Design, Synthesis, and Insecticidal Evaluation of New Benzoylureas Containing Amide and Sulfonate Groups Based on the Sulfonylurea Receptor Protein Binding Site for Diflubenzuron and Glibenclamide
摘要:
On the basis of the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) protein binding site for diflubenzuron and glibenclamide, 15 new benzoylphenylureas containing amide and sulfonate groups were designed and synthesized. Their structures were characterized by H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and elemental analysis [or high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)]. The larvicidal activities of the new compounds against oriental armyworm and diamondback moth were evaluated. Compound II-3 showed nearly the same level of insecticidal activity against oriental armyworm as commercial insecticide flucycloxuron and, thus, emerged as a new lead compound for the development of new benzoylurea insecticides.
trifluoromethanesulfinates to trifluoromethanesulfones (“triflones”) was developed as a synthetic method for obtaining these compounds Their utility as reagents for the construction of carbon skeletons is explored with regard to reactions such as alkylation, conjugation addition, and cycloaddition. In addition, the conversion of triflones to more common functionality is described.

A thermallyresponsive C−Se dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) that relies on the transalkylation between selenonium salts and selenides can be easily achieved by adding alkylation reagents to the selenide compounds. By incorporating selenonium salts into polyurethane networks, we observed that the materials exhibited good healing ability at elevated temperatures as well as solvent and creep resistance

The Escherichia coli outer membrane phospholipid:lipid A palmitoyltransferase PagP selects palmitate chains using its beta-barrel-interior hydrocarbon ruler and interrogates phospholipid donors by gating them laterally through an aperture known as the crenel. Lipid A palmitoylation provides antimicrobial peptide resistance and modulates inflammation signaled through the host TLR4/MD2 pathway. Gly88 substitutions can raise the PagP hydrocarbon ruler floor to correspondingly shorten the selected acyl chain. To explore the limits of hydrocarbon ruler acyl chain selectivity, we have modified the single Gly88Cys sulfhydryl group with linear alkyl units and identified C10 as the shortest acyl chain to be efficiently utilized. Gly88Cys-S-ethyl, S-n-propyl, and S-n-butyl PagP were all highly specific for C12, C11, and C10 acyl chains, respectively, and longer aliphatic or aminoalkyl substitutions could not extend acyl chain selectivity any further. The donor chain length limit of C10 coincides with the phosphatidylcholine transition from displaying bilayer to micellar properties in water, but the detergent inhibitor lauryldimethylamine At-oxide also gradually became ineffective in a micellar assay as the selected acyl chains were shortened to C10. The Gly88Cys-S-ethyl and norleucine substitutions exhibited superior C12 acyl chain specificity compared to that of Gly88Met PagP, thus revealing detection by the hydrocarbon ruler of the Met side chain tolerance for terminal methyl group gauche conformers. Although norleucine substitution was benign, selenomethionine substitution at Met72 was highly destabilizing to PagP. Within the hydrophobic and van der Waals-contacted environment of the PagP hydrocarbon ruler, side chain flexibility, combined with localized thioether-aromatic dispersion attraction, likely influences the specificity of acyl chain selection.
