Whole Plant

The chemical composition of the essential oil from the whole plant of Acalypha segetalis Muell. Arg. was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Nineteen volatile constituents were identified. The main compounds were α-pinene (8.5%), neophytadiene, isomer II (14.7%) and neophytadiene, isomer III (33.6%). Toxicity and larvicidal assays revealed that the plant had LC50 values of 14.0 μg/mL and 45.4 μg/mL respectively.

The chemical constituents of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the leaves of Eugenia triquetra O. Berg, collected in Táchira State, Venezuela, were identified by GC-MS analysis. Twenty-six components, which made up 88.5% of the oil, were identified. The major constituents were linalool (17.5%), limonene (16.9%), α-pinene (11.6%), β-pinene (8.7%), and p-cymene (3.7%). The essential oil was tested against third-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti, showing a LC50 value of 64.8 ± 5.6 ppm.
