A series of nicotinamide derivatives based on Boscalid were prepared and tested for their activities against seven plant pathogenic fungi and two insects. The preliminary bioassays indicated that almost all of the synthesized target compounds displayed the antifungal activities and some of them also had certain insecticidal activities. And, compound 12 showed the strongest activity of all against Rhizoctonia solani (EC50 = 0.010 mg L−1) and Sphaceloma ampelimum (EC50 = 0.040 mg L−1), even stronger than Boscalid, a new nicotinamide fungicide. Additionally, both compounds 1 and 2 showed strong activities against Plutella xylostella (90% and 80%, respectively, at 1000 mg L−1).  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Mosquitoes are the most important vectors of human pathogens. Wide‐scale use of pesticides has led to the development of resistance to most common insecticide groups. The need to develop novel products that have a low impact on human health and the environment is well established. The toxicity of selected semiochemicals with molecular structures indicative of insecticidal activity was determined against adult Aedes aegypti (L.) and Anopheles quadrimaculatus (Say). The two most active insecticides against Ae. aegypti were also evaluated against Ae. albopictus (Skuse). RESULTS: Fifteen semiochemicals classified as terpenoid alcohols, ketones or carboxylic esters showed toxicity to both mosquito species. Geranyl acetone (LC50 = 38.51 µg cm?2) followed by citronellol (LC50 = 48.55 µg cm?2) were the most toxic compounds to Ae. aegypti, while geraniol and lavonax, with LC50 values of 31.88 and 43.40 µg cm?2, showed the highest toxicity to An. quadrimaculatus. Both geranyl acetone and citronellol were highly toxic to Ae. albopioctus. No semiochemical showed fumigation activity against either species. All semiochemicals persisted for less than 24 h when tested on filter paper. CONCLUSION: Quantification of LC50 values of several semiochemicals against Ae. Aegypti, An. quadrimaculatus and Ae. albopioctus showed that semiochemicals not only modify insect behaviors but also hold potential as potent insecticides for mosquito control programs.

The present study was undertaken to identify noncompetitive γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAR) antagonists that are effective in nematodes, as well as to examine the hypothesis that the noncompetitive antagonism of the GABAR underlies the nematocidal activity of quassinoids against free-living nematodes of the Diplogastridae family. First, 14 known GABAR antagonists were screened for the effectiveness of their nematocidal activity in Diplogastridae. As a result, 3-isopropyl-1-phospha-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane 1-sulfides (3-isopropyl-BPTs) were found to have high nematocidal activities, and 4-cyclohexyl-3-isopropyl-BPT (23) and 3-isopropyl-4-(2-propenyl)-BPT (27) were the two most potent analogues; these compounds are equipotent to samaderine B and more potent than the anthelmintic abamectin. 23-resistant nematodes, selected by challenge with 23, showed cross-resistance to samaderine B. 23 (10 μM) reduced [3H]23 binding to nematode membranes by 30.4%. Samaderine B (10 μM) resulted in a similar level of the inhibition, but had neither additive nor synergistic effects on the 23 inhibition of [3H]23 binding. These findings suggest that samaderine B shares a common binding site with the GABAR antagonist 23 in Diplogastridae. The results of comparative molecular field analysis, a method of three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis, supported this conclusion.  相似文献

A series of novel 7-bromo substituted derivatives of quinolinecarboxylate (4a-i) have been synthesized with short synthetic route and high yields. The structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR and MS. Anticoccidial activities of these compounds were evaluated according to the ACI (the anticoccidial index) method. The results indicated that four of the tested compounds (4a, 4b, 4e and 4g) exhibited anticoccidial activities obviously against Eimeria tenella at a dose of 27 mg kg−1 in the chicken’ diet. In particular, the anticoccidial index of compound 4b (introduction 4-bromophenoxy at C-6 and bromine atom at C-7 of quinolinecarboxylate) was 170.0, which indicated that this compound has high anticoccidial activity.  相似文献

