Resumen
THE LOSS OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS BY PESTS AND MICROORGANISMS IS INTENSELY FOUGHT WITH SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS THAT CAN POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, AND FOODS. THE USE OF PLANT-DERIVED PRODUCTS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE ORGANISMS IS A SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE ALTERNATIVE. IN THIS STUDY, WE INVESTIGATED FABIANA IMBRICATA, A VERY WELL-KNOWN SPECIES OF SOLANACEAE FOUND IN THE PATAGONIAN REGION. THE TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF ITS FRACTIONS WERE TESTED AGAINST DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER AND TENEBRIO MOLITOR. THESE FRACTIONS WERE ALSO SCREENED FOR REPELLENCY ON ACANTHOSCELIDES OBTECTUS AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY. ADDITIONALLY, THE MORTALITY ASSAY OF D. MELANOGASTER LARVAE REVEALED HIGHER ACTIVITY FOR THE STEM (LC50 VALUE OF 7.5 ?G/ML) AND LEAF (LC50 VALUE OF 19.8 ?G/ML) PETROLEUM BENZINE FRACTIONS. TENEBRIO MOLITOR LARVAE NEEDED TO BE EXPOSED TO A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF STEM FRACTIONS (200 AND 300 ?G/ML) TO OBSERVE ABOUT 50 AND 90% MORTALITY, RESPECTIVELY. MOREOVER, REPELLENCY AFTER 4 H OF EXPOSURE WAS MAINLY OBSERVED WITH THE STEM DICHLOROMETHANE FRACTION (CONC. 100 ?G/ML). THE ACETATE FRACTION OF THE STEM (FE-C) WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GREATEST GROWTH INHIBITION OF THE TESTED BACTERIA (ESCHERICHIA COLI, LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES, L. INNOCUA, SALMONELLA SP., AND S. AUREUS). BASED ON THE FINDINGS, STEM FRACTIONS WERE SELECTED FOR STUDIES OF TOXICITY IN NON-TARGET ORGANISMS AND SYSTEMIC EFFECTS ON PROTEINS AND DETOXIFICATION ENZYMES FROM T. MOLITOR LARVAE. THE FRACTIONS TESTED AGAINST ADULT BEES WERE SAFE UP TO 500 ?G/ML FOR 4 H OF EXPOSURE AND 48 H OF OBSERVATION. TOTAL PROTEINS AND ENZYMES ACHE, GST/GSH, AND CARBOXYLASE WERE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, MAINLY WITH FE-C. IN CONTRAST, ACP AND ALP WERE UP-REGULATED, WITH THE SAME FRACTION AS THE MAJOR INDUCER. THE CHEMICAL PROFILES OF THE FRACTIONS ANALYZED BY GC-MS AND NMR SHOWED THAT FE-C HAD SCOPOLETIN AS THE MAIN COMPONENT. THEREFORE, WE SELECTED THIS COMPOUND FOR IN SILICO ANALYSIS OF ACHE DOCKING, QUALITATIVE AND QUANT
