The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation (3h) and identified by GC/MS. In addition, a multivariate exploratory analysis was done to determine the analysis of the major compounds (PCA). The bioassays on R. sanguineus larvae were done by immersion test at different EO concentrations which ranged from 50,000 to 0.47 mg/mL (v/v). The action mechanism of EOs were determined by bioautographic method evaluating the inhibitory potential on the acetylcholinesterase enzyme. The EO yield in leaves was 0.29±0.22 (%) and in flower buds 0.38±0.17 (%). The class projections showed oxygenated sesquiterpenes (43.62%) and diterpenes (15.60%) in EOFB, and hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes (26.44%) and oxygenated monoterpenes (16.44%) in EOL. Four components presented a greater distancing of mass flow: fenchone (11.57 and 6.01 %), α-cadinol (12.21 and 13.69 %), 14-hidroxy-9-epi-caryophyllene (8.56 and 15.38 %), and caryophyllene oxide (1.32 and 4.50 %) in EOL and EOFB, respectively. The lethal concentrations (LCs) to kill R. sanguineus larvae were (LC50: 2.18±0.24 and LC99.9: 9.98±0.10 mg/mL) for EOL, and (LC50: 5.36±2.50 and LC99.9: 20.12±0.54 mg/mL) for EOFB. The action mechanism of EOs by bioautographic methods indicated an inhibition of 0.70 mg/mL (EOL) and 1.40 mg/mL (EOFB) on the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE). Therefore, this species can be considered promising to be part of the chemical larvicides to control this ectoparasite.

Introduction Rhipicephalus sanguineus, a cosmopolitan tick is probably than it has been imagined (Cunha et al., 2009; Salkeld et al., the most distributed ixodid worldwide (Szabó et al., 2009), 2019). and has been found more and more often in man’s home The control of this mite happens with the utilization of and peridomicilliary environments of the main urban host of chemical acaricides from the classes of Isoxazolines this ectoparasite, the domestic dog Canis familiaris (Paz et (Afoxolaner, Fluralaner, Sarolaner and Lotilaner), al., 2008). In dogs, besides the direct damages, this Phenylpyrazoles (Fipronyl), Spinozins (Spinosad), ectoparasite is responsible for the transmission of Ehrlichia Neonicotinoids (Nitempiram), Carbamates and canis, Babesia canis, Haemobartonella canis and Organophosphates (Pereira et al., 2008; Raimundo et al., Hepatozoon canis. In humans, it is the vector of Rickettsia 2017); however, the indiscriminate use of these substances conorii and Rickettsia rickettsia, and this diagnosis is resulted in the selection of resistant populations especially important once there have been reports on (Jeyathilakan et al., 2019). In Brazil, R. sanguineus resistance human parasitism by tick in Brazil (Borges et al., 2007). The to some pyrethroids were recorded by Fernandes (2001), growing number of cases of human parasitism by R. and since then the literature has been reporting that several sanguineus has indicated that the interaction between synthetic acaricides have lost or reduced their efficiency due human beings and R. sanguineus may be more common to the development of resistant strains (Brito et al., 2011). Another problem regards the number of animal and human 1608 poisonings mostly by organophosphates and carbamates projection showed oxygenated sesquiterpenes (43.62%) and (Raimundo et al., 2017; Bortolucci et al., 2018) due to the oxygenated diterpenes (15.60%) in EOFB; and hydrocarbon easy product acquisition and their indiscriminate utilization sesquiterpenes (26.44%) and oxygenated monoterpenes (Xavier et al., 2007). (16.44%) in EOL) (Fig 1). Therefore, alternative controls have been studied and, Grouping by ACP was done including the major compounds therefore, the exploration of plants as efficient sources of identified in EO from leaves and flower buds. Four botanical acaricides is promising and must be motivated compounds out of them presented greater distancing of (Sugauara et al., 2019). The utilization of secondary mass flow: L-fenchone (11.57 % and 6.01 %), α-cadinol (1.21 phytochemical metabolites have been able to interfere in % and 13.69 %), 14-hidroxy-9-epi-caryophyllene (8.56 % and arthropods’ physiology such as neuroendocrine systems, 15.38 %) and caryophyllene oxide (1.32 % and 4.50 %), feeding, metamorphoses, vulnerable points to population respectively (Fig 2). control based on arthropods’ life cycle (Garcia and Azambuja, 2004). Larvicidal activity by Larval Packet Test Interest in the development of pesticide products with essential oils is based on studies that showed that they have The results found for larvicidal activity of T. riparia EOL and repellent, fumigating, larvicidal and adulticide action EOFB on Rhipicephalus sanguineus ae shown in Table 2. The (Tripathi and Mishra, 2016). The insecticide effect of lethal concentrations (CLs) found to kill Rhipicephalus essential oils occurs due to the variability of phytochemical sanguineus larvae are presented in Table 3. Another standards and the way this phytomolecules penetrate the important aspect within this study was to determine which organism considering that essential oils can be inhaled, action mechanism of the EO acted on R. sanguineus larvae. ingested or absorbed by the skin of insects (Magalhães et al., The Utilized protocol was based on the evaluation of the 2015). Another advantage to the use of essential oils regards inhibitory capacity of EOS on the acetylcholinesterase their fast degradation in the environment and their enzyme by bioautographic method and whose results are increased specificity that favors benefic insects (Tripathi et shown on Table 4. The leaves essential oil presented greater al., 2009). Little is known on the physiological actions of larvicidal activity (CL99.9 9.98 mg/mL) when compared to the essential oils on insects, but Kostyukovsky et al. (2002) essential oil from flower buds (CL99.9 20.12 mg/mL). This suggested a neurotoxic action as it was shown with linalool difference can be related to the greater amount of that acts on the nervous system, affecting the ionic hydrocarbon and oxygenated monoterpenes in EOL (23.21%) transport and the release of acetylcholinesterase in insects when compare to EOFB (10.80%) according to Table 1 and (Junior, 2003). This action mechanism was demonstrated in Figures 1 and 2, because, according to Tripathi and Mishra our study where T. riparia essential oil acted out by (2016), monoterpenes present insecticide potential and, inhibiting acetylcholinesterase enzyme. according to Lee et al. (2004), this potential can be explained Tetradenia riparia (Hochst) Codd, from the Lamiaceae by the fact that the compounds are volatile, lipophilic and family (Souza and Lorenzi, 2005; Martins et al., 2008), is a able to quickly penetrate inside insects interfering in their plant utilized in popular medicine, and the essential oil physiological functions. Analyzing the chemical composition extracted from its leaves has been used to treat malaria, of T. riparia essential oil, four monoterpenes are found in criptococosis, candidiasis and respiratory infections (Van greater amount in EOL when compared to EOFB: L-fenchone Puyvelde et al., 1986; Campbell et al., 1997; Okem et al., (11.57; 6.01%), limonene (1.16; 0.37%), L-camphor (2.38; 2012, York et al., 2012).

