bioecology of anastrepha alveata stone diptera tephritidae associated with wild plum fruits ximenia americana l Olacaceae
Australian Journal of Crop Science, 2019Co-Authors: Almerinda Amelia Rodrigues Araujo, Raimunda Nonata Santos De Lemos, Jose Ribamar Gusmao Araujo, Paulo Roberto Ramalho Silva, Solange Maria De Franca, Clarice Diniz Alvarenga Corsato, Janaina Marques Mondego, Gislane Da Silva LopesAbstract:Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are considered important pests of fruticulture due to considerable losses to production and limitation to free transit of fresh fruits. A generalist species is cresature that can live or feed on a wide variety of environemnts or host plants. Although, 'Anastrepha' is a generalist species but infests a small range of plants. The specificity of this species with host plants is a peculiar characteristic of genus 'Anastrepha'. Therefore, it is important to understand the host species and its feeding behaviour on host plants. This way, we will better know its ecology, biology and evolution for rational control ways and measures. Therefore, this study aimed at understanding the biology of 'Anastrepha alveata' Stone (Diptera: Tephritidae). A study was carried out under controlled laboratory conditions (27 +- 2 degreesC temperature, 70 +- 5% RH, photoperiod 12 hours) during the period from November/2015 to October/2017. 'Anastrepha alveata' adults were obtained from wild plum fruits 'Ximenia americana' L. (Olacaceae), collected from Savanna area in two fructification periods. One-hundred and fifty 'Anastrepha alveata' adults were collected (60 females and 90 males) to determine sexual maturity, mating behavior, fecundity and longevity. The sexual maturity for 'Anastrepha alveata' was 8-13 days after emergence for females. At this age they emitted signal of acceptance for mating and copulation. For males, 5-7 days after emergence this mating signals was given, which was characterized by the protrusion of the lateral abdominal pleural glands. The mating rhythm of 'Anastrepha alveata' was crepuscular/nocturnal, beginning around 6 p.m. and extending to/after 9 p.m. 'Anastrepha alveata' females did not mate with more than one male but mated more than once. The number of males did not affect significantly the mating time, the number of eggs and the longevity of 'Anastrepha alveata'. The mean pupal period for 'Anastrepha alveata' was 17.5 days. Two preferential peaks for adult emergence were observed at 10:00 am and 03:00 pm. The longevity of the adult insects was greater than 300 days, surviving until the fructification of its host (wild plum) in the following year. Therefore, 'A. alveata' has a strictly monophagous food habit associated with the 'Ximenia americana' host.

hplc profile and antiedematogenic activity of ximenia americana l Olacaceae in mice models of skin inflammation
Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2018Co-Authors: Bruno Anderson Fernandes Da Silva, Almir Goncalves Wanderley, Roger Henrique Sousa Da Costa, Cicera Norma Fernandes, Laura Hevila Inocencio Leite, Jaime Ribeirofilho, Tatiana Rodrigues Garcia, Henrique Douglas Melo Coutinho, Irwin Rose Alencar De MenezesAbstract:Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-edematogenic activity of X. americana L. (HEXA) hydroethanolic extract in ear edema models (acute and chronic) induced by croton oil and by different phlogistic agents (arachidonic acid, capsaicin, phenol and histamine), identifying the possible anti-edematogenic mechanism. HEXA demonstrated a significant anti-edematogenic effect at concentrations of 100–500 μg/ear in ear edema induced by croton oil with higher inhibition of edema of 39.37. However, the concentrations of 100 and 200 μg/ear were taken as a standard, demonstrating the effect in the chronic model induced by croton oil with inhibition of 61.62% and 48.74%. In the AA-induced ear edema model, HEXA showed inhibition of: 24.45% and 32.31%; capsaicin inhibition of 72.72% and 47.57%; phenol inhibition of 34% and 20.1%; and histamine inhibition of 31.8% and 21.62%. Then, the results were showed that HEXA demonstrated an anti-edematogenic effect in acute and chronic inflammation models, demonstrating a probable mechanism of action by the inhibition or modulation of key mediators of the inflammatory process. The chemical profile and presence of flavonoids guaranteeing a profile of activity similar to natural drugs that act or modulate the production of mediators of inflammations.

