Compounds 4i and 4k exhibited more potent insecticidal activities than matrine against Plutella xylostella and Mythimna separata. These matrine derivatives may be considered as promising insecticidal candidates.

New 1,3,5-trimethylpyrazole-containing malonamide derivatives based on pyflubumide were designed, synthesized, and characterized using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS). The results of preliminary bioassays showed that the target compounds possessed good activities against Tetranychus cinnabarinus, Plutella xylostella, and Aphis craccivora. Most of the target compounds exhibited moderate to good acaricidal activity against Tetranychus cinnabarinus at a concentration of 400 µg/mL, and some showed moderate activity at a concentration of 200 µg/mL; in particular, compounds 8m and 8p exhibited 70.0% mortality. In addition, some of the target compounds exhibited good insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella at a concentration of 200 µg/mL, especially compounds 8i and 8o, which achieved 100.0% mortality at a concentration of 100 µg/mL. Interestingly, some of the target compounds exhibited potent anti-aphid activity against Aphis craccivora at a concentration of 200 µg/mL; furthermore, compounds 8p and 8q demonstrated 100.0% anti-aphid activity at a concentration of 50 µg/mL. The preliminary analyses of the structure–activity relationships (SAR) indicated that the acaricidal and insecticidal activities varied significantly depending on the type of substituent and substitution pattern, which provides guidance for the further investigation of such structural modifications.

Background: Using constantly and widely chemistry insecticides has resulted in a selection burden and favored tolerance development in various insect species. Particularly, pyrethroids are the only one which can be used for net impregnation either ITNs or LLIN as yet, however, the excessive use of pyrethroids has led to many cases of insect resistance in worldwide. Therefore, it is urgent to develop novel insecticides fighting against this sort of resistance. Methods: Based on the preliminary studies, we explored a straightforward highly stereoselective method to achieve the novel chiral ester derivatives by using Oppolzer’s 10,2-camphorsultam as chiral controlling reagent. Results: A series of tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol oriented (S)-enantiomeric esters were designed and synthesized by the asymmetric synthesis. All the compounds exhibited moderate yields, and the original synthesized compounds have been evaluated for their potential insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella compared with those of fenvalerate and D-trans-phenothrin, and some compounds presented excellent insecticidal activities. Conclusion: The bioassay illustrated that some of the compounds exhibit obviously insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella, especially, the insecticidal activity of compound 5i was as good as commercial fenvalerate and D-trans-phenothrin, which can be used as a lead compound for further optimization.
