Structure-activity relationships of larvicidal monoterpenes and derivatives against Aedes aegypti Linn

► Structure−activity of monoterpenes against Ae. aegypti larvae. ► Heteroatoms in the monoterpene structure decreases potency. ► Conjugated and exo double bonds appear to increase larvicidal potency. ► Hydroxyls in the cyclic structure resulted in decreased potency. ► Limonene exhibited the highest larvicidal activity.
