    Author: de Omena MC, Navarro DM, de Paula JE, Luna JS, Ferreira de Lima MR, Sant'Ana AE.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2007 Sep; 98(13):2549-56. PubMed ID: 17137781.
    Abstract:
    Larvicidal activities against Aedes aegypti have been determined in the ethanolic extracts obtained from 51 Brazilian medicinal plants. Eleven of the 84 extracts studied showed significant (LC50 < 100 microg mL(-1)) activities against larvae, with extracts from Annona crassiflora (root bark, LC50 = 0.71 microg mL(-1); root wood, LC50 = 8.94 microg mL(-1)) and Annona glabra (seed, LC50 = 0.06 microg mL(-1)) showing the highest activities. The results obtained should be of value in the search for new natural larvicidal compounds.
