Abstract Botanical formulations could be used as eco-friendly products with proven potential as insecticide. Larvicidal activity of biologically active compounds i.e. Rutin and Taraxerol extracted from leaves of Codiaeum variegatum against larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus was studied in binary combinations. WHO protocols was adopted for the larvicidal bioassay. The active compound i.e. Rutin and Taraxerol extracted through ethyl alcohol and petrol as solvents from the leaves of Codiaeum variegatum used as volatile which was administered for 24h to 96h to the larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. Exposure of larvae over different time durations. Sub-lethal doses (40% and 80% of LC50) (Table 1) of Rutin and Taraxerol in the ratio (1:1, 1:2, 1:5) forms significantly (P<0.05) altered the level of total protein, total free amino acid, glycogen and activity of enzyme acetylcholinesterase, acid and alkaline phosphatases activity in whole body tissue of Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. The alteration in all these biochemical parameters were significantly(P<0.05) time and dose dependent.
