Upon screening for novel and potential biocompounds with larvicidal activities, we successfully isolated hamisonine (HMSN) a limonoid compound from endophytic fungi Penicillium oxalicum LA-1 of Limonia acidissima. The extracted compound structure was elucidated by spectral studies such as UV-vis spectroscopy, thin-layer chromatography, FTIR, LC-ESI-MS, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR upon comparing with the spectral data available in the literature. Further, the isolated HMSN was tested against III and IV instar Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. The outcome of this study clearly emphasize that the extracted compound HMSN possesses a stupendous larvicidal activity in a dose-dependent manner with the LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ values of 1.779 and 7.685 ppm against III instar larvae and 3.031 and 28.498 ppm against IV instar larvae of C. quinquefasciatus, respectively. Interestingly, the histological studies evidently showing the damage of peritrophic membrane and epithelial cells of testing mosquito larvae.
