Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of insecticides, and in particular relates to a spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp Multi-component compound insecticide and preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Faced with the limitations of traditional synthetic pesticides due to environmental pollution and increased pest resistance, RNAi technology, with its high specificity and low residual potential, has become a revolutionary approach to green pesticides. However, it is limited by the susceptibility of dsRNA to degradation in insects, low efficiency of single-target targets, and high costs of target screening. The introduction of nanomaterials (such as chitosan and liposomes) protects dsRNA by encapsulating it and promoting internalization, but still struggles to overcome the limitations of single-target bioavailability. The existing commercial agent, spirotetramat, suffers from slow action and poor efficacy, further limiting its potential for rapid pest control. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Furthermore, the spirotetramat / SPc complex is formed by incubating the nanocarrier SPc with spirotetramat, and the mass ratio of the nanocarrier SPc to spirotetramat is 1-6:1.
[0007] Preferably, the ds Dpp The mass ratio of spirotetramat to SPc in the spirotetramat / SPc complex is 0.5-2:1.
[0008] The present invention also provides a spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp The preparation method of the multi-component compound insecticide comprises the following steps:
[0009] Step 1 is to incubate the nanocarrier SPc with an excess of spirotetramat to obtain a spirotetramat / SPc complex;
[0010] Step 2 is to combine the spirotetramat / SPc complex with ds Dpp Incubate to obtain the spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp Multi-component compound insecticide.
[0011] Furthermore, the incubation step in step 1 is performed at a temperature of 20-35° C. and for a time of 1-30 minutes.
[0012] Furthermore, the incubation step in step 2 is performed at a temperature of 20-35° C. and for a time of 1-30 minutes.
[0013] The star-shaped polycation (SPc), with its combined hydrophobic core and multifunctional hydrophilic shell, not only enhances the stability of dsRNA but also, through a multi-component synergistic delivery strategy, achieves a dual linkage effect of "gene regulation + chemical intervention," significantly improving control effectiveness and reducing R&D costs. This technological system, through the multifunctional integration of nanocarriers and the spatiotemporal synergy of multiple active ingredients, offers a new paradigm for addressing the challenges of RNA pesticide industrialization, combining high efficiency, sustainability, and environmental friendliness.

The experimental reagents used in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, are conventional biochemical reagents; the experimental methods described, unless otherwise specified, are conventional methods.
[0036] For the preparation method of SPc, please refer to the article "A Facile-Synthesized Star Polycation Constructed as a Highly Efficient Gene Vector in Pest Management".
[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0038] Example 1 Spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp Preparation of multi-component compound insecticide
[0039] 1.ds Dpp Synthesis
[0040] First, total RNA from each instar of P. persicae was extracted using an RNA extraction kit (Quanshijin, China), and its quality was checked by measuring RNA concentration and performing 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. Subsequently, the RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using a reverse transcription kit (Takara, Japan).
[0041] Obtained from NCBI website Dpp (gene number: LOC111033800), the target fragment primers were designed and synthesized (forward primer: GGTTTGCACACAACAACTGC, the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2; backward primer: TCCAGTGTGCTTTTCTGGCT, the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.3). Using the green peach aphid cDNA as a template, the above primers were used to amplify the target fragment by PCR. Dpp The target fragment was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. After the target band was recovered using a gel extraction kit, it was ligated with pMD19T-Vector and transformed into competent E. coli (DH5α) cells. The transformation product was evenly spread on LB solid medium supplemented with 100 mg / L ampicillin and incubated in an inverted manner at 37°C overnight. The next day, a single colony was selected as a template for PCR verification, and positive strains were sequenced.
[0042] Extract the plasmid of the strain with the correct sequencing results as a template and use the T7 sequence Dpp The primers were used for PCR amplification again, and the amplified products were recovered using a gel recovery kit. Finally, the ds Dpp .
[0043] 2.ds Dpp Analysis of the lethal mechanism of interference with green peach aphid
[0044] 150 ng of ds eGFP (control) and ds Dpp Twenty peach aphids were treated separately, with three replicates for each treatment. Total RNA was extracted 24 hours after treatment. After reverse transcription, the RNA was determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Dpp The relative expression of genes, such as Figure 1 As shown, it was found that ds DppMyzus persicae Dpp The expression level of α-glucose was reduced to 47.2%; the mortality rate within 3 days was observed and recorded, and the mortality rate was expressed as ds eGFP The treatment was used as the control and the corrected mortality rate was calculated as Figure 2 As shown, it was found that ds Dpp The mortality rate of green peach aphid reached 35.1%, ds Dpp The death phenotype of peach aphid after treatment is as follows Figure 3 As shown. Total RNA from each aphid tissue was extracted 24 hours after treatment using TRNzol (TIANGEN, China). Three independent samples were prepared for each treatment. Transcriptome libraries were constructed using the Illumina HiSeq sequencing platform and compared and annotated with the KEGG database using BLASTX. The expression level of each transcript was characterized by the FPKM value. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the ds Dpp Processing, ds eGFP The expression of 391 genes was significantly changed in the treatment. A total of 348 genes were up-regulated and 43 genes were down-regulated, such as Figure 4 KEGG analysis revealed that DEGs can be divided into multiple gene pathways, such as fat digestion and absorption, hormone synthesis and metabolism, and stratum corneum formation. Figure 5 DESeq was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different treatments, and the screening conditions were fold change ≥ 2.0 and FDR < 0.01, to further explore the ds Dpp The molecular mechanism of the lethal effect of interference on green peach aphid. Dpp Compared to ds eGFP Treatment, the expression of a variety of genes related to fatty acid synthesis was down-regulated, and interference was found Dpp Genes can reduce the synthesis of fatty acids in green peach aphids, such as Figure 6 As described. FASL、FACR1 and FACR3 Reducing the expression of the gene can significantly reduce the synthesis of fatty acids. FABP plays an important role in the transport of long-chain fatty acids in cells. ELOVL4 is involved in the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids and plays an important role in body wall development. Long-chain fatty acids are not only important components of cell membranes but also important respiratory substrates, interfering with Dpp This leads to a decrease in long-chain fatty acids, which seriously affects the growth and development of peach aphids, especially during the molting process when the consumption capacity is relatively high, resulting in the peach aphids being unable to molt successfully and dying.
[0045] 3. Preparation of spirotetramat / SPc / ds using nanocarriers Dpp Multi-component compound insecticide
[0046] After incubating the nanocarrier (SPc) with an excess of spirotetramat, the mixture was dialyzed using a 20,000 Da dialysis bag to remove any spirotetramat not bound to the nanocarrier. This resulted in a spirotetramat / SPc complex, and the drug loading efficiency of SPc on spirotetramat was calculated. Spirotetramat spontaneously binds to SPc in aqueous solution to form the spirotetramat / SPc complex. The UV absorbance of spirotetramat at 277 nm is proportional to its concentration. Based on this, the drug loading efficiency of SPc on spirotetramat was calculated to be 24.7%. Figure 7 Then, spirotetramat and SPc were added accurately according to the drug loading rate and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes to obtain spirotetramat / SPc complex. Subsequently, ds Dpp , incubated at room temperature for 15 min, and the ds Dpp The optimal binding ratio with spirotetramat / SPc complex is when ds Dpp After binding to spirotetramat / SPc, it is difficult to move in agarose gel under the action of electric field, e.g. Figure 8 As shown, when ds Dpp When the mass ratio of ds to SPc is 1:1, Dpp Completely bind to spirotetramat / SPc. Finally, add ds Dpp The spirotetramat / SPc complex was incubated at room temperature for 15 min to obtain spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp Multi-component compound insecticide.

