Toxicological interactions in insects exposed to simple mixtures containing botanical monoterpenes and conventional insecticides
(Juniper Publishers, 2020-11)
Due to its low toxicity in mammals and very low environmental impact, some botanical monoterpenes with insecticidal activity are an attractive alternative to conventional insecticides. There is extensive literature on the ...
Behavioural and toxicological responses of Blattella germanica (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) to monoterpenes
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2012-10)
Certain monoterpenes produced by aromatic plants are known to have lethal and sublethal effects on insects. As there is a need to replace conventional pesticides (organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids) with biorational ...
Fumigant insecticidal activity and repellent effect of five essential oils and seven monoterpenes on first-instar nymphs of Rhodnius prolixus
(Entomological Society of America, 2009-05)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fumigant and repellent activity of five essential oils (from eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, mint, and orange oil) and seven monoterpenes (eucalyptol, geraniol, limonene, linalool, ...
Botanical monoterpenes synergise the toxicity of azamethiphos in the vector of Chagas disease, Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-12)
objective To investigate what toxicological interactions occur when binary combinations of azamethiphos and botanical monoterpenes (eugenol, menthol or menthyl acetate) are applied to Triatoma infestans. methods The toxicity ...
Simple colorimetric method to determine the in vitro antioxidant activity of different monoterpenes
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-08)
The development of simple, fast and reproducible techniques that provide information about the antioxidant activity (AA) of different compounds is essential to screen and discover new molecules with potential applications ...
Toxicity to vapor exposure and topical application of essential oils and monoterpenes on musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae)
(Entomological Society of America, 2009-06)
The medical and veterinary pest Musca domestica L. has developed resistance to most insecticides used against it. For this reason, there is a constant search for new alternative control tools. The aims of this study were ...
Development of an electrochemical method to determine phenolic monoterpenes in essential oils
(Elsevier Science, 2019-05)
A simple, rapid and non-expensive method is proposed to determine phenolic monoterpenes such as thymol and carvacrol in essential oils of thyme and oregano. The linear sweep voltammetry based on glassy carbon electrodes ...
Monoterpenes affect chlorodiazepoxide–micelle interaction through micellar dipole potential modifications
(Elsevier Science, 2003-10)
The ability of several natural terpenes to affect benzodiazepine (BZD)-micelle interaction through the membrane dipolar organization was investigated. The acid-base equilibrium of chlorodiazepoxide (CDX) and the spectroscopic ...
Improving phenolic total content and monoterpene in mentha x piperita by using salicylic acid or methyl jasmonate combined with rhizobacteria inoculation
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-01)
The effects of plant inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and those resulting from the exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) or methyl jasmonte (MeJA) on total phenolic content (TPC) and ...
Monoterpenes as potential tools to improve the activity of synthetic anthelmintics: pharmacological screening of their effects on drug metabolism and intestinal accumulation
(World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology, 2021)
The search for novel alternatives to control gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants is relevant considering the increasing of anthelmintic resistance. The use of monoterpenes may contribute to improving parasite control ...
