Over 100 benzyl esters of pyrethroidal acids were synthesised and tested for insecticidal activity to establish detailed structure–activity relationships in compounds with side-chains similar to those in the natural pyrethrins. Alkenyl, and corresponding alkynyl, side-chains were effective, both at the 3- and 4-positions, as were side-chains with extended substitution in either E or Z forms. A cyano group at the α-position increases activity if the side-chain is at C-3, but lowers it drastically if the substituent is at C-4. Similarly, methyl groups at C-2 and/or C-6 may increase activity whether the unsaturated side-chain is at C-3 or C-4, but only in the absence of an α-cyano group.  相似文献

The synthesis of a series of mono- and disubstituted biphenyl-3-ylmethyl esters of 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid is described. The bioactivity of these compounds against Spodoptera eridania, Epilachna varivestis, Oncopeltus fasciatus, Acrythosiphon pisum and Tetranychus urticae is presented and discussed. Substitution of fluorine, chlorine and methyl groups in the 2-position of the biphenyl ring generally led to an increase in activity over the unsubstituted parent biphenyl ester. In addition, pyrethroid esters derived from these 2-substituted biphenyl-3-ylmethanols appeared to have a broader spectrum of activity than ‘classical’ pyrethroids. For example, the (1RS)-cis-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2, 2-dimethylcyclopro-panecarboxylic acid ester of 2-methylbiphenyl-3-ylmethanol was acaricidal, while maintaining a level of activity against other insects that was equal to or greater than cis-permethiin. Biological data on other esters of this novel alcohol are also presented.  相似文献

Non-cyclopropane pyrethroid esters of different substituted 2-phenoxy-3-methylbutanoic acids have been synthesised using the three alcohols—3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol and 3, 4-methylene-dioxybenzyl alcohol. Among the 35 esters synthesised and tested against Culex quinquefasciatus Say, the Bancroftian filariasis vector, for both larvicidal and adulticidal activities, α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl 2-(4-fluorophenoxy)-3-methylbu-tanoate, with an LC50 value of 2.5 × 10?3 mg litre?1 for larvicidal activity, and α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3-methylbutanoate, with an LD50 value of 30 times; 10?4 ug insect?1 for adulticidal activity, were found to be as effective as fenvalerate, a well-known non-cyclopropane pyrethroid ester. Structure-activity studies showed that the insecticidal activity is dependent on the nature and position of the substituent in the phenyl ring of the acid moiety and also on the type of alcohol moiety.  相似文献

Methyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-[N-(4-chlorophenyl)carbamoyl]-4-methyl-2-pyrazoline-4-carboxylate was converted to corresponding (1R)- and (1S)-phenethyl esters via its carboxylic acid and acid chloride at the C-4 atom to separate the diastereomers. Their configurations were confirmed by X-ray analysis. Both isomers of the (1R)methylbenzyl ester were subjected to transesterification with sodium methoxide to obtain enantiomers of the starting methyl ester. Their insecticidal activity was measured against American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana (L.)) by injection and against house flies (Musca domestica L.) by topical application under various synergistic conditions with metabolic inhibitors. The activity values of the four α-methylbenzyl esters and the R-isomer of the starting methyl ester were similar. The S-enantiomer of the methyl ester was about 10 and 100 times more active than the R-isomer against the cockroach and the fly, respectively. Some N-arylacetyl and N-aryloxyacetyl derivatives of the starting N-(4-chlorophenyl)carbamoyl compound gave very low activity. Conformation-energy profiles for some compounds suggested that the conformation of substituents on the N-1 atom in the pyrazoline ring has a specific role for the potential insecticidal effects.  相似文献

More than 20 N-(2-cyano-2-methoximinoacetyl)amino acids and derivatives were synthesised and tested for antifungal activity against grape downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara viticola (de Bary) Berl. & de Toni, and rape downy mildew, Peronospora parasitica Fr. Two of the compounds containing a free carboxylic acid group, a moiety which has been shown to confer phloem mobility on compounds, showed high activity, especially against P. parasitica, in protectant tests. These results indicate that there is no incompatibility between the acid function and fungicidal activity. A number of the esters showed activity comparable with that of cymoxanil in the protectant tests, and the tert-butyl esters of the methionine derivative and its sulfone were more than ten times as active as the commercial compound.  相似文献

