The contact effect of residues on glass of the chitin synthesis inhibitor BAY SIR 8514 againstSpodoptera littoralis (Boisduval) larvae was investigated and probitlog dosage curves were established. The ED50 for cumulative mortality up to the adult stage was 0.0017 g/m2 for 100-mg and 0.004 g/m2 for 200-mg larvae. The toxicity of BAY SIR 8514 through this route of administration was considerably higher than that of diflubenzuron found in previous work. 相似文献

CME 134, a new benzoylphenyl urea chitin synthesis inhibitor, was less active than diflubenzuron and BAY SIR 8514, when tested againstSpodoptera littoralis eggs by a dipping method. AgainstS. littoralis larvae the compound was tested by feeding treated alfalfa, topical application and contact with crystalline residues on glass, followed by observation until the adult stage. With both 200–250 and 360–440-mg larvae 100% mortality was obtained by one-day feeding of alfalfa treated with 0.15 ppm a.i. Topical application to 100- and 200-mg larvae showed CME 134 to be about five and nine times more active than BAY SIR 8514 and diflubenzuron, respectively. These differences were even much greater in the contact tests. Cotton field plots were sprayed with either CME 134 or diflubenzuron formulations, leaves were collected at different intervals and fed for one day toS. littoralis larvae in the laboratory. 0.0009% a.i. CME 134 residues gave complete kill of 30–50-mg larvae after 5 and 20 days, and 86% kill after 28 days of aging. With 0.003 and 0.009% a.i., complete kill was obtained in 200–250-mg larvae until 50 days after spraying. 相似文献

Chitin polymerization is catalyzed by cell-free enzyme complexes from the integument of Trichoplusia ni larvae and wing tissue of developing Hyalophora cecropia pupae obtained on extraction of homogenates for 16 hr at 5°C in 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.2, containing 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 10 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, and 4 mg/ml digitonin. In contrast, integumental preparations from Boarmia selenaria, Earias insulana, Heliothis virescens, Oncopeltus fasciatus, Spodoptera exigua, and Tribolium castaneum exhibit little or no chitin synthetase (CS) activity. H. cecropia CS requires magnesium ions but not N-acetyl-d-glucosamine for normal activity and is almost insensitive to nikkomycin and polyoxin D. CS activity is not detected in diapausing H. cecropia pupae but synthesis of this enzyme is induced or its activity is stimulated by the molting hormone, ecdysterone, indicating possible hormonal control. T. ni CS requires magnesium ions and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine for optimal activity and is sensitive to inhibition by uridine di- and triphosphates, polyoxins B and D, and particularly nikkomycin. T. ni integumental CS activity decreases in starved larvae or those about to pupate. Both T. ni and H. cecropia CS enzymes as prepared and assayed are sensitive to captan but not to the potent insecticides diflubenzuron and BAY SIR 8514, two effective benzoylphenyl urea in vivo chitin synthesis inhibitors. 相似文献

The mechanisms of resistance to the chitin synthesis inhibitor diflubenzuron were investigated in a diflubenzuron-selected strain of the house fly (Musca domestica L.) with > 1000 × resistance, and in an OMS-12-selected strain [O-ethyl O-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)phosphoramidothioate] with 380 × resistance to diflubenzuron. In agreement with the accepted mode of action of diflubenzuron, chitin synthesis was reduced less in larvae of the resistant (R) than of a susceptible (S) strain. Cuticular penetration of diflubenzuron into larvae of the R strains was about half that of the S. Both piperonyl butoxide and sesamex synergized diflubenzuron markedly in the R strains, indicating that mixed-function oxidase enzymes play a major role in resistance. Limited synergism by DEF (S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate) and diethylmaleate indicated that esterases and glutathione-dependent transferases play a relatively small role in resistance. Larvae of the S and R strains exhibited a similar pattern of in vivo cleavage of 3H- and 14C-labeled diflubenzuron at N1C2 and N1C1 bonds. However, there were marked differences in the amounts of major metabolites produced: R larvae metabolized diflubenzuron at considerably higher rates, resulting in 18-fold lower accumulation of unmetabolized diflubenzuron by comparison with S larvae. Polar metabolites were excreted at a 2-fold higher rate by R larvae. The high levels of resistance to diflubenzuron in R-Diflubenzuron and R-OMS-12 larvae are due to the combined effect of reduced cuticular penetration, increased metabolism, and rapid excretion of the chemical. 相似文献