The culture supernatant of a strain of Bacillus subtilis isolated from soil samples killed larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti. The metabolites produced by B. subtilis were characterized using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Mortality rate was dose-dependent for all larval instars of A. aegypti. Log probit analysis (95% confidence level) revealed an LC50 of 1.73 and an LC90 3.71 μg/ml. Molecular weights/masses of B. subtilis metabolites were confirmed using SDS–PAGE analysis. B. subtilis metabolites were confirmed using HPLC analysis. We demonstrate that secondary metabolites from B. subtilis have larvicidal activity against A. aegypti and may be suitable for the control of this and other mosquito vectors of human disease. The larvae to the metabolites, significant reduction in the activities of acetylcholinesterse, α-carboxylesterase, and acid phosphatases were recorded.  相似文献

Four alkaloids, 10-O-demethyl-17-O-methylisoarnottianamide 1, 6-acetonyl-N-methyl-dihydrodecarine 2, nitidine 3, and chelerythrine 4 were isolated from the plant Zanthoxylum lemairei (Rutaceae) and evaluated for mosquito larvicidal activity against the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. The mortalities of the larvae were determined after 24 h. The results of the larvicidal tests demonstrated that compounds 1 and 2 were the most potent with mortality rates of 96.7% and 98.3% at a concentration of 250 mg/L, respectively. Compound 3 was less potent with a mortality of 28.3% at the same concentration. The percent mortality of 100% was observed at a concentration of 500 mg/L. The least potent of the four alkaloids was compound 4, which achieved 100% mortality at 1000 mg/L. These findings could be useful in the research for newer more selective, biodegradable and natural larvicidal compounds or can be used as lead compounds for the development of larvicides.  相似文献

Novel acylpyridinium salt chemistry and directed lithiation methodology was developed to add for the first time substitutions directly to the phenylpyridine heterocyclic ring of nicotine. A variety of 3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)-4-(alkyl, aromatic, heterocyclic and silanyl) and -N-alkyl pyridines were synthesized (compounds 1-9). In vial tests with the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, compounds 1-4 were 1.1, 1.8, 2.3 and 1.9×, respectively, more active than nicotine and 64, 40, 31 and 38×, respectively, less active than acetamiprid. Against the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, 1-4 were 1.4, 2.1, 2.0 and 1.6×, respectively, more active than nicotine and 9, 6, 6 and 8×, respectively, less active than acetamiprid. For the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii, the activity of 1-9 was similar to nicotine. Compounds 7 and 9 when incorporated into artificial diet produced low mortality for larvae of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, but were not active against the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea. When 1-4 and 6-9 were injected into larvae of the beet armyworm, a variety of symptoms similar to acetamiprid were observed which included tremors, uncoordinated movement, diuresis, paralysis and death. In addition, imidacloprid-binding to membranes from the house fly head, Musca domestica, was inhibited by compounds 1-9, when using a concentration range of 1-100 μM. These studies demonstrate that our new chemistry enhances the insecticidal activity of nicotine with an apparent mode of action as an acetylcholine agonist.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The current study investigates, for the first time, the mosquito larvicidal activities of leaf and twig essential oils from Clausena excavata Burm. f. and their individual constituents against Aedes aegypti L. and Aedes albopictus Skuse larvae. The yields of essential oils obtained from hydrodistillation were compared, and their constituents were determined by GC‐MS analyses. RESULTS: The LC50 values of leaf and twig essential oils against fourth‐instar larvae of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus were 37.1–40.1 µg mL?1 and 41.1–41.2 µg mL?1 respectively. This study demonstrated that C. excavata leaf and twig essential oils possess mosquito larvicidal activity, inhibiting the growth of mosquito larvae for both species at a low concentration. In addition, results of larvicidal assays showed that the effective constituents in leaf and twig essential oils were limonene, γ‐terpinene, terpinolene, β‐myrcene, 3‐carene and p‐cymene. The LC50 values of these constituents against both mosquito larvae were below 50 µg mL?1. Among these effective constituents, limonene had the best mosquito larvicidal activity, with LC50 of 19.4 µg mL?1 and 15.0 µg mL?1 against Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus larvae respectively. CONCLUSION: The findings suggested that the essential oils from Clausena excavata leaf and twig and their effective constituents may be explored as a potential natural larvicide.