The isothermal titration calorimetry results are as follows Figure 9 As shown, ds Dpp Has a low dissociation coefficient K with spirotetramat / SPc d (M) is 7.9×10 -6, indicating that there is a strong interaction between the two. The entropy change ΔH is -10.1 kJ / mol, the function change ΔS is 64.1 J / mol•K, and according to Gibbs free energy: ΔG=ΔH-TΔS, the Gibbs free energy ΔG of the interaction reaction between the two substances is calculated to be -29.2 kJ / mol, indicating that ds Dpp It can spontaneously bind to spirotetramat / SPc. Based on the ΔH and ΔS of the reaction, it can be inferred that ds Dpp The binding interaction between spirotetramat / SPc is mainly electrostatic.
[0050] In addition, high-sensitivity Zeta potential and particle size analyzer were used to determine spirotetramat, ds Dpp , SPc and its different combinations (spirotetramat / SPc, ds Dpp / SPc、Spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp ). Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the particle morphology, thereby characterizing the structural characteristics of the multi-component compound insecticide. The particle size of spirotetramat in aqueous solution was 350 nm, while the particle size of the spirotetramat / SPc complex was reduced to 142 nm. After dsRNA bound to spirotetramat / SPc, particles with a size of were formed, as shown in Table 1.
[0051] Table 1 Particle size of different components
[0052]
[0053] The results in Table 1 are consistent with the results of transmission electron microscopy. Spirotetramat is an irregular accumulation, spirotetramat / SPc is an irregular near-spherical body, ds Dpp It is a linear chain and forms spheres of uniform size after combining with spirotetramat / SPc, such as Figure 10 shown.

The above solutions were dripped onto the back of peach aphids, and then the peach aphid images were taken under a stereo microscope. The area of solution adhesion of different treatment groups was statistically analyzed using ImageJ software, and the area of solution in the water treatment group was used as the normalization benchmark. After the solution with brilliant blue marker was dripped onto the back of peach aphids, the area of brilliant blue adhesion was calculated, and it was found that ds Dpp There is a certain improvement in adhesion ability but no significant difference, spirotetramat / SPc and spirotetramat / SPc / ds DppThe multi-component insecticides increased by 1.5 times and 1.6 times respectively. Figure 11 shown.

The following treatments were set: water (control), SPc, spirotetramat (10 mg / L), spirotetramat / SPc (10 mg / L), dsDpp / SPc (100 mg / L), and spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp (Spirotetramat: 10 mg / L, ds Dpp Each treatment was fed approximately 20 peach aphids, with three replicates. Mortality was observed and recorded over a four-day period, and the corrected mortality rate was calculated using the water-treated group as the control.
[0058] The back plate drop method was used to further evaluate the effect of spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp The toxicity of multi-component compound insecticide to aphids. The treatment groups and concentration settings were the same as above. Each group treated approximately 20 peach aphids with 3 replicates. The mortality rate of aphids was recorded within 4 days. The corrected mortality rate was finally calculated using the water treatment group as the control. Figure 12 As shown, 4 days after treatment Dpp The corrected mortality rate of spirotetramat was 25.7%, the corrected mortality rate of spirotetramat was 60.7%, the mortality rate of spirotetramat / SPc increased to 79.5%, and the mortality rate of spirotetramat / SPc / ds Dpp The multi-component insecticide increased it to 98.0%, and almost all of them died.
[0059] To further investigate the effects of various treatments on genes related to fatty acid synthesis and physiological parameters in peach aphids, total RNA was extracted 24 hours after treatment. After reverse transcription, the relative expression levels of genes related to fatty acid synthesis, such as AAC, FAS, FABP, and FACR, were determined by quantitative PCR, with three replicates for each treatment. Furthermore, triglyceride levels in peach aphids were measured using a triglyceride detection kit two days after each treatment, also with three replicates for each treatment.
