Usage

General Description

METHYL 15-METHYLHEXADECANOATE, is also known as Methyl palmitate, is a chemical compound that belongs to the ester class. It is derived from palmitic acid and methanol and is commonly used in the production of various cosmetic and personal care products, as well as in the food industry as a flavoring agent. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a faint odor and is soluble in most organic solvents. Methyl 15-methylhexadecanoate has emollient and moisturizing properties, making it a popular ingredient in lotions, creams, and other skincare products. It is also used as a fragrance enhancer and fixative in perfumes and colognes. Additionally, it is used as a lubricant and surfactant in industrial applications.

Insecticidal Activity of Extracts, Fractions, and Pure Molecules of Cissampelos pareira Linnaeus against Aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch

Aphis craccivora Koch is a polyphagous and major pest of leguminous crops causing significant damage by reducing the yield. Repeated application of synthetic insecticides for the control of aphids has led to development of resistance. Therefore, the present study aimed to screen the insecticidal activity of root/stem extracts/fractions, and pure molecules from Cissampelos pareira Linnaeus against A. craccivora for identification of lead(s). Among root extract/fractions, the n-hexane fraction was found most effective (LC50 = 1828.19 mg/L) against A. craccivora, followed by parent extract (LC50 = 2211.54 mg/L). Among stem extract/fractions, the n-hexane fraction (LC50 = 1246.92 mg/L) was more effective than the water and n-butanol fractions. Based on GC and GC-MS analysis, among different compounds identified in the n-hexane fraction of root and stem, ethyl palmitate (known to possess insecticidal activity) was present in the highest concentration (24.94 to 52.95%) in both the fractions. Among pure molecules, pareirarineformate was found most effective (LC50 = 1491.93 mg/L) against A. craccivora, followed by cissamine (LC50 = 1556.31 mg/L). Parent extract and fractions of C. pareira possess promising activity against aphid. Further, field bio-efficacy studies are necessary to validate the current findings for the development of botanical formulation.
