Synthesis, cytotoxic screening and molecular docking, DFT calculation of novel furan-heterocyclic derivatives as insecticidal agents.

ABSTRACT: The insecticidal furan-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (1) as staring compound underwent a nucleophilic substitution reaction with different reagents, chloroacetyl chloride, chloroacetic acid. 1,4-dibromobutane-2,3-dione and also, with different activated reagents 2-cyanoacetohydrazide, phthalic anhydride, and 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde as good yields. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by elemental and spectral analyses. The majority of the synthesized compounds were assessed for their insecticidal activity towards three insects, Cryptoblabes gnidiella, Retithrips syriacus and Spodoptera frugiperda under laboratory conditions and promising results were obtained, with encouraging outcomes observed. Compounds 5, 7, 9, 11 and 15 were found to the most effective than othe
