| Abstract | The bioactivity of four flavonoid compounds, namely poncirin, rhoifolin, naringin and marmesin, from Poncirus trifoliata was studied against the Aedes aegypti. Larvicidal assays were conducted to evaluate the 24 h LC50 and LC90 values of the flavonoid compounds. The lethal concentration (LC50 and LC90) values ranged from 0.082 to 0.122 mg/l and 0.152 to 0.223 mg/l, respectively. The result of ovicidal test suggests that the ovicidal activity of the flavonoid compounds was influenced by the concentration of flavonoid compounds and age of the eggs. The result of oviposition test showed that the four flavonoid compounds exhibited oviposition-deterrent activity against gravid female mosquitoes. Oviposition decreased with an increase in concentration of flavonoid compounds. A laboratory test was carried out to evaluate protection period and percentage of repellency of four compounds diluted in ethanol (10 mg/l). The compound rhoifolin provided maximum 365.0 ± 12.0 min protection and also 100.0% ± 0.0 repellency against mosquito bite followed by poncirin, marmesin and naringin. None of the 25 volunteers of either sex exposed to 10% (w/v) flavonoid compounds (4-h patch test) showed a positive skin irritant reaction. All of the tested compounds proved to have various activities against different life stages of A. aegypti. Therefore, flavonoid compounds from P. trifoliata can be a potential candidate for use in the development of commercial mosquitocidal products that may be an alternative to conventional synthetic chemicals, particularly in integrated vector control applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