A new series of substituted 2-anilino-3-methylbutyrates has been prepared; bioassay data for these compounds on Heliothis virescens, Musca domestica, Aphis fabae and Tetranychus urticae are presented and discussed. Some unexpected relationships were observed between the nature of the substituents and the biological activity. Increases in foliar stability were noted with certain substitution patterns. Both α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl 3-methyl-2-(α, α, α,2-tetrafluoro-p-toluidino)butyrate and the corresponding 2-(2-chloro-α, α, α-trifluoro-p-toluidino)-3-methylbutyrate showed good stability in air and light, and exhibited biological activities of a similar nature and potency to those of previously known synthetic pyrethroids. Esters of the (R)-2- anilino-3-methylbutyric acids are far more active than those prepared from the (S)-enantiomers. The (R)-configuration at C-2 in these acids is sterically equivalent to the active absolute configuration at the chiral carbon α to the carboxylate group in both the permethrin and the fenvalerate types of pyrethroids. A new class of insecticidal 2-(isoindolin-2-yl)alkanoates is also reported. In this series the most biologically active analogue was α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl 3-methyl-2-(4,5,6,7-tetrafluoroisoindolin-2-yl)butyrate. These esters were considerably less stable than the anilino analogues on exposure to air and light.  相似文献

Eighteen esters of resolved cis- and trans-3-(2,2-difluoro, -dichloro or -dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids with 5-benzyl-3-furylmethyl, 3-phenoxybenzyl and α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl alcohols were prepared and evaluated for insecticidal activity against Musca domestica L. and Phaedon cochleariae Fab. Chlorine and bromine substituted esters are more active, in general, than those with fluorine, and in the most active esters, the cis isomer is more effective than the trans.  相似文献

Close isosteres of fenvalerate [(RS)-α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (RS)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyrate], in which cyclopropyl groups replace isopropyl have insecticidal activity close to or greater than the parent compounds, and diminished intravenous toxicity to rats. A direct toxicological relationship of these compounds to fenvalerate itself and to chrysanthemate esters is indicated by the consistently greater activity of esters from one of an enantiomeric pair of acids. Other esters with larger alkyl or cycloalkyl groups, or spiropentane analogues of chrysanthemates are less active insecticides. 13C-Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra suggest that in the α-cyanobenzyl esters there is an intramolecular through-space interaction in solution. The relationships between the chemical structures of the compounds synthesised and their relative activities to different insect species and toxicity to rats are discussed.  相似文献

The unequal amounts of the two diastereomers of (RS)-1-(3-phenoxyphenyl)ethyl (RS)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyrate, obtained from equimolar proportions of the alcohol and acyl chloride under normal conditions, imply stereoselectivity in the reaction. The extent to which this depends on the nature of the α-substituent for arange of 3-phenoxybenzyl esters, on the nature of the acid, and on the method of esterification is investigated. Selectivity arises from kinetic, rather than thermodynamic control.  相似文献

Preparation of 3-phenoxybenzyl chrysanthemates and their dihalovinyl analogues substituted with a cyano group at the 2-, 6-, (R)-α-, or (S)-α- positions is described. The (R)- and (S)- isomers of α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl esters of 2,2-difluoro-, -dichloro-, and -dibromo-vinyl analogues of cis- and trans- chrysanthemic acid are separated chromatographically, as are the separate pairs of enantiomers of fenvalerate, (RS)-α- cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (RS)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyrate. An optically active ester of α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol (obtained using D -oxynitrilase) with 2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid is synthesised.  相似文献

Forty new organofluorine compounds, containing phosphorus, have been synthesised as potential pesticides. The compounds include esters of O,O-dialkyl phosphoramidic acids of the type (RO)2P(O)NHAr; thioesters of O,O-dialkyl thiophosphoramidic acids of the type (RO)2P(S)NHAr; esters of O,O-dialkyl phosphonic acid of the type (RO)2P(O)Ar and esters of O,O-dialkyl thiophosphonic acid (RO)2P(S)OAr. All the compounds have been screened for their insecticidal activity against adult cockroaches (Periplanata americana) and a few show appreciable activity.  相似文献

The fungistatic activity against Penicillium digitatum and Diplodia natalensis decreased slightly in ascending a homologous series of alkyl esters of benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamic acid from the methyl ester (carbendazim) to the pentyl ester; the hexyl and octyl esters were inactive. 2-(Acylamino)benzimidazoles were slightly less active than the analogous alkyl benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamates. Introduction of a methylene bridge between the benzimidazole ring and the 2-methoxycarbonylamino group abolished antifungal activity. Methylation of either the carbamate nitrogen or an imidazole nitrogen of carbendazim produced inactive compounds. Replacement of the benzimidazole ring of carbendazim with various other ring systems was accompanied by marked reduction in antifungal activity.  相似文献

