Larvicidal activity of some Cerrado plant extracts against Aedes aegypti Rodrigues, A.M.S. De Paula, J.E. /Degallier, Nicolas /Molez, Jean-François Espindola, L.S. Aedes aegypti larvicides Brazilian Cerrado natural products One hundred ninety hexanic and ethanolic extracts from 27 plant species from the Cerrado biome of Brazil were tested for larvicidal activity against 3rd-stage Aedes aegypti larvae at 500 mu g/ml. Fourteen extracts from 7 species showed activity (> 65% mortality) against the larvae. Of these, Duguetia furfuracea, Piptocarpha rotundifolia, Casearia sylvestris var. lingua, Serjania lethalis, and Xylopia aromatica were active at 56.6, 162.31, 232.4, 285.76, and 384.37 mu g/ml, respectively. Annona crassiflora and Cybistax antisyphilitica showed activity at 23.06 and 27.61 mu g/ml. The larvicidal properties of these species are described for the first time, and may prove to be promising in active chemical compound isolation. 2006 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010038249 fdi:010038249 Rodrigues A.M.S., De Paula J.E., Degallier Nicolas, Molez Jean-François, Espindola L.S..