contribution of secondary metabolites to the gastroprotective effect of aqueous extract of ximenia americana l Olacaceae stem bark in rats
Molecules, 2018Co-Authors: Ticiana P Aragao, Lady Dayane Kalline Travassos Dos Prazeres, Samara Alves Brito, Pedro Jose Rolim Neto, Larissa Araujo Rolim, Jackson Roberto Guedes Da Silva Almeida, Germana Freire Rocha Caldas, Almir Goncalves WanderleyAbstract:Ximenia americana L. (Olacaceae) is used in ethnomedicine as cicatrizant and for the treatment of gastric disorders. This study identified the chemical constituents of the aqueous extract of X. americana (XaAE) and evaluated its antiulcerogenic activity. After lyophilization, XaAE was analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and its antiulcerogenic effect was evaluated in acute gastric lesions induced by ethanol, acidified ethanol, and indomethacin. Antisecretory action, mucus production and the participation of sulfhydryl groups (–SH) and nitric oxide (NO) were also investigated. The chromatographic analysis identified procyanidins B and C and catechin/epicatechin as major compounds. Oral administration of XaAE (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) inhibited the gastric lesions induced by ethanol (76.1%, 77.5% and 100%, respectively), acidified ethanol (44.9%, 80.6% and 94.9%, respectively) and indomethacin (56.4%, 52.7% and 64.9%, respectively). XaAE reduced gastric contents and acidity (51.4% and 67.7%, respectively) but did not alter the production of gastric mucus. The reduction of the -SH and NO groups promoted by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and Nω-nitro-l-arginine-methyl-ester (L-NAME) respectively, reduced the gastroprotective effect of XaAE. In conclusion, XaAE has gastroprotective activity mediated in part by -SH, NO and antisecretory activity. This antiulcer action was initially correlated to its major constituents, procyanidins B and C and catechin/epicatechin.

acute toxicity and anti inflammatory activity of aqueous ethanol extract of root bark of ximenia americana l Olacaceae
African Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2011Co-Authors: Onifade Alfattah Olabissi, Ouedraogo Moussa, Ouedraogo Moustapha, Zongo Frank Edgard, O Eleonore, Lompo Marius, Guissou Innocent PierreAbstract:Ximenia americana L. (Olacaceae) is a folk medicinal plant used in Burkina Faso to treat inflammatory, noxious and infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate anti-inflammatory properties of aqueous ethanol extract of root bark of the plant and evaluate its acute toxicity. Carrageenan was used to induce oedema and leukocyte migration; acetic acid was used to induce vascular permeability in order to evaluate anti-inflammatory properties of the plant extract. The acute toxicity was evaluated using mice. The aqueous ethanol extract of X. americana administered intraperitoneally is fairly toxic in mice with a LD50 of 345 mg/kg of body weight. The extract inhibited paw swelling, polymorphonuclear neutrophil and leukocyte migration induced by carrageenan. Moreover, the extract (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg) reduced vascular permeability induced by acetic acid. Aqueous ethanol extract of root bark of X. americana (Olacaceae) possesses anti- inflammatory properties by inhibiting oedema, pain, cell migration and increased vascular permeability. Key words: Ximenia americana, anti-inflammatory activity, acute toxicity, root bark.

atividade gastroprotetora da casca do caule de ximenia americana l ameixa de espinho Olacaceae em ratos
2019Co-Authors: Ticiana P AragaoAbstract:Ximenia americana L. (Olacaceae), popularly known as thorn plum, have their shells used in ethnomedicine as healing agent and also for the treatment of gastric disorders. This tudy identified the chemical constituents of the aqueous extract of the Ximenia americana stem shells (XaAE) and assessed gastroprotective activity in in vivo models of acute gastric mucosal injury in rodents. After lyophilization, the extract was submitted to analyses through Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and then its major constituents were identified. The gastroprotective effect was assessed in acute gastric mucosal injuries induced by absolute ethanol, acidified ethanol and indomethacin. Antisecretory activity, mucus production and the participation of sulfhydryl compounds (-SH) and nitric oxide (NO) were also assessed. The chromatographic analysis identified as major compounds: B and C-type procyanidins and catechin/epicatechin. Oral administration of XaAE (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) inhibited the injuries induced by absolute ethanol (76.1%, 77.5% and 100%, respectively), acidified ethanol (44.9%, 80.6 % and 94.9%, respectively) and indomethacin (56.4%, 52.7% and 64.9%, respectively). XaAE (100 mg/kg) reduced gastric contents and acidity (51.4% and 67.7%, respectively), but did not change the production of gastric mucus. The reduction of the -SH and NO compounds promoted by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM, 10 mg/kg, i.p.) and Nω-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME, 70 mg/kg, i.p.), respectively, mitigated the gastroprotective effect of XaAE. The outcomes signalize that the gastroprotective activity of the extract is partly mediated by -SH, NO and antisecretory activity. Originally, this action was correlated to its main constituents, B and C-type procyanidins and catechin/epicatechin.
