BACKGROUND: The deployment of synthetic attractants for the manipulation of lacewing populations as aphid predators is currently used in integrated pest management. This study investigates a synthetic bait comprising floral compounds previously found to attract the Chrysoperla carnea complex, and, for the first time, the aphid sex pheromone components (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)‐nepetalactol and (4aS,7S,7aR)‐nepetalactone, in field experiments in Hungary, for their ability to manipulate lacewing populations. RESULTS: The synthetic floral bait attracted both sexes of the Chrysoperla carnea complex, and Chrysopa formosa Brauer showed minimal attraction. The aphid sex pheromone compounds alone attracted males of C. formosa and C. pallens (Rambur). When the two baits were combined, Chrysopa catches were similar to those with aphid sex pheromone baits alone, but carnea complex catches decreased significantly (by 85–88%). CONCLUSION: As the floral bait alone attracted both sexes of the carnea complex, it showed potential to manipulate the location of larval density via altering the site of oviposition. Aphid sex pheromone compounds alone attracted predatory males of Chrysopa spp. and can potentially be used to enhance biological control of aphids. For the carnea complex, however, a combination of both baits is not advantageous because of the decrease in adults attracted. Assumptions of intraguild avoidance underlying this phenomenon are discussed. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献

With Beauveria bassiana Lu 700 as biocatalyst an ecologically beneficial process has been developed for the production of (R)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propionic acid. The fungal strain used in this process, B. bassiana Lu 700, is also a very suitable catalyst for the selective monohydroxylation of other aromatic carboxylic acids.  相似文献

The optical isomers, (R)-1(α-methylbenzyl)-3-p-tolylurea ((R)-MBU) and (S)-1-(α-methylbenzyl)-3-p-tolylurea ((S)MBU), which are analogues of daimuron [1-(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)-3-p-tolylurea], a herbicide for Cyperaceae weeds and a safener for paddy rice, exhibited different biological responses. These two physiological properties of daimuron were observed separately in (R)-MBU and (S)-MBU. Only (R)-MBU had herbicidal activity against Cyperaceae weeds, while the (S)-isomer was a more effective safener against bensulfuron-methyl (BSM) injury of rice seedlings than was (R)-MBU. (S)-MBU promoted root growth of rice seedlings, but the (R)-enantiomer inhibited root growth. (S)-MBU was a more potent inhibitor than (R)-MBU on PS II reaction of spinach broken chloroplasts. Furthermore, (S)-MBU and (R)-MBU showed cross intergenus selective phytotoxicity among the Gramineae plants, Oryza sativa L. (rice, cv. Tsukinohikari, japonica), Triticum aestivum L. (wheat, cv. Norin No. 61) and Echinochloa crusgalli var. frumentacea Wight, on root growth inhibition in the dark.  相似文献

Inhibition of the Δ8-Δ7 sterol isomerase in the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway is known to lead to fungistatic or even fungicidal effects. Our approach to the rational design of new putative inhibitors of the enzyme was based on the assumed mechanism of the enzymic transformation and in particular on the structure of the unstable carbocationic intermediate, i.e. the ‘transition-state-analogue’ principle. The synthesis and the biological properties of 1(R)-(2,6-cis- dimethylmorpholino)-3(S)-(p-tert-butylphenyl)cyclopentane, a representative of a novel, potent class of rationally designed fungicides, as well as the synthesis and biological activities of several other related compounds are described and discussed.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Some twig beetles in the genus Pityophthorus (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) may vector pitch canker disease Fusarium circinatum (Niremberg & O'Donnell) of Pinus spp. (Pinaceae). Because Pityophthorus pubescens (Marsh.) has been found to be associated with F. circinatum in the Basque Country (northern Spain), various experiments were conducted to assess the beetle's behavioural responses to (E, E)‐α‐farnesene, (R)‐(+)‐limonene and (S)‐(?)‐verbenone to develop a potential inhibitor to host attraction. These experiments comprise electroantennographic and double‐choice olfactometer tests, as well as field assays in Pinus radiata D. Don stands. RESULTS: Both sexes of P. pubescens showed similar electroantennographic responses to different doses (from 1 ng to 1 µg in decadic steps) of each individual compound, with depolarisations to (S)‐(‐)‐verbenone (100 ng) being similar to those of the aggregation pheromone (+)‐trans‐pityol. In olfactometer assays, both sexes were significantly attracted to (+)‐trans‐pityol, but the attraction was reduced when increasing amounts of the chemicals were added to the pheromone. Particularly relevant was the repellent effect induced by (S)‐(?)‐verbenone at 1 ng dose and higher. In the field, (E, E)‐α‐farnesene, (R)‐(+)‐limonene and (S)‐(?)‐verbenone reduced significantly the number of beetles attracted to (+)‐trans‐pityol and racemic trans‐pityol, with (S)‐(?)‐verbenone being the most effective. CONCLUSIONS: (S)‐(?)‐Verbenone showed an interesting potential for use in the protection of P. radiata stands. A potentially effective strategy, which could be implemented in further, more in‐depth studies, could involve the use of this semiochemical as repellent and (+)‐trans‐pityol‐baited traps as attractant in a ‘push‐pull’ strategy.