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors (GABARs) are an important target for existing insecticides such as fiproles. These insecticides act as noncompetitive antagonists (channel blockers) for insect GABARs by binding to a site within the intrinsic channel of the GABAR. Recently, a novel class of insecticides, 3-benzamido-N-phenylbenzamides (BPBs), was shown to inhibit GABARs by binding to a site distinct from the site for fiproles. We examined the binding site of BPBs in the adult housefly by means of radioligand-binding and electrophysiological experiments. 3-Benzamido-N-(2,6-dimethyl-4-perfluoroisopropylphenyl)-2-fluorobenzamide (BPB 1) (the N-demethyl BPB) was a partial, but potent, inhibitor of [3H]4′-ethynyl-4-n-propylbicycloorthobenzoate (GABA channel blocker) binding to housefly head membranes, whereas the 3-(N-methyl)benzamido congener (the N-methyl BPB) had low or little activity. A total of 15 BPB analogs were tested for their abilities to inhibit [3H]BPB 1 binding to the head membranes. The N-demethyl analogs, known to be highly effective insecticides, potently inhibited the [3H]BPB 1 binding, but the N-methyl analogs did not even though they, too, are considered highly effective. [3H]BPB 1 equally bound to the head membranes from wild-type and dieldrin-resistant (rdl mutant) houseflies. GABA allosterically inhibited [3H]BPB 1 binding. By contrast, channel blocker-type antagonists enhanced [3H]BPB 1 binding to housefly head membranes by increasing the affinity of BPB 1. Antiparasitic macrolides, such as ivermectin B1a, were potent inhibitors of [3H]BPB 1 binding. BPB 1 inhibited GABA-induced currents in housefly GABARs expressed in Xenopus oocytes, whereas it failed to inhibit l-glutamate-induced currents in inhibitory l-glutamate receptors. Overall, these findings indicate that BPBs act at a novel allosteric site that is different from the site for channel blocker-type antagonists and that is probably overlapped with the site for macrolides in insect GABARs.  相似文献

The efficacy of copepod Mesocyclops aspericornis (Daday) combined with the larvicide Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) and a plant extract of Plectranthus amboinicus leaf abstract (PALE), used jointly and singly, was studied against Aedes aegypti in the laboratory. P. amboinicus leaf extract of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 ppm caused significant mortality against Ae. aegypti larvae. The LC50 and LC90 values for I to IV instars larvae and pupae were 26.12, 35.36, 45.76, 52.32 and 63.82 ppm, respectively. The LC90 values for I to IV instars larvae and pupae were 82.53, 92.65, 108.06, 119.47 and 131.71 ppm, respectively. Under laboratory conditions, copepods treatment produced 7.9% predatory efficiency against 1st instar larvae of Ae. aegypti, at a copepod:larvae ratio of 1:10. When copepod treatment was combined with PALE this was increased to 8.7. The treatment of copepods combined with Bs and PALE yielded a better and more sustainable result (9.6%) than the agents used individually. This predation efficiency may be caused by detrimental effects of the P. amboinicus active principle compound (carvacrol) on the mosquito larvae. Our results suggest that the combined application of microbial insecticide (Bs), copepods and P. amboinicus leaf extract may be used to control Aedes populations.  相似文献

In the present study, the toxic effects on the embryos and larvae of the common carp were used as a model to investigate the organophosphorus pesticide, diazinon, which contaminates aquatic ecosystems. Data obtained from the diazinon acute toxicity tests were evaluated using the Probit Analysis Statistical Method. The control and six test experiments were repeated five times. The number of dead embryos significantly increased in response to diazinon concentrations 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg L−1 (p < 0.05 for each case). The 48 h LC50 value (with 95% confidence limits) of diazinon for common carp embryos was estimated at 0.999 (0.698-1.427) mg L−1. Dose-response decreases in hatching success were recorded as 84.60, 75.2, 54.1, 31.0, 6.0, and 0.0%, respectively (p < 0.05). The number of dead larvae significantly increased with increasing diazinon concentrations exposed for 24-96 h (p < 0.05). The 24, 48, 72, and 96 h LC50 values (with 95% confidence limits) of diazinon for common carp larvae were estimated at 3.688 (2.464-8.495), 2.903 (2.019-5.433), 2.358 (1.672-4.005), and 1.530 (1.009-3.948) mg L−1, respectively. There were significant differences in the LC50 values obtained at different exposure times (p < 0.05). The results of the study suggest that low levels (0.25 mg L−1) of diazinon in the aquatic environment may have a significant effect on the reproduction and development of carp.  相似文献

Deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid pesticide contaminating aquatic ecosystems as a pollutant, was investigated in the present study for toxic effects on embryos and larvae of common carp, Cyprinus carpio as a model. The control and five test experiments were repeated five times. The water temperature in the experimental units was kept at 24 ± 1 °C. The number of dead embryos significantly increased in response to deltamethrin concentrations 0.005, 0.05, 0.5, 5, 25, and 50 μg L−1 (p<0.05 for each cases). Dose-response decreases in hatching success were recorded as 75.2, 64.6, 47.4, 26.0, 14.4, and 9.0%, respectively. The lowest concentration of deltamethrin (0.005 μg L−1) produced a significantly decrease in number of dead larvae compared to control group (p<0.05). With increasing deltamethrin concentrations, the larvae exposed duration 1-48 h significantly increased the number of dead larvae (p<0.05 for each cases). The 48 h LC50 values (with 95% confidence limits) of deltamethrin for common carp embryos and larvae were estimated as 0.213 (0.103-0.404) and 0.074 (0.011-0.260) μg L−1, respectively. The results provide evidence that deltamethrin pollution may have an adverse effect on the reproduction and development of carp, which should be considered when this chemical is used in agricultural areas near aquatic ecosystems.  相似文献

In order to find the biorational pesticides, we have synthesized two series of daphneolone analogues including 5-methylfuryl chalcones and 5-nitrofuryl chalcones by optimizing daphneolone analogues from Stellera chamaejasme L. with the good insecticidal properties of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. All the synthesized compounds have been evaluated for anti-plant pathogenic fungi activities. The bioactivity assay showed that some of these daphneolone analogues were potentially active against plant pathogenic fungi, Rhizoctonia solani, Gibberella zeae, Bipolaris maydis, Sclerotia sclerotium and Botrytis cirerea, while the most potent 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)propenone (compound 7) in this study showed good inhibitory activity against R. solani at 200 mg L−1 with ca. 100% inhibition.  相似文献

The present study was conducted to determine the 96 h-LC50 of benomyl to the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and to investigate the biochemical or hematological indices of blood and the alterations in the antioxidant enzymes of this fish in response to sublethal concentrations of benomyl. Fish weighing 71.61 ± 12.05 g were used in this study; they were subjected to fasting for 4 weeks before treatment. An aqueous solution of benomyl (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 mg L−1) was administered for 96 h to determine the LC50. The 96 h-LC50 value of benomyl was 4.39 (3.23-5.60) mg L−1 in the present study. For 5 weeks, the aqueous solution of benomyl (0, 100, 200, and 400 μg L−1) was administered to investigate its effect on the hematological parameters and antioxidant enzymes. The predominant hematological findings in fish exposed to benomyl were as follows: no significant change in the Hb (g dL−1) level, MCV (μm3), MCH (pg) and MCHC (%) as compared to the control. Benomyl exposure led to greater increases in the GPT, GOT (Karmen-unit), LDH (Wroblewski unit), total cholesterol, Fe, and Ca (mg dL−1) values, whereas the levels of ALP (KA unit), total protein, triglyceride, albumin, and Mg (mg dL−1) did not increase. Benomyl increased the in vivo HSI (%), GST (nmol min−1 mg protein−1), and SOD (U mg protein−1) values in the fish livers in the test group, unlike those in the control group for 5 weeks. At concentrations higher than 100 μg L−1, benomyl affected the GST and SOD levels of Nile tilapia in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The present findings suggest that the in vivo hepatotoxicity associated with benomyl may, in part, result from the hematological index, and antioxidants may provide limited protection against benomyl toxicity.  相似文献

The current study involved evaluation of the toxicity of acetone soluble fraction of the ethanol extract of Annona squamosa Linn. seeds on Aedes albopictus (Skuse). Toxicity of fresh sample has been compared with that of solar radiated and heat treated aliquots of the same. Acute toxicity of fresh acetone fraction on adults was evident with LC50 and LC90 values of 15.21 and 60.38 μg/ml, respectively. Larvicidal bioassays recorded LC50 and LC90 values ranging from 0.44 to 5.97 and 1.64-43.36 μg/ml, respectively for different instars. Ovicidal bioassays yielded EC50 and EC90 values of 18.82 and 69.61 μg/ml. The study further revealed ovipositional deterrent and chemosterilant activities of the extract on the target mosquito. Bioassays using solar radiation and heat treated samples of the active fraction have showed toxicity levels similar to those of fresh sample. Chemical analysis of acetone soluble fraction of seed extract of A. squamosa has reveled ethyl oleate and iso-octyl phthalate as major components. Adulticidal, larvicidal, ovicidal, ovipositional deterrent and chemosterilant activities of the fraction on A. albopictus were proved. The investigation further confirmed stability of the active fraction on exposure to solar radiation and high temperature.  相似文献

