10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 4 Issue 4 2013 (October - December) Many species of lessThan i greaterThan Ocimum lessThan /i greaterThan reported to exhibit insecticidal and insect repellent properties. In the present investigation, molecular characterization of lessThan i greaterThan Ocimum basilicum Linn. var. pilosum (willd)- Benth lessThan /i greaterThan was carried out with EST SSR markers and efficiently demarcated the lessThan i greaterThan O.basilicum Linn. var. pilosum (willd)- Benth lessThan /i greaterThan from other lessThan i greaterThan Ocimum lessThan /i greaterThan varieties. lessThan i greaterThan The lessThan /i greaterThan leaf extract of lessThan i greaterThan O.basilicum Linn. var. pilosum (willd)- Benth lessThan /i greaterThan was analyzed by GC-MS and 15 compounds were identified. Compounds which are structurally similar to the DEET were docked with Schrodinger mastero software. n-Hexa decanoic acid and , 4H-1-Benzopyran-4-One,5-Hydroxy-6,7-Dimethoxy-2-(4-Methoxyphenyl) were shown good docking scores with mosquito odorant binding protein 3N7H. N-Hexa decanoic acid present in lessThan i greaterThan O.basilicum Linn. var. pilosum (willd)- Benth lessThan /i greaterThan found to be an ideal candidate for development of another potential mosquito repellent.
