Population Control of Dociostaurus maroccanus by Pistacia lentiscusand P. vera

The invasion of insect pests is causing significant losses on crops and agricultural land, for this reason locust control remains one of the major concerns in the strategy of protecting crops in arid and semi-arid regions. The present study was conducted for evaluation of bioinsecticidal of the essential oils of Pistcia lentiscus and Pistacia vera of the Anacardiaceae family in the region of Tlemcen by molecular modeling methods. The work consists of studying the inhibition of the α-amylase enzyme of the species Dociostaurus maroccanus which is a digestive enzyme by molecular docking.The molecular dynamics simulation study showed good result for the myrcène a fuctional inhibitor for the activity of α-amylaseenzyme.The result obtained confirms the bio-insecticide effect of the genus Pistacia family ofAnacardiaceae.
