c Short Communication Research & Reviews: Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis Vol. 9, Iss. 3 2020 Mass Spectrometry Congress 2019: Assessment of natural biorational extracts from ipomea carnea (jacq.) Against littoralis (boisd.) - Mamdouh I Nassar - Cairo University, Egypt Mamdouh I Nassar Cairo University, Egypt The cotton leaf worm, Spodopetra littoralis plant also has medicinal value. It contains a (Boisd.) is a highly polyphagous that component identical to marsiline, a sedative causes serious damages to more than 112 and an anticonvulsant. A glycosidic saponin plant species belonging to 44 different has also been purified from I. carnea with families in . The toxic effect of Ipomea anticarcinogenic and oxytoxic properties. A carnea extracts against fourth instar larvae of selection of I. carnea, 'Inducer', has been used Spodoptera littoralis was evaluated under as a rootstock to induce flowering of sweet laboratory conditions. Based on LC50 and potato cultivars which, on the other hand, are LC90 values, Ipomea carnea extracts were reluctant to produce flowers. refers to I. recorded (24.622 and 164.947 ppm leptophylla. respectively) for the most potent one Spodoptera littoralis, also called African (acetonic extract) followed by hexane cotton budworm or Egyptian cotton (232.677 and 15377.590 ppm respectively) budworm or Mediterranean brocade, is a and finally the alcoholic extract which species of in the family . S. doesn’t reveal any toxicity until five days littoralis is found widely in Africa, post treatment. Ultra structure sections were Mediterranean Europe and countries of the made for the epithelial cell of midgut and Middle East. It is a highly polyphagous muscles for 4th instars larvae treated with organism which is a pest of many plants and LC25 and LC50 of acetonic extract of I. crops. As a result, this species has been carnea which caused vacuolization in the labeled as an A2 quarantine pest by EPPO cytoplasm, degeneration of organelles and and has been warned as a highly invasive destruction of the plasma membrane species in the United States. The devastating according to the ultrastructure studies on S. effects caused by these pests have led to the littoralis larvae. development of biological and chemical Ipomoea carnea is a species of morning control methods. This butterfly is often glory. This flowering plant has heart-shaped confused with . The leaves that are rich green and are 6 to 9 inches Egyptian cotton budworm is one of many long. It can be easily grown from poisonous species in the genus Spodoptera and the seeds and it can be dangerous to livestock; the family Noctuidae. The family Noctuidae was toxicity is linked to the swainsonine named by a French zoologist, Pierre André produced by the endophytes and to the Latreille, in 1809 and the genus Noctuidae bioaccumulation of selenium species in the was named by a French entomologist, Achille leaves but especially in the seeds. The stem Guenée, in 1852. Many species of the genus of I. carnea can be used to make paper. The Spodoptera are known to be insect pests.

Synonyms of S. littoralis include Hadena 2020 littoralis and Prodenia littoralis. Due to the in Spain, France, Italy and Greece. As the similarities between many insect pests, there African cotton budworm is cold prone, the have been noted incidents of many species species' natural range is limited in areas of which are almost identical to S. littoralis. For northern Europe such as the United example, Spodoptera litura or cotton Kingdom. The optimum temperature for the budworm is often confused with S. littoralis species' reproductive potential is around 25 ° because the larvae and adult stages of two C, so areas with lower winter temperatures or species are almost identical. However, Viette fluctuating temperatures exhibit a limited demonstrated that they were two different species distribution. Studies have shown that species, as S. litura resided mainly in Asia, temperatures above 40 ° C or below 13 ° C and the Pacific Islands. show increased mortality. The combination The adult butterfly has a size that varies from of high temperature and low humidity is 15 to 20 mm and a wingspan of 30 to 38 mm. detrimental to the survival of the species as The forewings of the species are gray-brown temperatures above 40 ° C or below 13 ° C in color and have an ocellus constructed by tend to increase the mortality rate. As a result, oblique white lines. The hind wings are S. littoralis resides in regions where generally much paler and have gray margins. temperature fluctuations are rare to feed on Spodoptera littoralis is often confused with various host plants, in which females lay eggs Spodoptera litura due to the similar larvae and larvae mainly grow. Species distribution and adult physical appearances. A bright occurs primarily through trade when eggs or yellow band along the dorsal surface of the larvae are found on ornamentals or imported larvae is characteristic of S. litura. However, crops. Adult butterflies are often distributed due to the variability of the markings, the by the wind but are also carried by other only sure way to tell the two species apart is species. Adult butterflies also fly. to compare the genitals. Specifically, the There are many recorded species and families ductus and ostium bursae are known to be the of plants on which the S. littoralis larvae feed. same length in S. littoralis females, but Specifically, the range of host plants that S. different in S. litura females. Likewise, littoralis feeds on covers more than 40 Prodenia ornithogalli has been reported to be different plant families and at least 87 an American representative of S. littoralis different plant species. Larvae of S. littoralis because the forms of the two species are prefer to feed on young leaves, young shoots, extremely close and related. stems, capsules, buds and fruits. Some of The African cotton budworm is native to these host plants are also known to affect Africa and also resides in most parts of larval growth. Middle Eastern countries like Israel, Syria, Biography: and Turkey. Specifically, the species' natural habitat is F5 (EUNIS code), which is semi- Mamdouh I Nassar is a Professor of Bio- arid and subtropical habitats in pre-Saharan active Natural products, Bioinformatics, Africa. This species has also been found in Biological and Toxicological Sciences, southern and Mediterranean Europe, mainly Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Egypt.