Huanong AVM is a novel nematicide, which was synthesized from avermectin by selective oxidization of the hydroxyl group at C-4, followed by the reaction with glacial acetic acid. Effects of Huanong AVM on Bursaphelechus xylophilus are reported in this paper. Huanong AVM had strong nematicidal activity against B. xylophilus, with LC50 values of 14.84 μg/mL, 12.49 μg/mL and 11.05 μg/mL, respectively, at 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after treatment. The proteins that responded to Huanong AVM were identified by proteomic analysis. 2-DE analysis revealed eighteen differentially accumulated protein spots. Five spots were successfully identified by MS analysis, and three Huanong AVM induced proteins were annotated in the database as LEVamisole resistant family member (lev-11), ACTin family member (act-4) and Hypothetical protein Y52B11A.10. Two Huanong AVM-up-regulated proteins were assigned as PIP Kinase family member (ppk-3) and Hypothetical protein B0432.6. These proteins are involved in signal transduction, maintaining cytoskeletal structure and LEVamisole resistance. These results point to pathways that are important for the mode of the action of Huanong AVM on B. xylophilus.  相似文献

A series of 3-(2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl) quinazolinone derivatives were designed and synthesized as anticoccidial agents by modifying the quinazoline ring of febrifugine. All the compounds were biologically evaluated according to the ACI method, and four of them exhibited anticoccidial activity against Eimeria tenella in the chicken at a dose of 9 mg/kg. Compound 5e shows ACI value at 173.2 and is as potent as decoquinate. These data suggest that 5e possesses high anticoccidial activity and may serve as a lead compound for the development of anticoccidial drugs in the future.  相似文献

A discriminating dose for permethrin for Aedes aegypti from Baja California, Mexico was determined, and was used to select individuals. Mosquitoes were collected from four different municipalities located in the north and south end of the Baja California Peninsula. Individuals were chosen for further study based on their similar response to the insecticide. We exposed 10 groups of 90 Ae. aegypti females to the discriminating dose (172 μg/ml) and after producing 50% mortality, individuals were divided into two categories: killed and survivors. Each of these groups was dissected to separate the head, thorax, and abdomen. Biochemical tests were performed on the head and thorax to determine resistance-related enzyme activities including: α- and β-esterases, glutathione S-transferase, acetyl cholinesterase, insensitive acetyl cholinesterase, and mixed-function oxidases. The results were compared with those for the susceptible New Orleans strain of Ae. aegypti. All the populations studied showed the consistent presence of α-esterases, with elevated levels in permethrin-selected populations. Although β-esterases and GST levels were present in high proportions, they did not reveal a clear pattern in relation to resistance.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti L. is the major vector of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever. In an effort to find effective tools for control programs to reduce mosquito populations, the authors assessed the acute toxicities of 14 monoterpenoids, trans‐anithole and the essential oil of rosemary against different larval stages of Ae. aegypti. The potential for piperonyl butoxide (PBO) to act as a synergist for these compounds to increase larvicidal activity was also examined, and the oviposition response of gravid Ae. aegypti females to substrates containing these compounds was evaluated in behavioral bioassays. RESULTS: Pulegone, thymol, eugenol, trans‐anithole, rosemary oil and citronellal showed high larvicidal activity against all larval stages of Ae. aegypti (LC50 values 10.3–40.8 mg L?1). The addition of PBO significantly increased the larvicidal activity of all test compounds (3–250‐fold). Eugenol, citronellal, thymol, pulegone, rosemary oil and cymene showed oviposition deterrent and/or repellent activities, while the presence of borneol, camphor and β‐pinene increased the number of eggs laid in test containers. CONCLUSIONS: This study quantified the lethal and sublethal effects of several phytochemical compounds against all larval stages of Aedes aegypti, providing information that ultimately may have potential in mosquito control programs through acute toxicity and/or the ability to alter reproductive behaviors.