Egg hatch of two nitidulids,Carpophilus hemipterus L. andUrophorus humeralis F., was affected by the chitin synthesis inhibitor triflumuron (Alsystin; BAY SIR 8514)via the adult stage of the beetle. This occurred by exposure to treated diets, by a brief dip of the adults in aqueous dilutions of the toxicant, or by contact with a treated plastic netting cage. Exposure of adults ofC. hemipterus for 24 h to 0.0125%, 0.00125%, 0.00025% or 0.000125% and ofU. humeralis to 0.0125% a.i.-treated diets completely prevented hatch of eggs laid during the subsequent 48 h on an untreated diet. Although at first sterile eggs were obtained with adults of either nitidulid species transferred to an untreated diet after 24 h exposure to the 0.0125%-treated diet, egg viability gradually recovered. The speed of recovery and the course of mortality of larvae that hatched from eggs laid by treated adults, indicated thatC. hemipterus was more susceptible thanU. humeralis to triflumuron. DippingC. hemipterus adults — males or females — in 0.0125% a.i. triflumuron also resulted in complete prevention of egg hatch. Similar results were obtained by a 1-h contact of adults with treated cages. Triflumuron had no direct ovicidal activity against the two species at the concentrations used but was very effective against larvae of both species. At 0.0125% a.i., 3-5-mm-long larvae ofU. humeralis were more tolerant than newly hatched larvae and than 3-5-mm-long larvae ofC. hemipterus. Application of 0.0125% a.i. triflumuron in a date palm grove did not prevent fruit infestation by nitidulid adults but, due to prevention of egg hatch, almost no larval development was observed. 相似文献

The effect of diflubenzuron as a residue on glass or applied topically to Spodoptera littoralis larvae was investigated. Diflubenzuron was active as a residue on glass against 100 and 200 mg larvae; the toxicity of residues was identical whether a dispersable formulation or a wettable powder or the technical substance were used. By topical application, diflubenzuron had an ED50 for cumulative percentage mortality up to the adult stage of 004 and 0066 μg/larva for 100 and 200mg larvae respectively. Neither the site of the topical application nor whether the larvae were kept singly or in groups of ten after the treatment had an influence on toxicity. The data indicate that diflubenzuron has contact toxicity to at least one insect species as well as the known stomach poison action. 相似文献

The knowledge of the biochemical mode of action of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea (diflubenzuron) is presented, explaining the insecticidal effect. Like its structural analog, 1-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea (Du 19111), it inhibits chitin synthesis in the cuticle of larvae. Virtually complete inhibition was demonstrable 15 min after the application of diflubenzuron. Neither diflubenzuron nor Du 19111 has any effect upon chitinase activity either in vivo or in vitro. The insecticidal effect upon the cuticle, therefore, must be explained as an inhibition of chitin synthesis and not as an activation of chitin degradation. In contrast to the action of Du 19111, no accumulation of N-acetylglucosamine occurs upon treatment of larvae with diflubenzuron. Similarities and differences in the mode of action of both compounds are discussed, together with other effects reported in the literature. 相似文献

