Insecticide synergists are sought-after due to their potential in improving the pesticide control efficacy with a reduced dose of an active ingredient. We previously reported that a cis-configuration neonicotinoid (IPPA08) exhibited specific synergistic activity toward neonicotinoid insecticides. In this study, we synthesized a series of structural analogues of IPPA08 by converting the pyridyl moiety of IPPA08 into phenyl groups, via facile double-Mannich condensation reactions between nitromethylene compounds and glutaraldehyde. All of the oxabridged neonicotinoid compounds were found to increase the toxicity of imidacloprid against Aphis craccivora. Notably, compound 25 at 0.75 mg/L lowered the LC50 value of imidacloprid against A. craccivora by 6.54-fold, while a 3.50-fold reduction of the LC50 value was observed for IPPA08. The results of bee toxicity test showed that compound 25 display selectivity in its effects on imidacloprid toxicity against the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.). In summary, replacing the pyridyl ring with a phenyl ring was a viable approach to obtain a novel synergist with oxabridged moiety for neonicotinoid insecticides.

Structure-activity relationships (SAR) were determined for novel multisubstrate inhibitors of dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH; EC 1.14.17.1) by examining the effects upon in vitro inhibitory potencies resulting from structural changes at the copper-binding region of inhibitor.Attempts were made to determine replacement groups for the thione sulfur atom of the prototypical inhibitor 1-(4-hydroxybenzyl)imidazole-2-thione described previously.The synthesis and evaluation of oxygen and nitrogen analogues of the soft thione group demonstrated the sulfur atom to be necessary for optimal activity.An additional series of imidazole-2-thione relatives was prepared in an effort to probe the relationship between the pKa of the ligand group and inhibitor potency.In vitro inhibitory potency was shown not to correlate with ligand pKa over a range of approximately 10 pKa units, and a rationale for this is advanced.Additional ligand modifications were prepared in order to explore bulk tolerance at the enzyme oxygen binding site and to determine the effects of substituting a six-membered ligand group for the five-membered imidazole-2-thione ligand.
