Ichthyotoxic activities of Ateleia glazioviana Baill. and Thinouia coriacea Britt.
Ethanolic extracts from leaves and roots of Ateleia glazioviana (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) and the saponin containing fraction from Thinouia coriacea (Sapindaceae) have been studied for ichthyotoxic activity on Phallocerus caudimaculatus and Geophagus brasiliensis. The ethanolic extracts were used in doses ranging from 50 to 100 ppm, based on the dry residue. The saponin fraction was used at doses of 1-10 ppm. The two plant extracts and saponin fractions were found to be ichthyotoxic, justifying their traditional role as an aid in fishing.
