The objective of the present study was to evaluate the larvicidal potential of the [alpha]-amylase inhibitor from the seeds of Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc. against Aedes aegypti (L.) larvae. Macrotyloma uniflorum [alpha]-amylase inhibitor (MUAI) was partially purified using ion exchange chrom...