The metabolism of the pyrethroid insecticide fenvalerate [(RS)-α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (RS)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyrate] ( I ), and of its most insecticidal (αS,2S) isomer ( II ), has been examined in cabbage plants grown and treated under laboratory conditions with [14C]chlorophenyl- and [ring-14C]benzyllabelled preparations of the two compounds. Both insecticides disappeared from the treated leaves with similar half-lives of approximately 12–14 days; they underwent ester cleavage to a significant extent, together with some hydroxylation at the 2- or 4-position of the phenoxy ring, and hydrolysis of the nitrile group to amide and carboxyl groups. Most of the carboxylic acids and phenols thus produced occurred as glycoside conjugates. In separate experiments, the uptake and metabolism of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyric acid ( X ), the acidic half of the molecule, were examined in the laboratory, using abscised leaves of kidney bean, cabbage, cotton, cucumber and tomato plants. The acid X was found to be readily converted, mainly into glucose and 6-O-malonylglucose esters in kidney bean, cabbage and cucumber plants, into glucosylxylose, sophorose and gentiobiose esters in cotton, and into two types of triglucose esters with differing isomerism in tomato. One of the acetyl derivatives of the trisaccharide conjugates was identical with the synthetic deca-acetyl derivative of the [1 → 6]-triglucose ester.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Pyrethroids are among the most potent pesticides known, with great potential for structural variation with retention or enhancement of potency. The simple methyl ester is easier to prepare (at least one step shorter) than the more complex pyrethroids modified on the alcohol moiety. The objective was to synthesise methyl esters of pyrethroid acids containing an aromatic ring on the acid moiety and evaluate their biological activity against Ascia monuste orseis Latr., Tuta absoluta Meyrick, Periplaneta americana (L.), Musca domestica L. and Sitophilus zeamais (Motsch.). RESULTS: The synthetic sequence required seven steps: protection of the hydroxyl groups of D ‐mannitol, diol oxidative cleavage with sodium metaperiodate, alkene formation by Wittig reaction with methoxycarbonylmethylidene(triphenyl)phosphorane, cyclopropanation, acetal hydrolysis with perchloric acid and oxidative cleavage with sodium metaperiodate gave methyl (1S, 3S)‐3‐formyl‐2,2‐dimethylcyclopropane‐1‐carboxylate. The final step comprised reaction of the aldehyde with five different aromatic phosphorus ylides to give the pyrethroids. CONCLUSION: An efficient and versatile synthesis of ten new pyrethroid methyl esters has been accomplished from the readily available D ‐mannitol in seven steps. All compounds showed insecticidal activity, and methyl (1S, 3S)‐3‐[(Z)‐2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)vinyl]‐2,2‐dimethylcyclopropane‐1‐carboxylate was the most active, killing 90% of A. monuste orseis and 100% of T. absoluta and P. americana.

An esterase, that has been partially purified from oat tissues, catalyses the hydrolysis of the wild oat herbicide benzoylprop-ethyl and of the related esters of N-benzoyl-N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-DL -alanine, including flamprop-methyl and flampropisopropyl. The enzyme is virtually stereospecific for the L -isomers in the racemic mixtures. Hydrolysis of flamprop-methyl in oat tissues shows similar enantiomeric discrimination, but the ethyl and isopropyl ester analogues are converted in vivo to the free acid with very little overall stereoselectivity. Oat tissues must, therefore, contain another enzyme, labile to isolation, that acts on the D -isomers of the higher esters. This was confirmed by showing that it is possible to manipulate the stereoselectivity of the de-esterification of the ethyl ester in vivo by selective inhibition of either the L -isomer pathway with paraoxon (diethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate), or the D -isomer route with piperonyl butoxide. The relationship of these findings to the superior herbicidal performance of the L -isomers of these esters, relative to their racemates, is discussed.  相似文献

The insecticidal activities to Musca domestica L. and Phaedon cochleariae Fab. of a series of 3-phenoxybenzyl pyrethroid esters with a cyano substituent at the 2-, 6-. (R)-α-, or (S)-α-position are compared with those of the unsubstituted analogues. Only an (S)-α-substituent enhances activity; others diminish or almost eliminate it. (RS)-α-mixtures are generally less active than would be predicted from the potencies of their separate constituents.  相似文献