The activities of the chitin synthesis inhibitors, diflubenzuron and PH 60–38, against Spodoptera littoralis larvae were assayed by feeding treated alfalfa or poisoned wheat bran baits, by allowing the larvae to imbibe sucrose-containing aqueous dispersions of the compounds, and by injection into larvae. PH 60–38 was less active than diflubenzuron. On alfalfa, diflubenzuron had to be fed for at least 2 days to prevent formation of normal pupae and emergence of adults. For very big (480–540 mg) larvae, feeding diflubenzuron at concentrations of 50 mg/litre for 2 days or 2.5 mg/litre for 3 days prevented adult emergence. For 200–250 mg larvae, this was achieved by feeding concentrations of 100 mg/litre for 2 days, 5 mg/litre for 3 days or 3.5 mg/litre for 4 days. In all larvae > 150 mg, mortality in feeding experiments occurred in the prepupal or the pupal stage. Only with 30–50 mg and 100–150 mg larvae was there considerable mortality during moults between larval instars, the larvae being unable to liberate themselves from the old larval skins and head capsules. Diflubenzuron incorporated into wheat bran baits at concentrations of from 2.5 to 10 000 μg/g killed approximately 70–90% of the insects. When imbibed, diflubenzuron was much less toxic as a wettable powder than as a liquid formulation but the two formulations were equitoxic when injected into the larvae. 相似文献

The chitin synthetase (CS) of Tribolium castaneum gut is inhibited 50% by 0.02 μM nikkomycin and 4 μM polyoxin D, two pyrimidine nucleoside fungicides, in in vitro assays with 10-min preincubation of enzyme and inhibitor prior to substrate addition. Tribolium CS is also sensitive to inhibition by the pyrimidine nucleotides uridine and cytidine di- and triphosphates. Captan, a known inhibitor of insect chitin synthesis, and the related fungicides captafol and dichlofluanid are highly potent inhibitors of Tribolium CS. Moderately active CS inhibitors are the acaricide oxythioquinox and the herbicide barban. One phenylcarbamate insect growth reatardant, H-24108, is weakly active in inhibiting Tribolium gut CS, as are three of its analogs but not 26 others. Many triazines are not inhibitory including several herbicides and an azido derivative, CGA 19255, which is active in blocking insect growth and chitin synthesis. Although the benzoylphenyl urea insecticides diflubenzuron and SIR 8514 are potent in vivo inhibitors of the polymerization step in insect chitin synthesis, they do not affect T. castaneum gut CS activity in vitro and greatly stimulate Tribolium brevicornis gut CS activity in vivo. These studies and preliminary findings on an integumental enzyme indicate that CS of these tissues is not sensitive to the direct action of benzoylphenyl ureas. This leads to speculation that the benzoylphenyl ureas act either as CS inhibitors via active metabolites formed in the integument or as blocking agents by direct binding to non-CS sites important in chitin polymerization and fibrillogenesis. 相似文献

The effect of IKI-7899 and diflubenzuron on larval development and emergence ofTribolium castaneum and ofSpodoptera littoralis was determined. The LC50 of IKI-7899 at adult emergence ofT. castaneum larvae fed the compound in their diet and the ED50 of S.littoralis larvae treated topically were approximately one-sixth those of diflubenzuron. 相似文献

Small (70 mg) Boarmia selenaria larvae fed for 4 days on avocado leaves or alfalfa dipped in aqueous diflubenzuron suspensions suffered from severe developmental disturbances. Similar results were obtained with leaves sprayed in an avocado orchard, with which, in addition, the considerable persistence of diflubenzuron under field conditions could be demonstrated. The substance was also active by topical application against large (500–600 mg) B. selenaria larvae, whereas by contact it was only moderately toxic. Some other non-conventional control agents, viz., the antifeedant AC-24055 and several juvenile hormone analogues, were of medium and negligible activity, respectively, against this insect. 相似文献

