The insect β-N-acetylhexosaminidase OfHex1 from Ostrinia furnacalis (one of the most destructive agricultural pests) has been considered as a promising pesticide target. In this study, a series of novel and readily available ureido thioglycosides were designed and synthesized based on the catalytic mechanism and the co-crystal structures of OfHex1 with substrates.
