An experiment has been conducted to find out the toxic effect of acetone extract of Sapium indicum seed, petroleum ether extract of Thevetia neriifolia seed kernel and Jatropha gossypifolia seed on the fecundity and fertility of Tribolium castaneum and Tribolium confusum. The results indicated that all the treatments significantly (P < 0.001) reduced the fecundity and fertility of both the insect species. However Jatropha gossypifolia seed extract did not reduce significantly the fertility of Tribolium castaneum in comparison with the control but a decline of fertility was observed with the increase of dose of treatment.

The effect of different doses of Trichosanthes palmata (Makal) seed extract, viz. 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000 and 16000 ppm on the growth and development of Tribolium castaneum and T. confusum was assessed. All the treatments significantly reduced the weight of T. castaneum and T. confusum. Treatments significantly lengthened the larval and pupal periods of both the species. Significantly lower pupal recovery and adult emergence were also observed.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ujzru.v30i0.10735Univ. j. zool. Rajshahi Univ. Vol. 30, 2011 pp. 17-20


In the present study crude seed extracts of Persia Americana Mill (Avocado) was prepared using petroleum ether, methanol, ethyl acetate and aqueous solvents. The phytochemical screening of different crude extracts were studied for the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, protein, phenols, tannins, saponin, triterpenoids, glycosides, phytosterols, gums and mucilage. The crude seed extracts were pharmacologically evaluated for its antiinflammatory efficacy. The results obtained clearly demonstrated that out of the screened crude extracts, petroleum ether extract possess better pharmacological activities. From the GC-MS and FTIR analysis of petroleum ether extract 5 major compounds were identified and considered to play a key role in the overall pharmacological efficacy of avocado seed extract.

An experiment was carried out to investigate the efficacy of contact toxicity of different fractions of petroleum ether extract of Zinziber cassumunar Roxb. rhizome against Tribolium castaneum. Seventy-eight different fractions of petroleum ether extract were obtained from column chromatography. Elutes having the similar TLC behavior were combined in eight fractions and were named as: MN-1, MN-2, MN-3, MN-4, MN-5, MN-6, MN-7 and MN-8. Four separate fractions were collected from the MN-1 fraction by preparative thin layer chromatography. These four parts were washed with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol. Thereafter, these were separated by small column and designated as: M1N1, M1N2, M1N3, M1N4, M2N1, M2N2, M2N3, M2N4, M3N1, M3N2, M3N3, M3N4, M4N1 and M4N2. Fractions of M1N2, M2N2, M3N2 and M4N2 were found to be the most effective against the beetle T. castaneum after 24, 48 and 72 hours. However, some fractions exhibited the moderate effect and other fractions did not work against the beetle.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 50(2), 143-152, 2015

Preliminary phytochemical tests played a significant role in finding and locating chemical constituents which are source of pharmacologically active principles. By consider the medicinal importance of tuber of Acorus calamus, flower of Senna alata and fruit of Solanum torvum, the present study was designed to screen the phytochemical constituents present in such plant parts preliminarily. The phytochemical analyses were conducted by employing standard methods to detect the presence/absence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, phytosterols, proteins, saponins and tannins. The results of present study revealed that alkaloids were found to be present in all the three plants analyzed and all the three solvents extracted, whereas, glycosides and phenols were absent. The acetone extract of Acorus calamus and Solanum torvum showed the presence more number of phytochemicals (4 each) and petroleum ether extract of Senna alata and Solanum torvum revealed the presence of only one compound. The potential active principles of the detected compounds should be quantified and pharmacologically evaluated. Keywords: Preliminary phytochemical analyses, Acorus calamus tuber, Senna alata flower, Solanum torvum fruit.

The efficacy of seven different plant extracts viz. Acorus calamus rhizome, leaves of Datura fastuosa, Datura stramonium and seeds of D. stramonium, Corchorus capsularis, Aphanamixis polystachea and Jatropha curcas on Tribolium confusum adult was studied. Dose mortality experiments were conducted with three solvent (petroleum ether, acetone and methanol) extracts separately but J. curcas seed was tested with petroleum ether extract only. Among three solvents, petroleum ether extract exhibited piquant toxic effect against the beetle at all the intervals although D. fastuosa leaf produces no mortality at 24 hours of treatment. Acetone extract of A. calamus rhizome, D. fastuosa leaf, D. stramonium seed and C. capsularis seed produced mortality at all the intervals but D. stramonium leaf and A. polystachea seed did not show any toxic effect. Methanol extract of C. capsularis seed showed toxicity at all the duration. Key words: Toxic effect, plant extracts, Tribolium confusum.   doi: 10.3329/jbs.v15i0.2153 J. bio-sci. 15: 133-138, 2007

Cypermethrin was applied either alone or in combination with leaf and seed extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) to four strains of the adult red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and the mortality was assessed after 24 and 48 hrs of treatments. The LD50 values were calculated as 0.0072, 0.0105, 0.0056 and 0.0124 μgcm-2 after 24 hours and 0.0041, 0.0076, 0.0046 and 0.0097 μgcm-2 after 48 hours of treatment for the Local, CR-1, FSS-II and CTC-12 strains respectively. The results showed synergism when applied in combined doses of cypermethrin and leaf and seed extracts with petroleum spirit, ethyl acetate and methanol. Leaf extract in acetone had an insignificant effect showing its inertness with cypermethrin excepting 24 hrs after treatment of Local strain and 48 hrs after treatment of CTC-12 strain. Seed extract in methanol in Local strain showed insignificant effect after 24 hrs of treatment but a synergistic effect occurred after 48 hrs of treatment.

Background: The fruits with the seeds of Dracunculus vulgaris Schott. (Araceae) are used against inflammatory diseases in Turkey. Objective: Present study was designed to justify this folkloric usage type of the plant. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of D. vulgaris. Methods: Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts were prepared from the fruits, successively. Carrageenan-, serotonin-, and prostaglandin E2-induced hind paw edema; acetic acid–induced capillary permeability and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate–induced mouse ear edema models were used to assess the antiinflammatory activity of the extracts. The analgesic activity was experienced by using p-benzoquinone-induced abdominal constriction test. Results: The petroleum ether extract displayed the highest activities in all of the used test models compared with the control group. Therefore, the constituents of this extract were determined by using gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS). Linoleic acid was found to be major constituent of the petroleum ether extract of D. vulgaris. Conclusion: This study has provided some justification for the folkloric use of the plant.
