Item Extracts of the Native Brazilian Tree Garcinia gardneriana Inhibit Urediniospore Germination of Coffee Leaf Rust Fungus(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2022-02-21) Silva, Ueveton P. da; Ferreira, Bruno W.; Sousa, Bianca L. de; Furlani, Gabriela M.; Barreto, Robert W.; Agrizzi, Ana Paula; Leite, João Paulo V.; Santos, Marcelo H. dos; Varejão, Eduardo V. V.The fungal Hemileia vastatrix is the causal agent of coffee leaf rust, one of the worst and devastating disease in coffee cultures worldwide. As a result of our research on natural products for the development of novel agrochemicals, we found that the hexane extract from leaves of the Brazilian medicinal plant Garcinia gardneriana, at 500 μg mL-1, inhibited in 98% the germination of H. vastatrix urediniospores. This extract showed no phytotoxicity when tested for seed germination and seedling growth inhibitory activity using sensible plant species. Also, the hexane extract from leaves was tested for anti-acetylcholinesterase activity, which constitutes a mechanism of action of major commercial insecticides used in agriculture, and showed low activity even at concentrations about two times higher than the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) found in the antifungal assays. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis showed that the hexane extract is constituted mainly by the pentacyclic triterpene lupeol, together with a series of sesquiterpenes as minor components. This is the first report on the investigation of antifungal, phytotoxic and acetylcholinesterase activities of extracts from leaves of G. gardneriana. These findings indicate that G. gardneriana may constitute a promising source of natural products for controlling the coffee leaf rust fungus.Item Age and time related pheromone production in coffee leafminer Leucoptera coffeella Guérin-Méneville (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae)(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2008) Lima, Eraldo R.; Vilea, Evaldo F.; Lucia, Terezinha M. C. Della; Ataíde, Lívia M. S.This study was undertaken to access the pattern of sex pheromone production in glands of virgin females of Leucoptera coffeella as an indirect measure of the calling behavior. The major compound, 5,9-dimethylpentadecane (1) was extracted from pheromone glands of virgin females to be used in two experiments. The first one investigated the effect of the pheromone production time by females (extracts of 10 females with age of two days were carried out at 2-hour intervals). The other experiment evaluated the effect of female age on pheromone production (10 females with age ranged from 1 to 5 days after emergence class were used). Hexane extracts were made with 5 ng µL-1 of 5,9-dimethylheptadecane (2) as internal standard and analyzed by GC. Females had the highest amount of pheromone at the last four hours in the dark and the two first hours in the light period. One-day old females produced the highest amount of pheromone in the glands.Item A solid-phase microextraction method for the chromatographic determination of organophosphorus pesticides in fish, water, potatoes, guava and coffee(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2005) Capobiango, Helena L. V.; Cardeal, Zenilda L.This paper describes a Solid Phase Microextraction method (SPME-CG) to the determination of organophosphorus pesticides in samples of fresh-water fish, water, potatoes, guava and coffee by capillary gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detector. The samples were collected from October 2002 to April 2003 in the tributaries and sub-tributaries of the Paranaiba River, which supplies the city of Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The determination of the pesticides: co-ral (O,O-diethyl O-(3-chloro-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-7-yl) phosphorothioate), DDVP (2,2-dichloroethenyl dimethylphosphate), disyston (O,O-diethyl S-[2-(ethylthio) ethyl] phosphorodithioate), ethion (O,O,O’,O’-tetraethyl S,S’-methylene bis(phosphorodithioate)), phorate (O,O-diethyl S-ethylthiomethyl phosphorodithioate), phosdrin (2-methoxycarbonyl-1-methylvinyl dimethyl phosphate), guthion (O,Odimethyl-S-[(4-oxo-1,2,3-benzotriazin-3(4H)-yl)methyl] phosphorodithioate)), malathion (diethyl (dimethoxy thiophosphorylthio succinate) and methyl-parathion (O,O-dimethyl O-4-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate) in samples of fish, water and others foods with a manual SPME-CG holder using a 100 μm PDMS microfiber, is simple, easy to handle and solvent-free. The optimised conditions for pesticides extraction by SPME-CG method were: sample agitation, absorption at room temperature for 40 min, desorption at 220°C for 10 min, and sample volume in the vial of 16.0 mL. Under these conditions, the analytical curves were linear in different ranges (depend of each pesticide) with correlation coefficients from 0.997 to 0.999 and the precision was good (RSD from 4.40 to 15.13%). The detection limit was 0.05 μg L-1 to 8.37 μg L-1 and the quantitation limit was 0.09 μg L-1 to 8.70 μg L-1. The method was employed to detect and quantify pesticides in 24 fish of three different species and also in water, potatoes, guava and coffee. The samples analyzed showed residues of six different organophosphorus pesticides.
