TLDR
Examines current research into botanical insecticides and includes highly technical processes such as the application of electrophysiological recordings to investigate the mode of action of antifeedants.Abstract:
Examines current research into botanical insecticides. Learn more on the isolation, synthesis, structures and biological activity of a wide range of natural plant products. See how insecticidal compounds taken from ordinary garden plants, exotic tropical species and other sources produce the desired effects. Includes highly technical processes such as the application of electrophysiological recordings to investigate the mode of action of antifeedants. Learn more about exploiting natural plant compounds through transgenic strategies. The structures shown can be used as leads for the synthesis of new insecticides that mimic the natural action of insect-resistant plants.read more

Antidiabetic plants and their active constituents.
TL;DR: This review provides information on more than 1200 species of plants reported to have been used to treat diabetes and/or investigated for antidiabetic activity, with a detailed review of representative plants and some of great diversity of plant constituents with hypoglycemic activity.

Bioassay Techniques for Drug Development
TL;DR: The goal of an activity-directed isolation process is to isolate bioactive compounds which may provide structural leads of therapeutic importance as mentioned in this paper, whereas the traditional process of drug development is long and expensive, simple and rapid bioassays can serve as the starting point for drug discovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Biological Assays to Evaluate Botanicals
TL;DR: The Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology's laboratory has adopted four “bench top” bioassays which do not require higher animals to screen and direct the fractionation of botanical extracts in drug discovery efforts, and the results in applying these simple methods in the discovery of Annonaceous acetogenins will be presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of action of insecticidal secondary metabolites of plant origin
TL;DR: The phytochemical biomolecules could be used for maximizing the effectiveness and specificity in future insecticide design with specific or multiple target sites, while ensuring the economic and ecological sustainability.

TL;DR: The oils of 41 plants were evaluated for their effects against third-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus and induced 100% mortality after 24 h, or even after shorter periods.
