Weed invasion represents a challenge for farmers, who typically manage it with herbicides. However, this approach raises concerns about environmental and human health, as well as increasing resistance in these plants with continued use. Therefore, exploring alternative methods, such as heterocyclic compounds, triazoles, is essential due to their bi...

The search for bioherbicides has been encouraged, and plants used in food or with bioactivity have been studied. Therefore, this article aimed to investigate the bioherbicidal potential of essential oils from Psidium cauliflorum and P. acidum through a plant toxicity bioassay using Lactuca sativa and Sorghum bicolor. The seeds were treated with ess...

Temos o prazer de lançar o SEGUNDO livro internacional voltado a área do desenvolvimento do ano de 2023, que tem como título Development and its applications in scientific knowledge , essa obra é editada pela Seven Publicações Ltda, tendo a composição de diversos capítulos voltados ao desenvolvimento e disseminação do conhecimento nas diversas área...

The control of weeds in agriculture is mainly conducted with the use of synthetic herbicides. However, environmental and human health concerns and increased resistance of weeds to existing herbicides have increased the pressure on researchers to find new active ingredients for weed control which present low toxicity to non-target organisms, are env...

Herbicides are commonly used to control weed. However, some plants are resistant to such products. To identify less harmful herbicides, it is crucial to search for different mechanisms of action. Thymol is an easily acquired allelopathic compound, capable of producing its respective semisynthetic derivative, thymoxyacetic acid. The aim of this stud...

Abstract We investigated whether essential oil and aqueous and ethanolic extracts from M. vittoriana leaves have phytotoxic effects on the germination and initial development, and cytogenotoxic effects on the cell cycle, of model plants. The essential oil and extracts of M. vittoriana were characterized and used as treatments in phytotoxicity and c...

The search for more environmental friendly herbicides, aiming at the control of agricultural pests, combinated with less harmfulness to human health and the environment has grown. An alternative used by researchers is the application of products of secondary plant metabolism, which are investigated due to their potential bioactivities. Thus, specie...

Herbicides are agrochemicals applied in the control of weeds. With the frequent and repetitive use of these substances, serious problems have been reported. Compounds of natural origin and their derivatives are attractive options to obtain new compounds with herbicidal properties. By aiming to develop compounds with potentiated herbicidal activity,...

The use of agrochemicals has influenced the increase in agricultural productivity. However, the concern about damage to the human health and to the environment, resulting from the indiscriminate use of pesticides, has increased worldwide. Alternative methods for controlling pests and diseases have been proposed to maintain productivity and quality...

Due to rising concerns for environmental and human health, many toxic compounds, such as auxin-based herbicides, have been tested in relation their toxicity effect. Especially cyto- and phytotoxic assays have been performed on a number monocot and eudicot plant species. In these approaches the toxicity level of the auxin is compared to a positive c...

The intensive application of agrochemicals in crops has negatively impacted the environment and other organisms. The use of naturally occurring compounds may be an alternative to mitigate these effects. Plants are secondary metabolite reservoirs and may present allelopathic activity, which is potentially interesting to be used in bioherbicide formu...

Herein, the synthesis of nine novel glycerol-derived 4-alkyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles, using the Cu I-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction as the key step, is reported. The triazoles were characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR 1 H and 13 C) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The nine prepared compounds were evalu...

The synthesis of a series of 1,2,3-triazoles using glycerol as starting material is described. The key step in the preparation of these triazolic derivatives is the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), also known as click reaction, between 4-(azidomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (3) and different terminal alkynes. The eight pr...

Glycerol is a subproduct of biodiesel production and represents an important problem when generated in large scale. Alternatives that can utilize this unrefined byproduct is of potential interest. It is herein described the synthesis of a series of 1,2,3-triazoles using glycerol as starting material. The key step involved in the preparation of tria...

Myrsine coreacea tem se destacado na medicina popular por apresentar diferentes fitoquímicos em suas folhas e caules. A aplicação de compostos naturais extraídos de plantas com propriedades medicinais ou alelopáticas pode reduzir efeitos colaterais em relação à saúde humana, quando comparados com moléculas sintéticas. Mas para ser utilizado com seg...

Para manutenção da segurança alimentar o uso de agrotóxicos tem aumentado em todo o mundo, sendo o Brasil o seu maior consumidor desde 2009. Porém, os danos ambientais e à saúde humana, causados por essas substâncias sintéticas, tem provocado preocupações. Uma forma de amenizar o uso dos agrotóxicos é substituí-los totalmente ou em partes por compo...

O estudo do potencial alelopático dos extratos e óleos essenciais das plantas tem se mostrado importante, já que tais produtos podem ser utilizados na produção de fármacos e de defensivos agrícolas. A Myrsine coreacea é reconhecida por suas propriedades químicas e suas atividades biológicas, porém seu potencial alelopático ainda não foi estudado. U...

A utilização de defensivos agrícolas sintéticos tem se intensificado cada vez mais a fim de manter a segurança alimentar. Entretanto, a medida que as aplicações vão sendo realizadas, esses defensivos vão apresentando decréscimo em sua eficácia. Além disso, há grandes debates acerca dos danos ambientais e à saúde humana que esses compostos químicos...

Os óleos essenciais são substâncias voláteis que vêm despertando interesse no setor agrícola, devido o grande potencial que possuem no controle de pragas. Assim, objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a composição química do óleo essencial de folhas de Lippia alba e avaliar o seu potencial mutagênico. Para isso, o óleo essencial foi obtido por hidr...

The essential oil of Plectranthus amboinicus and its chemotypes, carvacrol and thymol, were evaluated on the germination, root and aerial growth of Lactuca sativa and Sorghum bicolor, and in acting on cell cycle of meristematic root cells of L. sativa. The main component found in the oil by analysis in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) a...
