Abstract
This paper showed a study on acaricidal activities of the plant extracts from Polygonum aviculare against Tetranychus cinnabarinus and its affection to the activity among several relative enzymes. The plant extracts were prepared using different solvents such as chloroform, petroleum ether and methanol. It was found that the corrected mortality of female adults could reach 89.95 % (2 mg·mL-1) and the main lethal concentrations (LC50) was 0.7153 ± 0.1253 mg·mL-1 when using chloroform as the solvent, which exhibited best acaricidal activities among three solvents (P < 0.05). Through further extraction and column chromatography, we obtained 19 components from the chloroform extracts, and the number 2, 7, 8, 15, 16, 17 and 18 components had acaricidal activities higher than 70%, among them, number 16 had highest motality (87.12 %). Furthermore, colorimetry assay showed that the component number 16 could affect the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), Na+, K+-ATPase, GSH-S-transferase (GSTs) of T. cinnabarinus.
