Abstract

Mentha longifolia (L.) and Lavandula dentata (L.) (Lamiaceae) are two wild growing folk medicine plants that in Saudi Arabia. This work was conducted to investigate the chemical composition and evaluate the fumigant toxicity of their essential oils against the adults (3-5-day-old) of cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae). The main compounds in M. longifolia oil were pulegone (74.95%), 1,8-cineole (7.35%), l-menthone (6.62%), and eucarvone (2.68%), while the main constituents in L. dentata oil were camphor (61.43%), fenchone (24.3%), d-fenchol (2.15%), and linalool (1.52%). The two oils showed LC50 values of 4.43 and 7.92 µl/L air and exhibited antiacetylcholinesterase activity with IC50 values of 1.01 and 9.74 µl/ml, respectively. The results proved the potential use of these natural materials as effective alternatives to synthetic pesticides

Suudi Mentha longifolio ve Lavandula dentata türlerinin Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)'a karşi fümigant toksisite ve antiasetilkolinesteraz etkinliği

Abstract

Mentha longifolia (L.) ve Lavandula dentata (L.) (Lamiaceae) Suudi Arabistan’da bulunan iki yabani akraba tıbbi bitkidir. Bu çalışma, bu bitkilerin kimyasal bileşimini araştırmak ve depolanan bakliyatın önemli bir zararlısı olan börülce tohum böceği [Callosobruchus maculatus (F) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)] erginine (3-5-gün yaşında) karşı esansiyel yağların fümigant toksisitesini değerlendirmek için yapılmıştır. M. longifolia yağı içinde ana bileşikler, pulegon (% 74,95), 1,8-cineole (% 7.35), l-menton (% 6.62) ve eucarvone (% 2.68) iken L. dentata’da ana bileşenler ise kamfor (% 61.43), fenkon (% 24.3), d-fenkol (% 2.15) ve linalool (% 1.52)’dur. İki yağ sırasıyla 4,43 ve 7.92 µl/L hava LC50 ve, 1,007 ve 9,74 µl/ml IC50 değerleri ile antiasetilkolinesteraz aktivitesi göstermiştir. Sonuçlar bu doğal materyallerin tehlikeli sentetik pestisitlerin yerine etkili alternatif olarak potansiyel kullanımını kanıtlamıştır. Esansiyel yağların geleneksel pestisitlere göre avantajlari ortaya konmuştur