The potency of diflubenzuron is much greater in inhibiting growth and development of 1st instar larvae ofTribolium castaneum than of 4th instar larvae, as expressed by death at the apolytic stage and retardation of larval development. A dose-dependent decrease in the activity of trehalase, invertase and amylase was obtainedin vivo with the increase in diflubenzuron concentration. At 5 ppm dietary concentration, a reduction of 37 and 27% in invertase and trehalase activity, respectively, was obtained in 4th instar larvae fed for 3 days on treated diet. The amylase activity was affected to a lesser extent. The observed disturbances of trehalase activity might hamper the supply of glucose needed for chitin build-up and those of invertase and amylase activity might affect feeding. Diflubenzuron does not inhibit these enzymesin vitro; hence, thein vivo effect seems to result from general disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism. 相似文献

The effect of a 24-h exposure of adults ofCarpophilus hemipterus to artificial diets treated on the surface with different concentrations of benzoylphenylureas, on the hatchability of eggs laid during the subsequent 14 days, was investigated. The order of persistence of sterilization at 5 ppm was chlorfluazuron (IKI-7899), 12 days > XRD-473, 10 days > diflubenzuron, 6 days > teflubenzuron (CME 134), 4 days. Three of the substances (chlorfluazuron, diflubenzuron and teflubenzuron) had no direct ovicidal effect whenC. hemipterus eggs were dipped in 1000 ppm dilutions, but the larvae that hatched from the treatments died within 2 days. 相似文献

Lipid from cuticle and viscera sequestered 35 and 40%, respectively, of the diflubenzuron taken up by larvae of Aedes aegypti. The rate of toxicant uptake was linear for the first 2 days of exposure. Following treatment of larvae with a mixture of MON 0585 and diflubenzuron, tanning agents and pigments were discharged into the rearing medium during pupation. In the course of poisoning, body fluids and cuticle accumulated soluble arylated peptides and tanning agents at the expense of the sclerotized mucoprotein complex. Changes in protein composition of the integument were indicated by decreased titers of bound phenylalanine and serine in both the immature and pupal stages, however, visual symptoms of poisoning were absent in larvae. Three amino acids linked to citric acid cycle oxidations, namely, aspartic and glutamic acids and proline, declined sharply in body fluids of poisoned animals while a conjugate resembling N-acetyldopamine-O-glucoside was retained. These biochemical lesions suggest the action of MON 0585 was due to (a) loss of benzenoid precursors of the crosslink to the rearing medium; (b) faulty active transport of tanning agents; and (c) unavailability of receptor sites for arylating groups on side chains destined for bridging. 相似文献

The chitin synthesis inhibitors diflubenzuron and teflubenzuron have recently become ineffective for the control of Spodoptera exigua in floricultural crops. An extended laboratory test with second-instar larvae of S. exigua on Vicia faba plants was carried out to determine the influence of synergists on the biological activity of three benzoylphenyl ureas (BPUs). The co-application of piperonyl butoxide, an oxidase inhibitor, did not increase the activity of diflubenzuron, teflubenzuron or hexaflumuron. The best results were obtained with diethyl maleate, for suppressing glutathione S-transferase activity, and with dimethoate, as a hydrolase inhibitor. A joint application of diflubenzuron (at a concentration which resulted in 43% survival) with diethyl maleate or dimethoate gave only 6.2 and 8.9% surviving larvae, respectively. In addition, development to fourth-instar larvae was inhibited. The more stable teflubenzuron was synergized by both compounds to a much lesser extent than diflubenzuron. None of the synergists had a significant effect on the activity of hexaflumuron, which was the most potent insecticide of the three BPUs tested against S. exigua. 相似文献

