Biopesticides from Amorpha fruticosa, Can We Turn the Dice and Use This Aggressive Invasive Arboreal as Economically Prospective Source of Compounds Capable to Control Pests on Crops? [PDF]

Research Journal of Pharmacognosy
The global decline of pollinators and particularly the decline of bumblebees is a well-proven fact. Their conservation is a leading task in searching for new biopesticides. Amorpha fruticosa L. (Fabaceae) is alien invasive plant in all parts of the world.

17‐epi‐Melianodiol, a new protolimonoid from Melia azedarach fruits, exhibits larvicidal activity and is associated with oxidative imbalance and midgut epithelial damage in Aedes aegypti larvae

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9240-9248, September 2026.
The bio‐guided phytochemical study resulted in the new compound 17‐epi‐melianodiol. The compound eliminated 100% of Aedes aegypti larvae at 100 ppm, causing pronounced morphological changes, cuticular damage, and extensive vacuolization. Abstract BACKGROUND In Brazil, Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya ...

Homoisoflavonoids—From Natural Specificity and Biosynthesis to Precision Health‐Promoting Mechanisms

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Homoisoflavonoids are rare flavonoids with a unique bi‐aromatic oxygen‐heterocyclic structure. This review synthesizes their structure–activity relationships in anti‐inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and anticancer contexts. By highlighting their specific natural distribution and outlining biosynthetic pathways, it provides a conceptual framework and ...

Deguelin Inhibits the Migration and Invasion of U-2 OS Human Osteosarcoma Cells via the Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2/-9 in Vitro

Molecules, 2014
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant primary bone tumor in children and young adults and lung metastasis is the main cause of death in those patients. Deguelin, a naturally occurring rotenoid, is known to be an Akt inhibitor and to exhibit cytotoxic

Extracts from Field Margin Weeds Provide Economically Viable and Environmentally Benign Pest Control Compared to Synthetic Pesticides.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Plants with pesticidal properties have been investigated for decades as alternatives to synthetics, but most progress has been shown in the laboratory. Consequently, research on pesticidal plants is failing to address gaps in our knowledge that constrain

From MS1 to Structure: A Van Krevelen–DBE–Aromaticity‐Based Framework for Annotating Specialized Metabolites via High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 39, Issue 24, 30 December 2025.
ABSTRACT Rationale Classifying specialized metabolites in untargeted metabolomics remains a major challenge, particularly when relying solely on high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data at the MS1 level. Traditional approaches using Van Krevelen diagrams often lack sufficient resolution to distinguish structurally similar metabolite classes ...
