Abstract

Termites are a major menace in agriculture and infrastructure worldwide, prompting the need for effective control methods. Thymol and carvacrol, which are natural compounds with termiticidal potential, are arousing interest as environmentally friendly options. Virtual screening was carried out using AutoDock and performed using the Chimera software to ascertain the binding of thymol, carvacrol with the enzymes. Antioxidant properties were determined by Superoxide Dismutase while the termiticidal potential was determined using no-choice bioassay and ROS activities were examined using H2DCFA and NADPH oxidase assay
