The proposed structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed using elemental analysis, UV, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectroscopy. Compounds 4a-h were screened in larval bioassays at concentrations of 100, 50 and 25 ppm in a dose dependent manner and data for their mortality was recorded. Among the tested compounds, 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-{2-oxo-2-[2-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-ylidene)hydrazinyl] ethyl} phenyl)urea (4b) showed noteworthy larvacidal activity against Aedes aegypti. Dose-response data of compound 4b showed LC50 and LC90 values of 30.5 (15.4 – 22.7) and 95.9 (73.8 – 139.4) ppm, respectively. Screening of compounds 4a-h at four doses by topical bioassay indicated a range of activity between 10000 and 1000 ppm.
