Larvicide against Aedes aegypti

The study investigates the essential oil of Aniba rosaeodora Ducke, highlighting its primary component, linalool, which constitutes 63.16% of the oil and shows promise for pharmaceutical applications. Toxicity tests reveal a non-toxic classification with an LC50 range of 582 to 282 mg L-1. The oil exhibits significant larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti larvae, with an LC50 of 41.07 mg L-1, alongside notable antioxidant properties. The findings suggest its potential for effective larvicidal applications.