Duplicate field trials were carried out on bulk wheat in commercial silos in Queensland and New South Wales. Laboratory bioassays on samples of treated grain at intervals over 9 months, using malathion-resistant strains of insects, established that treatments were generally effective. Fenitrothion (12 mg kg?1)+ (1R)-phenothrin (2 mg kg?1) was more effective than pirimiphos-methyl (6 mg kg?1) + carbaryl (10 mg kg?1) against Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Ephestia cautella (Walker); the order of effectiveness was reversed for S. granarius (L.). Against Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), T. confusum Jackquelin du Val and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), both treatments effectively prevented the production of progeny. The order of persistence was pirimiphos-methyl> (1R)-phenothrin>carbaryl or fenitrothion. During processing from wheat to white bread, residues were reduced by 98% for carbaryl, >44% for (1R)-phenothrin, 98% for fenitrothion and 85% for pirimiphosmethyl.  相似文献

Chinese violet (Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson) is a perennial invasive weed belonging to Acanthaceae. Leaves of this weed have been suggested to possess phytotoxic activity. However, phytotoxic substances in this weed have not yet been reported. Therefore, the present study investigated phytotoxic activity of Chinese violet extracts and phytotoxic substances. The extracts of Chinese violet leaves inhibited the root and shoot growth of cress, lettuce, alfalfa, barnyard grass, ryegrass, and timothy, where the level of inhibition increased with increasing extract concentrations. Bioassay‐guided separations of the extracts led to isolation of two phytotoxic substances, indole‐3‐carboxaldehyde and (6R,9S)‐3‐oxo‐α‐ionol. Indole‐3‐carboxaldehyde significantly inhibited the root and shoot growth of cress at concentrations ≥100 and 30 μmol L?1, respectively, and concentrations of the substance required for 50% growth inhibition were 210 and 127 μmol L?1 for cress roots and shoots, respectively. The other substance, (6R,9S)‐3‐oxo‐α‐ionol, was reported to have strongly inhibited cress roots and shoots. The present results suggest that Chinese violet contains two phytotoxic substances indole‐3‐carboxaldehyde and (6R,9S)‐3‐oxo‐α‐ionol, and those substances may play an important role in the phytotoxic activity of Chinese violet.  相似文献

The interaction of a novel pesticide, NMD (spiro[(2R,3R,4S)-4-benzyloxy-2,3-iso-propylidenedioxy-1-oxacyclopentane-5,5′-(2-nitromethylene-1,3-diazacyclohexane)]), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated by using absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy methods. Quenching of the fluorescence of BSA has been observed in the presence of NMD. The binding parameters were determined using Stern–Volmer equation. From the thermodynamic parameters calculated according to the van’t Hoff equation, the enthalpy change ΔH, and entropy change ΔS were found to be −2.71 kJ mol−1 and 82.56 J mol−1 K−1, respectively. These values suggested that, apart from an initial hydrophobic association, the complex is held together by van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonding. These results provided a quantitative understanding of the binding of NMD to BSA, which is important in understanding its toxicity in vertebrates.  相似文献

The effects of host-plant volatiles (HPVs) on male oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), and response to sex pheromone trap were studied in a pear orchard. Two HPVs compounds, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate and 1-undecanol, combined with sex pheromone of G. molesta in traps were tested. The results showed that most of the male moths were captured in the traps baited with the sex pheromone combined with these two HPVs compounds than by the pheromone alone. Also, more males were captured by the trap containing pheromone plus (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate than by the one containing 1-undecanol. It appeared that these HPVs act as sex pheromone synergists to enhance the attraction of male G. molestato pheromone traps, since males were not captured in the traps baited only with (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate and/or 1-undecanol.  相似文献

