Spodoptera litura and Helicoverpa armigera are polyphagous pests of agricultural crops in the Asian tropics since these pests have been responsible for massive crop and carry economic losses and low commodity production. At the same time, mosquitoes are vectors for numerous dreadful diseases, which is the most important group of insect for their public health concern. Using synthetic insecticides to control the pests can lead to contamination of land surface and groundwater and impact beneficial soil organisms and nontarget species. Applications of bioactive compounds are received considerable attention across the world as alternatives to synthetic insecticides. In the current study, actinobacterial secondary metabolite was isolated from Actinokineospora fastidiosa for the first time. The effect of actinobacterial metabolite (l-isoleucine, N-allyloxycarbonyl-, and dodecyl ester) was assessed on agricultural pest S. litura and H. armigera, mosquito vectors larvae Ae. aegypti, An. stephensi, and Cx. quinquefasciatus. The bioactive fraction was characterized through UV, FTIR, and NMR analysis. GC-MS analyses reveal the existence of a bioactive compound with a respective retention time of 19.740 responsible for larvicidal activity. The bioefficacy of the l-isoleucine, N-allyloxycarbonyl-, and dodecyl ester showed high antifeedant activity on S. litura (80.80%) and H. armigera (84.49%); and larvicidal activity on S. litura (82.77%) and H. armigera (88.00%) at 25 μg/mL concentration, respectively. The effective LC50 values were 8.07 μg/mL (F = 2.487, r2 = 0.988, P ≤ 0.05) on S. litura and 7.53 μg/mL (F = 123.25, r2 = 0.951, P ≤ 0.05) on H. armigera. The mosquito larvicidal effect of isolated compounds l-isoleucine, N-allyloxycarbonyl-, and dodecyl ester treated against Ae. aegypti, An. stephensi, and Cx. quinquefasciatus the obtained percentage mortality was 96.66, 83.24, 64.52, 50.00, and 40.00% against Ae. aegypti; 100.00, 86.22, 73.81, 65.37, and 56.24% against An. stephensi; 100.00, 90.00, 76.24, 68.75, and 56.23% against Cx. quinquefasciatus. The mosquito larvae of Ae. aegypti obtained LC50 value was 13.25 μg/mL, F = 28.50, r2 = 0.90; on An. stephensi was 10.19 μg/mL, F = 15.55, r2 = 0.83, and Cx. quinquefasciatus was 9.68 μg/mL, F = 20.00, r2 = 0.87. Furthermore, l-isoleucine-, N-allyloxycarbonyl-, and dodecyl ester-treated larvae produced significant pupicidal activity on S. litura (62.71%) and H. armigera (66.50%) at 25 μg/mL, along with increased larval and pupal duration as compared to control group. Treated larvae revealed obliteration in the midgut epithelial cells and destruction of microvilli was noticed as compared to the control. The isolated compounds l-isoleucine, N-allyloxycarbonyl-, and dodecyl ester did not produce any significant mortality on zebrafish embryos in all tested concentrations on biosafety observation. The potential microbial isolated molecule may fit well in IPM programs. Since the risk to human health, the environment, etc. is unknown.
