    The development of natural insecticides would help to decrease the negative impact of synthetic insecticides. Fumigant toxicity of essential oil of Tagetes filifolia Lag (Asterales: Asteraceae) and its major compounds were evaluated against Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography鈥搈ass spectrometry. The essential oil and (E)-anethole were the most toxic at 24 h against adult insects (CL50= 2.4 y 2.6 碌L/mL water, respectively). Changes in the products of lipid peroxidation were evidenced by an increase in malondialdehyde content. Acetylcholinesterase activity in vitro, of T. castaneum adults, was also reported. (E)-anethole and estragole showed similar acetylcholinesterase inhibition (54 and 63%, respectively at 5 mM). The present study constitutes one of the first contributions to understanding the relationship between the insecticidal action of essential oil and oxidative stress.El desarrollo de insecticidas naturales podr铆a ayudar a disminuir el impacto negativo de insecticidas sint茅ticos. La acci贸n insecticida fumigante del aceite esencial (AEs) de Tagetes filifolia Lag (Asterales: Asteraceae) y sus compuestos principales fueron evaluados contra adultos de Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). Los aceites esenciales fueron analizados por cromatograf铆a gaseosa-espectrometr铆a de masas. El aceite esencial y (E)-anetol mostraron mayor toxicidad contra insectos adultos a las 24 h (CL50= 2,4 y 2,6 碌L/mL water, respectivamente). Se evidenciaron cambios en los productos de peroxidaci贸n lip铆dica por un incremento en el contenido de malondialdeh铆do. Tambi茅n se estudi贸 la actividad in vitro de la enzima acetilcolinesterasa de insectos adultos de T. castaneum. (E)-anetol y estragol mostraron similar inhibici贸n de la enzima (54 y 63%, respectivamente a 5 mM). El presente estudio constituye una de las primeras contribuciones para comprender la relaci贸n entre la acci贸n insecticida del aceite esencial y el estr茅s oxidativo
