A series of novel steroidal derivatives with a substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole structure was designed and synthesized, and the target compounds were evaluated for their insecticidal activity against five aphid species. Most of the tested compounds exhibited potent insecticidal activity against Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), Myzus persicae, and Aphis citricola. Compounds 20g and 24g displayed the highest activity against E. lanigerum, showing LC50 values of 27.6 and 30.4 μg/mL, respectively. Ultrastructural changes in the midgut cells of E. lanigerum were detected by transmission electron microscopy, indicating that these steroidal oxazole derivatives might exert their insecticidal activity by destroying the mitochondria and nuclear membranes in insect midgut cells. Furthermore, a field trial showed that compound 20g exhibited effects similar to those of the positive controls chlorpyrifos and thiamethoxam against E. lanigerum, reaching a control rate of 89.5% at a dose of 200 μg/mL after 21 days. We also investigated the hydrolysis and metabolism of the target compounds in E. lanigerum by assaying the activities of three insecticide-detoxifying enzymes. Compound 20g at 50 μg/mL exhibited inhibitory action on carboxylesterase similar to the known inhibitor triphenyl phosphate. The above results demonstrate the potential of these steroidal oxazole derivatives to be developed as novel pesticides.

To improve the insecticidal activity of (+)-nootkatone, a series of 42 (+)-nootkatone thioethers containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole moieties were prepared to evaluate their insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata Walker, Myzus persicae Sulzer, and Plutella xylostella Linnaeus. Insecticidal evaluation revealed that most of the title derivatives exhibited more potent insecticidal activities than the precursor (+)-nootkatone after the introduction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole on (+)-nootkatone. Among all of the (+)-nootkatone derivatives, compound 8c (1 mg/mL) exhibited the best growth inhibitory (GI) activity against M. separata with a final corrected mortality rate (CMR) of 71.4%, which was 1.54- and 1.43-fold that of (+)-nootkatone and toosendanin, respectively; 8c also displayed the most potent aphicidal activity against M. persicae with an LD50 value of 0.030 μg/larvae, which was closer to that of the commercial insecticidal etoxazole (0.026 μg/larvae); and 8s showed the best larvicidal activity against P. xylostella with an LC50 value of 0.27 mg/mL, which was 3.37-fold that of toosendanin and slightly higher than that of etoxazole (0.28 mg/mL). Furthermore, the control efficacy of 8s against P. xylostella in the pot experiments under greenhouse conditions was better than that of etoxazole. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed that in most cases, the introduction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole containing halophenyl groups at the C-13 position of (+)-nootkatone could obtain more active derivatives against M. separata, M. persicae, and P. xylostella than those containing other groups. In addition, toxicity assays indicated that these (+)-nootkatone derivatives had good selectivity to insects over nontarget organisms (normal mammalian NRK-52E cells and C. idella and N. denticulata fries) with relatively low toxicity. Therefore, the above results indicate that these (+)-nootkatone derivatives could be further explored as new lead compounds for the development of potential eco-friendly pesticides.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting nearly 65–70 million people worldwide. Despite the observed advances in the development of new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), still about 30–40% of patients cannot achieve a satisfactory seizure control. In our current research, we aimed at using the combined results of radioligand binding experiments, PAMPA-BBB assay and animal experimentations in order to design a group of compounds that exhibit broad spectrum of anticonvulsant activity. The synthesized 4-alkyl-5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivatives were primarily screened in the maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES) test in mice. Next, the most promising compounds (17, 22) were investigated in 6 Hz (32 mA) psychomotor seizure model. Protective effect of compound 22 was almost similar to that of levetiracetam. Moreover, these compounds did not induce genotoxic and hemolytic changes in human cells as well as they were characterized by low cellular toxicity. Taking into account the structural requirements for good anticonvulsant activity of 4-alkyl-5-aryl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones, it is visible that small electron-withdrawing substituents attached to phenyl ring have beneficial effects both on affinity towards VGSCs and protective activity in the animal models of epilepsy.