Metalaxyl [methyl-N-(2′-methoxyacetyl)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-d,l- alaninate] is a potent phenylamide fungicide. The (−)-(R)-isomer accounts for most of the fungicidal activity. A possible stereo and/or enantioselective kinetics of metalaxyl in rabbits was investigated by intravenous injection. The concentrations of (−)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-metalaxyl in plasma, liver, and kidney tissue were determined by HPLC with a cellulose-Tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-based chiral stationary phase and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. After intravenous administration of racemic metalaxyl (40 mg/kg), the (+)-(S)-enantiomer levels in plasma, liver, and kidney decreased more rapidly than the (−)-(R)-isomer. The area ratio of the (−)-(R)-/(+)-(S)-enantiomer under the concentration-time curve (AUC0 → ∞) in plasma after drug application was 1.62. The total plasma clearance value of the (+)-(S)-enantiomer was 1.53 and higher than that of the (−)-(R)-enantiomer. The [R]/[S] ratio in plasma was >1 for standard rac-metalaxyl at each time point. The other pharmacokinetic parameters of the enantiomers were also different. The results indicate substantial stereoselectivity in the degradation of metalaxyl enantiomers in rabbits.  相似文献

Cypermethrin and cyfluthrin were applied to wheat, which was stored for 52 weeks at 25 or 35°C, and either 12 or 15% moisture content. Total residues and the proportions of the four pairs of enantiomers, cis I [(αR),(1R)-cis + (αS),(1S)-cis], cis II [(αR),(1S)-cis + (αS),(1R)-cis], trans III [(αR),(1R)-trans + (αS),(1S)-trans], and trans IV [(αR),(1S)-trans + (αS),(1R)-trans] for each pyrethroid were determined at five intervals during storage. For all storage conditions, the cis I isomers were the most stable, and the trans IV isomers were the least stable. Calculated half-lives (weeks) for the pairs of enantiomers at 25°C (12% moisture) and 35°C (15% moisture) were: cypermethrin, cis I, 252, 62 and trans IV 66, 27; cyfluthrin, cis I, 114, 52 and trans IV 42, 23. The results suggested that one of the enantiomers of the cypermethrin trans IV pair was degraded faster than the other.  相似文献

Bromination of the dichlorovinyl group of cypermethrin yielded a new compound which is a highly potent insecticide. This dibromo adduct has four asymmetric centres and therefore can exist as a mixture of 16 stereoisomers. To establish the influence of the absolute configuration at the chiral centres on the biological activities of these isomers, each of the isomers was isolated; their insecticidal activities against larvae of Heliothis virescens, and adult Calliphora erythrocephala and Blattella germanica were then determined and compared with those of (S)-α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1R)-cis-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (deltamethrin NRDC 161), of fenvalerate, and of the eight stereoisomers of cyper methrin.  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

A cytokinin-like effect of chiral 2-α-methylbenzylamino-4-alkylamino-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazines was found using a rhizome-inducing assay with Cyperus serotinus Rottb. tubers. C. serotinus tubers germinated in distilled water yielded plantlets with roots and leaves. Secondary rhizomes were normally not observed within the regular 14-day incubation time in water culture, whereas after increasing incubation periods a very short rhizome appeared (controls). 6-Benzylaminopurine (BA) significantly stimulated rhizome induction, while other plant hormones were inactive. The (R)-isomers of the 1, 3, 5-triazine compounds also stimulated induction of the rhizomes, whereas the (S)-isomers did not. The described rhizome induction system seems to be suitable as a cytokinin bioassay. The (R)-1, 3, 5-triazine compounds showing rhizome-inducing activity (RI activity) inhibited root formation and plant growth at high concentrations with symptoms which were very similar to those of BA. Therefore, the (R)-isomers appear to act as cytokinins in the rhizome induction assay.  相似文献

