito potential of rhizome extract and volatile oil derived from Curcuma aromatica against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae).

Crude rhizome extracts and volatile oils of Curcuma aromatica were evaluated for chemical composition and anti-mosquito potential, including larvicidal, adulticidal, and repellent activities against the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Chemical identification achieved by GC/MS analysis revealed that xanthorrhizol, 1H-3a, 7-methanoazulene and curcumene at 35.08 and 13.65%, 21.81 and 30.02%, and 13.75 and 25.71%, were the main constituents in hexane extracts and volatile oils, respectively. Volatile oil of Cu. aromatica possessed a significantly higher larvicidal activity against the 4th instar larvae of Ae. aegypti than that of hexane extracts, with LC50 values of 36.30 and 57.15 ppm, respectively. In testing for adulticidal activity, on the other hand, hexane-extracted Cu. aromatica (LC50: 1.60 microg/mg female) was found to be slightly more effective against female Ae. aegypti than volatile oil (LC50: 2.86 microg/mg female). However, the repellency of these two products against Ae. aegypti adult females differed significantly. The hexane-extracted Cu. aromatica, with a median complete protection time of 1 h (range = 1-1.5 h) when applied at a concentration of 25%, appeared to have significantly higher repellency than that of distillate oil (0.5 h, range = 0-0.5 h). The different results obtained from both products of Cu. aromatica were probably due to variety in quantity and type of active ingredients as well as the biological and physiological characteristics that differed between both developmental stages of mosquitoes, larvae, and adults.     

Toxicity, feeding deterrence, and effect of activity of 1,8-cineole from Artemisia annua on progeny production of Tribolium castanaeum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

1,8-Cineole isolated from Artemisia annua was tested against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) for contact toxicity, fumigant toxicity, and antifeedant activity. The adults of T. castaneum were more susceptible than larvae to both contact and fumigant toxicity of 1,8-cineole, and LD50 and LC50 values of 108.4 microg/mg body weight of adult insect and 1.52 mg/liter air were found, respectively. Furthermore, 14-d-old T. castaneum larvae were more tolerant than 16- and 18-d-old larvae and adults to the contact toxicity of 1,8-cineole, but the 16- and 18-d-old larvae have similar susceptibility. In contrast, all the larvae (14-18 d old) of T. castaneum were much more tolerant than the adults to the fumigant action, but larvae of different ages had similar susceptibility. The compound 1,8-ciineole applied to filter paper at a concentration of 3.22-16.10 mg/cm2 significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the hatching of T. castaneum eggs and the subsequent survival rate of the larvae. Adult emergence was also reduced by 1,8-cineole. Feeding deterrence of 81.9% was achieved in T. castateum adults by using a concentration of 121.9 mg/g food, whereas larvae showed 68.8% at the same concentration.
