Larvicidal activity of novel anthraquinone analogues and their molecular docking studies.

To investigate the larvicidal activities of novel anthraquinones () against mosquito larvae. Novel anthraquinones () derivatives were synthesis via condensation method. The compounds were confirmed through FT-IR spectroscopy, H & C NMR spectrum, and mass spectral studies. The larvicidal activity of compound was highly active LD 20.92 µg/mL against compared standard with LD 25.49 µg/mL. Molecular docking studies were carried out for compound against Odorant-binding protein of . The compound (-9.8 Kcal/mol) was a potent larvicide with more binding energy than control (-9.7 Kcal/mol). Therefore, compound () may be more significant inhibitors of mosquito larvicidal.