Metabolism of the triazolylmethane fungicides triadimefon, triadimenol, and diclobutrazol by Aspergillus niger was studied using a replacement culture technique and 14C substrates. Components of metabolite mixtures were characterized by TLC, GLC, radio-GC, and GC-MS analyses of the free materials and their trifluoroacetate and trimethylsilyl ether derivatives. The three compounds underwent a common metabolic change involving oxidation of C(CH3)3 to C(CH3)2CH2OH. In this work the isopropyl analog of triadimefon, previously reported as a metabolite, was an artifact and resulted from nonbiological oxidation of the corresponding primary alcohol. The fungus also reduced triadimefon to triadimenol, giving a mixture of 1R2S, 1S2R and 1R2R, 1S2S diastereoisomers. The less fungitoxic 1R2S, 1S2R triadimenol predominated, so that this conversion may be directly associated with the relative insensitivity of A. niger to triadimefon. Implications of oxidative and reductive metabolism of these fungicides are suggested with particular reference to the differing fungitoxicities of diastereoisomers and enantiomers.  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

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

Various isomeric mixtures of pyrethroids were examined in topical application tests against houseflies, Musca domestica. On the basis of the activities of the separate isomers of 5-benzyl-3-furylmethyl (±)-cis,trans-chrysanthemate, it was shown that when combined in pairs to give the (±)-trans or (±)-cis or (+)-cis,trans mixtures the observed mortalities did not differ from those expected by simple additive action calculated by the harmonic mean. In contrast the (±)-cis,trans mixture showed considerable antagonism with a mortality only 60% of that expected. Similar evaluations using the separate and combined isomers of bioallethrin [(R,S)-3-allyl-2-methyl-4-oxocyclopent-2-enyl (allethronyl) ( + )-trans-[(1R,3R)-chrysanthemate] and the corresponding (+)-cis-(1R,3S)-chrysanthemate indicate antagonism calculated to be correlated with the content of the (R)-isomer of the alcoholic moiety. Hence the activity of the most active isomer of the “allethrin” series, (S)-3-allyl-2-methyl-4-oxocyclopent-2-enyl ( + )-trans-(1R,3R)-chrysanthemate, (S)-bioallethrin, is not fully realised unless it is present in pure form and a substantial part of the value of bioresmethrin (5-benzyl-3-furylmethyl ( + )-trans-chrysanthemate] as a killing agent is lost when the racemic form is used. In racemic mixtures there is mutual antagonism between pairs of isomers so that considerable masking of activity occurs.  相似文献

The quantitative relationship between the structure of optically active 4-substituted 2-methoxy-1,3,2-oxazaphospholidine 2-sulfides (4-RMOS) and their insecticidal activity on the house fly, Musca domestica L., was analysed using reported physicochemical parameters and regression analysis. The configuration at the C4 atom was more important for insecticidal activity than that at the phosphorus atom, since the coefficient of the dummy parameter for the C4- configuration was larger than that for the configuration of the phosphorus atom: (S)c(R)p diastereoisomers showed the highest insecticidal activity, and the activity decreased in the order of (S)c(R)p > (S)c(S)p > (R)c(R)p > (R)c(S)p. The electronic nature of the substituent at the C4 position was the most important, followed by the steric and hydrophobic effects: the more electron-donating, the less bulky and the more hydrophobic the 4-substituent, the higher the insecticidal activity. Thus the highest activity was obtained for the isopropyl derivatives, and the activity decreased in the order of isopropyl > isobutyl > ethyl > sec-butyl > benzyl > phenyl > methyl > tert-butyl.  相似文献

The baseline toxicity of 22 acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides and the cross-resistance patterns of chlorsulfuron- and imazapyr-resistant (R) lines on these 22 ALS-inhibiting herbicides were investigated using the model species Arabidopsis thaliana. The 22 herbicides consisted of 18 sulfonylureas (SU), three imidazolinones (IMI) and one triazolopyrimidine (TP). The ED50 values (doses of herbicides required to reduce dry matter by 50%) of the post-emergence-treated Col and Ler susceptible (S) lines ranged from 22 to 4822 mg ha−1 and from 17 to 3143 mg ha−1 respectively. The csr1-1 chlorsulfuron-resistant line (substitution of Pro197 to Ser) conferred a high resistance to the only TP tested as well as to nine SU herbicides (R:S ratio ≥30), a low resistance to two SU herbicides (R:S≥5 and <30) and little or no resistance to the three IMI and seven other SU herbicides (R:S <5). This result contradicts the expectation that an ALS mutation selected by an SU herbicide confers high cross-resistance to other SU herbicides. We found that the efficacy of specific ALS inhibitors was different for different species and therefore could not be predicted from our results with A. thaliana; however, the cross-resistance patterns in A. thaliana were highly correlated with cross-resistance patterns in unrelated species with the same resistance mutation. These results have implications for resistance management.  相似文献
