Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and discloses a new use of alkylpyridinium salts in controlling plant parasitic nematodes, specifically relating to controlling plant nematode diseases caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Meloidogyne incognita. Background Art
[0002] Plant parasitic nematode diseases are the second largest category of diseases after fungal diseases in worldwide agricultural production, seriously threatening crop production and causing huge economic losses every year. Plant parasitic nematodes have a wide range of hosts and strong adaptability to various environments, so they are very difficult to control and prevent.
[0003] At present, chemical control is still the main measure for controlling plant parasitic nematodes. However, in agricultural production practice, the long-term and large-scale use of traditional chemical nematicides will lead to nematodes developing drug resistance and have adverse effects on crops and the environment. In this context, how to develop new nematicides with brand-new chemical structures and action mechanisms has become an urgent problem to be solved.
[0004] The most common cationic surfactants at present are quaternary ammonium compounds. As cationic quaternary ammonium salt organic compounds with broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, alkylpyridinium bromides and chlorides, their quaternary ammonium pyridine surfactants have been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry due to their bactericidal properties. The present invention further develops and explores the nematicidal activity of alkylpyridinium bromides and chlorides. In the activity screening of a series of alkylpyridinium bromides and chlorides carried out by the research group, it was found that pyridinium dodecyl bromide, pyridinium dodecyl chloride, pyridinium tetradecyl chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate, cetylpyridinium chloride, and cetylpyridinium bromide all showed excellent nematicidal activity against two major plant parasitic nematodes. Activity screening shows that these compounds can control plant nematode diseases caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Meloidogyne incognita. Therefore, the present invention aims to illustrate the use of alkylpyridinium salts in combating plant parasitic nematodes, provide a new strategy for nematode control, and make up for the gap in the types of nematicides on the market. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new use of alkylpyridinium salts in combating plant parasitic nematodes in view of the current lack of efficient and economical nematicidal agents.
[0006] The structure of the alkylpyridinium salt compound is as Figure 1 shown.
[0007] The nematode species with anti-nematode activity described in this application include: Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Meloidogyne incognita.
[0008] It has the following advantages:
[0009] 1) The present invention discovers that among the tested alkylpyridine chlorides, cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate, cetylpyridinium chloride, dodecylpyridinium chloride, and tetradecylpyridinium chloride all have good nematocidal activity. The nematocidal activity of cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the best, and the LC 50 value at 24 h is 4.03 μg / mL. The nematocidal activity of dodecylpyridinium chloride against Meloidogyne incognita is the best, and the LC 50 value at 24 h is 2.58 μg / mL.
[0010] 2) The present invention discovers that among the tested alkylpyridine bromides, dodecylpyridinium bromide and cetylpyridinium bromide have good nematocidal activity. Among them, the nematocidal activities of dodecylpyridinium bromide against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Meloidogyne incognita are both the best, and the LC 50 values at 24 h are 3.90 μg / mL and 3.02 μg / mL respectively.
[0011] 3) The present invention discovers that such high-activity alkylpyridinium salt compounds have a simple structure, low toxicity, safe to use, and excellent nematocidal activity, and are expected to be developed into new nematocides. Description of the Drawings
[0012] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the compound structures of Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments
[0013] To better understand the present invention, the above content of the present invention is further described in detail through the following specific examples. However, this should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. The experimental methods described in the following examples are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified.
[0014] Example 1: Determination of the Toxicity of Alkylpyridinium Salt Compounds against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
[0015] 1. Obtaining of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
[0016] The pine wood nematodes used in this experiment were obtained by laboratory culture, and the medium used was potato agar glucose medium (abbreviated as PDA). PDA medium formula: 200 g of potato (peeled), 20 g of glucose, 15 g of agar, 1000 mL of deionized water. After autoclaving at 121 °C for 20 min, it was taken out and reserved. Botrytis cinerea was inoculated onto the PDA medium, and the pine wood nematodes on Botrytis cinerea were collected by the Baermann funnel method for use in the experiment.
[0017] 2. Sample preparation
[0018] The alkylpyridinium salt compounds used in this example were purchased from Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Co., Ltd. and were prepared by dissolving them in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide).
[0019] 3. Experimental method
[0020] The nematocidal activity of the compounds was determined by the immersion method. Treatment group liquid systems made of sterile water and test compounds or control drugs at different concentrations were added to 48-well plates, with the number of nematodes per well controlled at about 50. Equal-concentration DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) was used as a control. Each test group was set up with three replicates and cultured at 25 °C. After 24 h, observations were made under a stereomicroscope. Nematodes that could move freely or respond to shaking the 48-well plate by moving the head and tail of their bodies were identified as live nematodes. After calculating the corrected mortality rate corresponding to each concentration, the median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) was obtained using the statistical analysis software IBM statistics SPSS27.0.
