Eleutherin and Isoeleutherin Activity against and Strain's: Molecular Docking and Antibacterial Evaluation.

Naphthoquinones eleutherin and isoeleutherin have demonstrated promising antibacterial activity, probably due to their quinone structure, which can generate reactive oxygen species. The study examines the activities of pathogens, such as and , associated with antimicrobial resistance and explores their potential mechanisms of action. The MIC, IC, and MBC were determined.

The impact of neonicotinoid insecticides on amphibians: A comprehensive review and future research challenges.

Neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) are widely used in agriculture; however, their effects on anuran amphibians remain poorly explored. This global review critically examines the existing literature, with data obtained from Web of Science and Scopus databases. A total thirty-seven studies were published from 2004 to 2023.

Artificial neural networks as a tool for seasonal forecast of attack intensity of Spodoptera spp. in Bt soybean.

Soybean (Glycine max) is the world's most cultivated legume; currently, most of its varieties are Bt. Spodoptera spp. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are important pests of soybean.

Unveiling the Subtle Threats: The Neurobehavioral Impact of Chlorpyrifos on .

Chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate insecticide widely used to control agricultural pests, poses a significant environmental threat due to its toxicity and persistence in soil and water. Our work aimed to evaluate the acute (survival) and chronic (regeneration, locomotion, and reproduction) toxicity of chlorpyrifos to the non-target freshwater planarian . The 48 h lethal concentration (LC) of the commercial formulation, containing 480 g L of chlorpyrifos, the active ingredient, was determined to be 622.

Essential Oil: A Plant Resistance Biostimulant and a Sustainable Alternative for Controlling Phytopathogens and Insect Pests.

With the growing demand for sustainable and safe agricultural practices, plant compounds emerge as a solution for biological activities. Here, we evaluated the potential of using essential oil to induce plant resistance and to control phytopathogens () and insect pests (). We conducted a chromatographic analysis to unveil the essential oil components.
