Article Synopsis
- The study focused on 4,7-Dichloroquinoline (DCQ), exploring its synthetic derivatives and their potential biomedical applications.
- Five DCQ derivatives were synthesized and analyzed using advanced mass spectrometry techniques alongside theoretical calculations to understand their behavior.
- The research found that DCQ and its derivatives exhibited significant larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti larvae, highlighting their potential for developing effective pest control products.
The mosquito is a vector of severe diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates. The most commonly used industrial larvicides have considerable toxicity for non-target organisms. This study aimed to develop and evaluate liquid and solid carrier systems to use pentyl cinnamate (PC), derived from natural sources, to control larvae.

A systematic search was made in databases in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The search for articles was conducted in Medline/PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature Database (LILACS), Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science databases and in the System of Information on Grey Literature in Europe (SINGLE) and included articles published in English up to April 25th, 2021.
