Chemical composition and insecticidal activity against mosquitoes of the essential oil of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb
Keywords:
Curcuma aeruginosa; essential oil; curzerenone; larvicidal activity; adulticidal activity.Abstract
In order to develop natural alternatives to control mosquitoes of medical importance, the chemical composition and insecticidal activity of the essential oil of the rhizomes of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb were evaluated. The oil was characterized by its organoleptic, physical-chemical properties and ultraviolet and infrared spectra. The quantification of the oil components was carried out by gas chromatography and the major ones were identified by mass spectrometry; Curzerenone was the most abundant component. The insecticidal activity was evaluated in populations of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus using methodologies standardized by the World Health Organization. The oil maintained an homogeneous response against the three mosquito populations, showing significant larvicidal and adulticidal activities. It constitutes the first report of the chemical composition of the essential oil of C. aeruginosa cultivated in the eastern Cuban region and the bioassays conducted demonstrated its insecticidal potential as an ecological alternative.
