Resumo
The control and combat culicines have presented difficuties related to the
emergence of resistant mosquito populations, ostensibly occasioned by the use of
current synthetic insecticides. This reality creates the necessity of looking for new
substances insecticide and constant development of new formulations. Face to this
situation, phytochemical studies have demonstrated that plants are an abundant source
of new active principles. In this work, a quantitative and qualitative review was carried
out, between the period of 1970 and 2010, looking for plants that had presented
insecticidal effect on culicines, with importance to public health. There were found 174
botanical species, distributed in 56 families, with bigger concentration of species in the
Lamiaceae (15 species), Fabaceae (12 species), Asteraceae (12 species), Cucurbitaceae
(9 species) and Myrtaceae (9 species) families. The main insecticidal effects founded in
the related articles were: larvicidal action, mosquitocidal action, growth inhibition and
repellency effect. About the insecticide activity, the Copaifera reticulata and Piper
nigrum were the plants that presented the larger potentials for Culicinae. The
diterpenoide, acid 3-ß-acetoxylabdan-8(17)-13-dien-15-oico, isolated of C. reticulata, it
was more active substance against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus, following
by the substances isolated of P. nigrum: piperina, pellitorine, piperecida, guineensina
and retrofractamida that active against Ae. aegypti, Ae. togoi, Cx. quinquefasciatus and
Cx. pipiens pallens.