  • Antioxidant and Acetylcholinesterase-Inhibitory Properties of Long-Term Stored Medicinal Plants Stephen O Amoo, Adeyemi O Aremu, Mack Moyo and Johannes Van Staden*
    Amoo et al. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2012, 12:87 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/12/87 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory properties of long-term stored medicinal plants Stephen O Amoo, Adeyemi O Aremu, Mack Moyo and Johannes Van Staden* Abstract Background: Medicinal plants are possible sources for future novel antioxidant compounds in food and pharmaceutical formulations. Recent attention on medicinal plants emanates from their long historical utilisation in folk medicine as well as their prophylactic properties. However, there is a dearth of scientific data on the efficacy and stability of the bioactive chemical constituents in medicinal plants after prolonged storage. This is a frequent problem in African Traditional Medicine. Methods: The phytochemical, antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory properties of 21 medicinal plants were evaluated after long-term storage of 12 or 16 years using standard in vitro methods in comparison to freshly harvested materials. Results: The total phenolic content of Artemisia afra, Clausena anisata, Cussonia spicata, Leonotis intermedia and Spirostachys africana were significantly higher in stored compared to fresh materials. The flavonoid content were also significantly higher in stored A. afra, C. anisata, C. spicata, L. intermedia, Olea europea and Tetradenia riparia materials. With the exception of Ekebergia capensis and L. intermedia, there were no significant differences between the antioxidant activities of stored and fresh plant materials as measured in the β-carotene-linoleic acid model system. Similarly, the EC50 values based on the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay were generally lower for stored than fresh material. Percentage inhibition of acetylcholinesterase was generally similar for both stored and fresh plant material.

    DETECTION OF SELECTIVE TYROSINASE INHIBITORS FROM SOME SOUTH AFRICAN PLANT EXTRACTS OF LAMIACEAE FAMILY By Ninon Geornest Eudes Ronauld ETSASSALA A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Chemistry Faculty of Natural Sciences University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Co-supervisor: Prof. Emmanuel Iwuoha AUGUST 2016 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Various dermatological disorders, such as formation of black pigmented patches on the surface of the skin arise from the over-activity of tyrosinase enzyme’s degenerative action. This enzyme is further implicated in the involvement of melanin in malignant melanoma, the most life- threatening skin tumors. Although, synthetic products were found effective to combat this menace, nevertheless, overtime detrimental effect on human skin is a challenge. Investigation of natural tyrosinase inhibitors from methanol extracts of medicinal plants of Lamiaceae family using L-tyrosine as substrate on three different complementary assays (TLC bio-autography, spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry) was carried out accordingly. The result indicated Salvia chamelaeagnea, Salvia dolomitica, Plectranthus ecklonii, Plectranthus namaensis, and Plectranthus zuluensis, with significant zone of inhibition against tyrosinase on TLC bio-autography, spectrophotometry result showed that extracts of Plectranthus ecklonii (IC50 = 21.58 휇g/mL), Plectranthus zuluensis (IC50 = 23.99 휇g/mL), Plectranthus madagascariensis (IC50 = 23.99 휇g/mL) and Salvia lanceolata (IC50 = 28.83) demonstrated good anti-tyrosinase activity when compared with kojic acid (IC50 = 3.607 μg/mL). On the other hand, cyclic voltammetry are in consonant with above results thereby supported the nomination of some of the extracts as strong anti-tyrosinase agents.

