Synthesis of inventive biphenyl and azabiphenyl derivatives as potential insecticidal agents against the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis

Table 4 Total proteins and total lipids, activities in the hemolymph of the 4th Instar Larvae of S. littoralis later 5 days of treatment with LC₅₀ of 8d, 8a, 4b, and 8b tested compounds

Tested compounds	Total proteins (g/dL)	% of control	Total lipids (g/dL)	% of control
8d	5.40 ± 0.31^d	− 73.97	3.03 ± 0.12^d	− 85.07
8a	8.19 ± 0.27^c	− 60.52	8.36 ± 0.30^c	− 58.82
4b	14.40 ± 0.31^b	− 30.57	14.63 ± 0.35^b	− 27.93
8b	19.92 ± 0.20^a	− 3.96	19.72 ± 0.35^a	− 2.86
Control	20.74 ± 0.31^a		20.30 ± 0.28^a

Whereby, means ± SE (standard error) of 3 replicates of 50 of 4th larvae each. Distinct letters designate significant variances between treatments as stated by Duncan’s test. LSD = 0.05 was 0.888 g/dL for total proteins and 0.921 g/dL for total lipids. % of control = (test−control)/control × 100