The rate of development of resistance to diflubenzuron in a laboratory susceptible strain of the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis Boisd., the pattern of cross-resistance exhibited by the resistant strain to several insecticides and juvenile hormone analogues, as well as the synergistic action of piperonyl butoxide (PB) and S, S, S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate (TBP) with insecticides or diflubenzuron on both strains, were investigated. Resistance to diflubenzuron increased slightly in the first eight selected generations and was enhanced by further selection until in generation 30, the selected strain attained the high level of resistance of 290.7-fold, compared with the parent strain. The resistant strain when challenged with either insecticides or juvenile hormone analogues at selected generations (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30) exhibited different levels of resistance to several insecticides representing organochlorine and organo-phosphorus compounds, carbamates and pyrethroids, but a clear case of negative correlation was indicated between resistance to diflubenzuron and juvenile hormone analogues. With regard to the synergistic action of PB and TBP on the toxicity of either diflubenzuron or insecticides against the fourth-instar larvae of the susceptible strain, methomyl showed slight levels of synergism when it was combined with them. With the exception of cypermethrin, which was not affected by the two synergists, lower levels of synergism were observed with the compounds endrin, diflubenzuron and fenvalerate when they were combined with the same synergists. These two synergists however, antagonised the toxic action of the organophosphorus compounds phosfolan and chlorpyrifos. Against the resistant strain, endrin was moderately synergised by TBP but only slightly by PB. Slight levels of synergism were observed when methomyl, phosfolan and diflubenzuron were combined with either synergist, but both antagonised chlorpyrifos and fenvalerate. Resistance to diflubenzuron and to the other tested chemicals in the resistant strain was scarcely affected by the two synergists. 相似文献

The two insecticidal benzoylurea compounds, diflubenzuron and chlorfluazuron, show large differences in their toxicity against the larvae of insects like the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens, or the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis, chlorfluazuron being about 100 times more toxic. This difference is due mainly to a much faster metabolism of diflubenzuron. Its half-life within the larvae is about 5 h, compared to about 50 h for chlorfluazuron. Chlorfluazuron is also the much better ovicide of the two, following injection of the compounds into the females of H. virescens. Again the difference in the rate of metabolism is the main cause. The rate of excretion of the parent benzoylureas is relatively low, but their metabolites are excreted very quickly. 相似文献

An epithelial cell-line from Chironomus tentans, able to synthesise chitin in considerable amounts, was used as a test system to study the influence of tunicamycin (I20=750 nM), the benzoylphenylurea derivative SIR 8514 (I50=100 nM), oligomycin (I50=200 nM), avermectin (I50=5 μM) and nikkomycin Z (I50,=50 μM) on the rate of glucosamine incorporation into chitin. Chitin synthesis was diminished by application of 20-hydroxyecdysone. 相似文献

Diflubenzuron, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea was used to control the pine looper population in about 1160 ha of Scots pine stand in eastern Finland in summer 1984. The control measure was effective, resulting in the collapse of the population in the treated area. Residues of diflubenzuron and two of its metabolites, 4-chloroaniline and 4-chlorophenylurea, were determined in water, pine needles, litter, humus, boleti and other wild mushrooms, bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and cowberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) samples taken from this area. In water samples taken from the treated area diflubenzuron was still detected at concentrations of 0.1 μg litre?1 2 months after application. No diflubenzuron was detected in this area the following year, nor outside the treated area. Neither metabolite was detected at any time. The sum of diflubenzuron and its metabolites in the litter layer was, on average, 0.7mg kg?1 both 1 week and 1 month after the application. The next year, however, it had increased to 1.4 mg kg?1. Diflubenzuron and its metabolites were not detected in the humus layer. The amount of diflubenzuron residues in the pine needles was, on average, 3.0 mg kg ?1 1 day after the application, but in 2 months the level had decreased to 0.2-0.3 mg kg ?1 or was not detectable. The following year the sum of diflubenzuron and its metabolites in two pine-needle samples was 0.3 and 1.6 mg kg ?1. The sum of diflubenzuron and its metabolites in wild mushrooms was, on average, 0.07 mg kg ?1 1 week after the application, but the following year no residues were detected. No residues were found in the boletus samples. The residues of diflubenzuron and its two metabolites in bilberries totalled, on average, 0.2 mg kg ?1 1 day after the application, and 6 μg kg ?1 the following year. The sum of diflubenzuron and metabolites in cowberries was, on average, 0.2 mg kg ?1 1 month after application. 相似文献
