Design, synthesis and biological activity of novel substituted pyrazole amide derivatives targeting EcR/USP receptor

In order to discover highly active ecdysone analogs, a series of new substituted pyrazole amide derivatives were obtained using structure-guided optimization method and further screened for their insecticidal activities, in the basis of the core structures of the two active compounds N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(tert-butyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide (6e) and N-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-3-(tert-butyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide (6i), previously presented by us. The chemical structures of the title compounds were identified by spectral analyses. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that one among the synthesized pyrazole derivatives, compound 34, endowed with good activity against Mythimna Separata at 10 mg/L, which was equal to that displayed by the positive control tebufenozide. In addition, examples of molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies demonstrated that 34 may be the potential inhibitor to EcR and its docking conformation was similar to that of tebufenozide. In addition, increasing the hydrophobic effect and considering the suitable bulk effect on pyrazole ring are beneficial to the inhibiting activity to EcR and activity in vivo.

New analogues of (E)-β-farnesene with insecticidal activity and binding affinity to aphid odorant-binding proteins

(E)-β-Farnesene is a strong and efficient alarm pheromone in most aphid species. However, applications in agriculture are prevented by its relatively high volatility, its susceptibility to oxidation and its complex and expensive synthesis. To develop novel compounds for aphid control, we have designed and synthesized analogues of (E)-β-farnesene, containing a pyrazole moiety present in several insecticides. Their structures have been confirmed by 1H NMR, elemental analysis, high-resolution mass spectroscopy and IR. Binding activities to three odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) of the pea aphid Acythosiphon pisum have been evaluated and correlated with their structures with reference to (E)-β-farnesene. Several derivatives were shown both to bind to A. pisum OBPs with a specificity similar to that of (E)-β-farnesene and to have aphicidal activity comparable to that of thiacloprid, a commercial insecticide. The compounds synthesized in this work represent new potential agents for aphid population control and provide guidelines to design analogues of (E)-β-farnesene endowed with both insecticidal and repellent activity for aphids.
