Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of compound preparation, specifically relating to a method for preparing diazonopyr using marine fungus GHQ-208. Background Technology

[0002] Pesticides play a vital role in agricultural production and public health, but with increasing pest resistance and rising environmental safety requirements, there is an urgent need to develop novel, highly effective, and low-toxicity pesticides. Currently, global agriculture faces a growing threat from pests, particularly piercing-sucking insects such as aphids, which severely damage various crops including vegetables, fruits, grains, and tea, leading to significant declines in yield and quality. However, long-term reliance on traditional pesticides (such as organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, and neonicotinoids) has resulted in increasingly prominent pesticide resistance problems. Some aphid populations have even developed resistance hundreds to thousands of times to existing pesticides, severely reducing control effectiveness. Furthermore, the high toxicity of traditional pesticides to non-target organisms such as bees and aquatic life raises serious ecological safety concerns. Therefore, developing novel, highly effective, and environmentally friendly pesticides with novel mechanisms of action has become a key research focus, crucial for ensuring sustainable agricultural development and reducing ecological risks.

[0003] Pyripyropene A (PP-A) is a meroterpenoid compound derived from Aspergillus fumigatus FO-1289, which has significant insecticidal activity and pharmacological effects.

[0004] In agriculture, PP-A is a green and highly effective insecticide with a mechanism of action different from traditional neurotoxic or respiratory-inhibiting insecticides. Studies have shown that PP-A specifically targets proteins related to the insect nervous system, causing pests to exhibit abnormal excitement and excessive wandering behavior, ultimately leading to death. This compound exhibits excellent insecticidal activity against major agricultural pests such as aphids and whiteflies, with an LC50 as low as 0.98 mg / L against juvenile aphids and only 2.5 mg / L against whiteflies. Furthermore, it causes no phytotoxicity to crops and possesses outstanding environmentally friendly characteristics.

[0005] Furthermore, PP-A is one of the most potent known inhibitors of cholesterol-O-acyltransferase (SOAT), with an IC50 of up to 58 nM for its inhibitory activity against SOAT, and it exhibits high selectivity for the SOAT-2 subtype in human hepatocytes. This characteristic makes it a promising candidate for pharmaceutical development in the treatment of dyslipidemia-related diseases such as atherosclerosis and steatosis.

[0006] Based on the unique insecticidal mechanism and pharmacological activity of PP-A, the development of its novel derivatives or formulations is of great significance for solving the problem of resistance to existing insecticides and expanding their application in the pharmaceutical field.