Box 524, Auckland Park 2006, South Africa Received 2 July 2011; received in revised form 26 August 2011; accepted 26 August 2011 Abstract Southern Africa is an important focal point of botanical and cultural diversity but only a few plant species have hitherto become fully commer- cialised as medicinal products. In recent years there has been an upsurge in research and development activity, resulting in several new products and new crops. In this review, more than 90 of the best-known and most promising indigenous South African plants are listed and subjectively evaluated in the context of their potential for commercialisation as medicinal products for a variety of applications. The history of product devel- opment relating to the following species is briefly discussed and the plants and some of their products are illustrated: Agathosma betulina (buchu), Aloe ferox (bitter aloe), Artemisia afra (African wormwood), Aspalathus linearis (rooibos tea), Bulbine frutescens (burn jelly plant); Cyclopia gen- istoides (honeybush tea), Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw), Hoodia gordonii (hoodia, ghaap), Hypoxis hemerocallidea (“African pota- to”), Lippia javanica (fever tea), Mesembryanthemum tortuosum (=Sceletium tortuosum)(kanna, kougoed), Pelargonium sidoides (“Umckaloabo”), Siphonochilus aethiopicus (African ginger), Sutherlandia frutescens (=Lessertia frutescens) (cancer bush), Warburgia salutaris (pepperbark tree) and Xysmalobium undulatum (“Uzara”). The main factors that are apparently responsible for failure or success will be highlight- ed, especially the importance of marketing strategy, proof of concept and barriers to market entry.

  • The Botanical, Chemical and Ethnobotanical Diversity of Southern African Lamiaceae
    molecules Review The Botanical, Chemical and Ethnobotanical Diversity of Southern African Lamiaceae Ryan D. Rattray and Ben-Erik Van Wyk * Department of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park, P.O. Box 524, Johannesburg 2006, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-11-559-2412 Abstract: The Lamiaceae is undoubtedly an important plant family, having a rich history of use that spans the globe with many species being used in folk medicine and modern industries alike. Their ability to produce aromatic volatile oils has made them valuable sources of materials in the cosmetic, culinary, and pharmaceutical industries. A thorough account of the taxonomic diversity, chemistry and ethnobotany is lacking for southern African Lamiaceae, which feature some of the region’s most notable medicinal and edible plant species. We provide a comprehensive insight into the Lamiaceae flora of southern Africa, comprising 297 species in 42 genera, 105 of which are endemic to the subcontinent. We further explore the medicinal and traditional uses, where all genera with documented uses are covered for the region. A broad review of the chemistry of southern African Lamiaceae is presented, noting that only 101 species (34%) have been investigated chemically (either their volatile oils or phytochemical characterization of secondary metabolites), thus presenting many and varied opportunities for further studies. The main aim of our study was therefore to present an up-to-date account of the botany, chemistry and traditional uses of the family in southern Africa, and Citation: Rattray, R.D.; Van Wyk, to identify obvious knowledge gaps.

Recently, a study showed that T. riparia essential oil (TrEO) obtained in summer has antileishmanial effects, although these results could be influenced by seasonal variation. This study evaluated the activity of the TrEO obtained in different seasons against Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, in vitro and in vivo. The compounds in the TrEO were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; terpenoids were present and oxygenated sesquiterpenes were the majority compounds (55.28%). The cytotoxicity and nitric oxide (NO) production were also tested after TrEO treatment. The TrEO from all seasons showed a 50% growth inhibitory concentration for promastigotes of about 15 ng/mL; at 30 ng/mL and 3 ng/mL, the TrEO reduced intracellular amastigote infection, independently of season. The TrEO from plants harvested in summer had the highest 50% cytotoxic concentration, 1,476 ng/mL for J774.A1 macrophages, and in spring (90.94 ng/mL) for murine macrophages.

Metal nanoparticles have important applications in medicine and agriculture. The leaves of Tetradenia riparia (Iboza), an important medicinal species in South Africa, are reported to contain various terpenoids and pyrones which can be used in the reduction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) to nano-silver particles. Materials and Methods: Fresh leaves and stems of Iboza were oven-dried, crushed, extracted in water and methanol and filtered followed by incubation with AgNO3. Synthesized nano-silver particles were characterised using ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Results: The bio-reduction of metal ion to base metal was rapidly conducted in a single step and at room temperature and pressure. UV-Vis spectra showed the characteristic surface plasmon resonance band of the synthesized nano-silver particles at 410 nm for all extracts. SEM analysis revealed predominantly aggregated spherically-shaped nano-silver particles with a size range of 20-50 nm and an average diameter of 26 nm.
