We evaluated a hydroalcoholic extract of Sapindus saponaria L. pericarps (ETHOSS), as a candidate to a topical antifungal medicine for onychomycosis. ETHOSS was produced by extracting the crushed fruits in ethanol. The saponin contents were identified and characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. We measured the in vitro antifungal activity against three dermatophyte fungi, isolated from onychomycosis: Trichophyton rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, and T. interdigitale, using broth microdilution tests. The minimum fungicide concentration of ETHOSS ranged from 195.31 to 781.25 μg/mL. The cytotoxicity of the crude extract was tested on the HeLa cell line, and its ability to permeate into healthy human nails by photoacoustic spectroscopy and Fourier transformation infrared spectrometer (FTIR) spectroscopy by attenuated total reflection. Besides its strong antifungal activity, ETHOSS showed low cytotoxicity in human cells. It was able to permeate and reach the full thickness of the nail in one hour, without the aid of facilitating vehicles, and remained there for at least 24 h. These results suggest that ETHOSS has great potential for treating onychomycosis.

The larvicidal potential of the crude ethanolic extracts (CEE) of the stem peel of Sapindus saponaria was evaluated against Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Lethal concentrations (LC), were calculated by preparing CEE solutions at different concentrations in distilled water. Larvae fasted for 14-21 days were utilized in the bioassays, after incubation of engorged females collected from infested environments frequented by dogs in several neighborhoods of Goiânia, GO. Bioassays were performed in a specially constructed biological chamber for testing botanical acaricides, acclimatized to 27±1ºC, RH>80%. The larvae were counted on filter paper envelopes impregnated with the solutions or distilled water and larval mortality observed after 48h. S. saponaria showed good larvicidal activity (LC50 and LC99 of 1994 and 3922ppm, respectively) and the results demonstrated its potential as a botanical acaricide and an alternative control measure for R. sanguineus.

Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a utilização da semeadura direta e a influência de um protetor físico sobre o estabelecimento de espécies florestais nativas em uma área com pastagem e outra com agricultura. O experimento foi executado no Município de São Cristóvão, SE (10º55'20"S e 37º12'00"W), em delineamento em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial, com três repetições. Foram utilizadas sementes de Erythrina velutina Wild., Bowdichia virgilioides Kunth., Guazuma ulmifolia Lam., Machaerium aculeatum Raddi, Lonchocarpus sericeus (Poir) DC. e Sapindus saponaria L. As avaliações feitas em campo foram: emergência, sobrevivência e desenvolvimento inicial das mudas das espécies (altura e diâmetro). Com relação à emergência e sobrevivência de plântulas, houve diferença significativa entre os dois ambientes, com melhores resultados no subsistema agricultura. Considerando o desenvolvimento das espécies, E. velutina destacou-se das demais por ter apresentado as maiores médias de altura e diâmetro nas duas áreas, em ambos os tratamentos. A semeadura direta foi viável na recuperação de áreas degradadas com espécies florestais nativas, nos ambientes estudados.

RESUMO Avaliou-se o efeito de Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Nim), Sapindus saponaria L. (Sabão de soldado), Nim + Piretro + Rotenona, Dimorphandra mollis (Faveira) e Stryphnodendron adstringens (Mart) Coville (Barbatimão) em relação a não-preferência para oviposição e alimentação, atratividade e biologia de Plutella xylostella. Discos foliares de couve (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) cultivar Manteiga foram imersos em cada extrato à concentração de 10% (massa/volume) por 30 segundos para realização dos experimentos. Para o teste sem chance de escolha, os tratamentos que apresentaram menores atratividades foram os extratos de A. indica e D. mollis, e o menor consumo foi em A. indica. Os extratos de A. indica, S. saponaria D. mollis e S. adstringens proporcionaram efeito deterrente na oviposição de P. xylostella. Os tratamentos A. indica, S. saponaria e S. adstringens influênciaram negativamente os parâmetros biológicos da praga.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the larvicidal potential of a crude ethanol extract (CEE) of soapberry Sapindus saponaria stem peel on the cattle tick Boophilus microplus. Tick larvae obtained by incubating engorged females, collected from naturally infested cattle, were placed in envelopes of filter paper impregnated with different concentrations of CEE in the test group, and distilled water in the control group. Four repetitions were made with each solution (n>120). Mortality was observed after 48 hours. Lethal concentration values of 1,258 ppm (LC50) and 6,360 ppm (LC99) were obtained.

The objective of this study was to evaluate different pre-germination treatments, histochemical characteristics and physiological performance of Sapindus saponaria L. seeds as a function of temperature and the germination substrate. The S. saponaria seeds were collected in the municipality of Rio Verde, GO, and analysed through the execution of 2 tests (dormancy breakage and germination tests). Test 1 consisted of 10 treatments for overcoming dormancy, whereas test 2 consisted of a 35-day evaluation of germination on several substrates (paper and sand) under the following 4 temperature conditions: 20, 25, 30°C and alternating 20-30°C (± 0.5°C). The results of the dormancy breakage and germination tests were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the means were compared by the Tukey test. Scarifying S. saponaria seeds with concentrated sulfuric acid for 90 min provided a relatively high speed and percentage of emergence, without causing anatomical damage. Pre-germination treatments using high- (42 °C) or low-(10 °C) temperature stress caused cellular damage in the endosperm region of S. saponaria seeds. The greatest percentage of S. saponaria seeds germinated on a paper substrate at 30°C.
