This study investigated the larvicidal potential of Knoevenagel adducts against Aedes aegypti larvae to develop sustainable alternatives for controlling disease vectors like dengue. Larvicidal activity (1a-l) was evaluated on fourth-stage larvae. Additional analyses included nitric oxide measurement, cell profiling, toxicity assessment, molecular docking, dynamics simulation, and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Toxicity) evaluation. Compounds 1c 1g showed high efficacy, with LC50 values 3.39 5.13 ppm. Hemolymph analysis revealed altered hemocyte composition, indicating an immune response, though levels remained unchanged. Molecular docking identified strong interactions between FKBP12 enzyme (PDB: 3UQI) adducts. Compound had highest probability binding affinity, while validated by biological assays. confirmed stable FKBP12, both displaying significant van der Waals contributions. highlighted as a less toxic compound, minimal mutagenic risk, favorable pharmacokinetics, bioavailability. are promising candidates effective, selective, environmentally friendly larvicides.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to examine the inductive charge transferring from noble gas (Ng) atoms borole structure. The indicate that all especially heavier ones can induce B atom of structure and decrease its antiaromaticity nature. In-depth, Ng∙∙∙B interaction analyses reveal serve as donor fragments in formation donor–acceptor non-covalent interactions.

Quantum chemical simulations were utilized to investigate the nature of bonding N3-, P3-, As3-, O2-, S2-, Se2-, F-, Cl-, and Br- anions with designed anion receptor cyclopenta-2,4-diene-1,1-diylbis(borane) abbreviated as CPDB consecutive hyperconjugative aromaticity in its cyclopentadiene ring. Various analytical tools, including quantum theory atoms molecules (QTAIM), Electron Localization function (ELF), reduced density gradient (RDG) employed explore interaction between selected structure. Moreover, changes bond lengths (∆BL), harmonic oscillator model (HOMA), localized orbital locator purely contributed by π-orbitals (LOL-π) analyses performed study upon accepting. The findings indicate that are connected structure through electron deficiency B can induce via Schleyer's CPBD's interactions effect each is discussed detail.