Esters of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid with appropriate alcohols are more active insecticides than the corresponding 3-isobutenyl compounds (chrysanthemates). (±)-Cis and (±)-trans forms of the dichloro acid are obtained by fractional crystallisation of the mixed acids or by hydrolysis of the ethyl esters separated by fractional distillation. The (±)-cis and (±)-trans acids are resolved into their (+)- and (-)-forms with α-methyl-benzylamine and threo-l-p-nitrophenyl-2-N,N-dimethyiamino-propane-1,3-diol respectively. As for the corresponding chrysanthemates, the (+)-cis and (+)-trans acids give esters more active as insecticides than their enantiomers.  相似文献

The insecticidal activities against houseflies (Musca domestica L.) and mustard beetles (Phaedon cochleariae Fab.) of 29 new 5-benzyl-3-furylmethyl 2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropane-carboxylates are compared with those of the corresponding chrysanthe-mate (bioresmethrin) to assess the influence of non-ethylenic and isobutenyl substituents at position 3 of the cyclopropane ring. Of the new groups investigated, only 3-methoxyiminomethyl gives equal or enhanced activity; 3-(2-furyl) esters are moderately effective, but 3-phenyl and 3-alkoxycarbonyl compounds show weak activity. A 3-(2,2,2-trihaloethyl) compound was more active than compounds with other saturated groups, such as isobutyl.  相似文献

BACKGROUND

Chloris virgata is a troublesome weed in tropical regions. With the evolution of glyphosate resistance in key grass species, acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors have become a commonly used tool in soybean production areas in Brazil. We assessed if suspected resistant populations exhibited cross resistance to the different classes of ACCase inhibitors and investigated the resistance mechanisms in C. virgata.

RESULTS

Dose–response experiments revealed resistance to haloxyfop-methyl and pinoxaden, with 432- and 3-fold resistance, respectively, compared to susceptible populations. Due to the lack of genetic resources for C. virgata, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the genome using short-read Illumina technology. The k-mer analysis estimated a genome size of approximately 336 Mbp, with BUSCO completeness of 97%, and over 36 000 gene models were annotated. We examined if ACCase copy number variation and increased gene expression were involved in the resistance phenotype and found no difference when compared to a susceptible population. A mutation was detected in ACCase that encodes for amino acid position 2027, resulting in a tryptophan-to-cysteine (Trp2027Cys) substitution. We found the resistant population absorbed 11.4% less herbicide and retained 21% more herbicide on the treated leaf compared to the susceptible population. We developed a genotyping assay targeting the resistance-endowing Trp2027Cys substitution for quick resistance diagnosis.

CONCLUSION

A Trp2027Cys amino acid substitution in ACCase confers resistance to haloxyfop and pinoxaden in C. virgata. We provide important insights into the evolutionary history of C. virgata and a draft genome as a useful resource to further our understanding of the biology in the genus Chloris. © 2023 The Authors.

BACKGROUND: Previous research on insecticidal formate esters in flies and mosquitoes has documented toxicity profiles, metabolism characteristics and neurological impacts. The research presented here investigated mitochondrial impacts of insecticidal formate esters and their hydrolyzed metabolite formic acid in the model dipteran insect Drosophila melanogaster Meig. These studies compared two Drosophila strains: an insecticide‐susceptible strain (Canton‐S) and a strain resistant by cytochrome P450 overexpression (Hikone‐R). RESULTS: In initial studies investigating inhibition of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, two proven insecticidal materials (hydramethylnon and sodium cyanide) caused significant inhibition. However, for insecticidal formate esters and formic acid, no significant inhibition was identified in either fly strain. Mitochondrial impacts of formate esters were then investigated further by tracking toxicant‐induced cytochrome c release from mitochondria into the cytoplasm, a biomarker of apoptosis and neurological dysfunction. Formic acid and three positive control treatments (rotenone, antimycin A and sodium cyanide) induced cytochrome c release, verifying that formic acid is capable of causing mitochondrial disruption. However, when comparing formate ester hydrolysis and cytochrome c release between Drosophila strains, formic acid liberation was only weakly correlated with cytochrome c release in the susceptible Canton‐S strain (r2 = 0.70). The resistant Hikone‐R strain showed no correlation (r2 < 0.0001) between formate ester hydrolysis and cytochrome c release. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study provide confirmation of mitochondrial impacts by insecticidal formate esters and suggest links between mitochondrial disruption, respiratory inhibition, apoptosis and formate‐ester‐induced neurotoxicity.
