    In this study, a new series of thiazolo4,5-bquinoxaline derivatives 3–8 were synthesized by treating 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline with thiosemicarbazone and thiourea derivatives under reflux conditions. The chemical structure of the newly designed derivatives was conducted using spectroscopic techniques. The insecticidal bioassay of the designed derivatives was evaluated against the 2nd and 4th larvae of S. litura after five days as toxicity agents via median lethal concentration (LC50) and the lethal time values (LT50). The results indicated that all the tested compounds had insecticidal effects against both instar larvae of S. litura with variable values. Among them, thiazolo4,5-bquinoxaline derivative 3 was the most toxic, with LC50 = 261.88 and 433.68 ppm against 2nd and 4th instar larvae, respectively. Moreover, the thiazolo4,5-bquinoxaline derivative 3 required the least time to kill the 50% population (LT50) of 2nd larvae were 20.88, 13.2, and 15.84 hs with 625, 1250, and 2500 ppm, respectively, while for the 4th larval instar were 2.75, 2.08, and 1.76 days with concentrations of 625, 1250, and 2500 ppm, respectively. Larvae's morphological and histological studies for the most active derivative 3 were investigated. According to SEM analysis, the exterior morphology of the cuticle and head capsule was affected. In addition, there were some histological alterations in the cuticle layers and the midgut tissues. Columnar cells began breaking down, and vacuolization occurred in the peritrophic membrane. Moreover, treating 4th S litura larvae hemolymph with compound 3 showed significant changes in biochemical analysis, such as total proteins, GPT, GOT, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and alkaline phosphatase (AlP). Finally, the toxicity prediction of the most active derivative revealed non-corrosive, non-irritant to the eye, non-respiratory toxicity, non-sensitivity to the skin, non-hepatotoxic, and don't have toxicity on minnow toxicity and T. pyriformis indicating a good toxicity profile for human. Display omitted •New thiazolo4,5-bquinoxaline derivatives were efficiently synthesized.•The structures of all obtained products were confirmed by (FT-IR and 1H/13CNMR).•Insecticidal bioassay was evaluated against the 2nd and 4th larvae of S. litura.•SEM analysis and histological studies were conducted to the most active member.•The total proteins, GPT, GOT, AChE, and AlP were evaluated for quinoxaline 3.
