Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of medicinal chemistry and plant protection technology, specifically to a benzimidazole salt compound with insecticidal activity, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the continued rapid growth of the global population, food security has become a major challenge facing human society. Plant diseases and pests, as major threats to agricultural production, seriously affect food supply security and the balance of plant ecosystems. These harmful organisms not only cause damage such as reduced crop yields, slowed growth, and leaf drop, but may also trigger secondary diseases. Statistics show that more than 50% of annual crop yield losses are caused by diseases and pests. Pesticides, as an indispensable plant protection tool in modern agricultural production systems, play a crucial role in pest control, ensuring agricultural harvests, and maintaining food security. However, the long-term and extensive use of traditional chemical pesticides, while bringing huge economic benefits, has also brought adverse effects such as environmental pollution, resistance, resurgence, and residues. To address these problems with current pesticides, it is essential to develop new, green, efficient, and low-risk pesticides.
[0003] Benzimidazole, as a nitrogen-containing bicyclic heterocyclic compound, has become a core framework for drug design due to its broad biological activity and excellent structural modifiability. Drugs developed based on its structure cover not only anti-infective fields such as antiparasitic and antifungal agents, and anti-proliferative activities such as antitumor and antimalarial drugs, but also various active drugs for treating metabolic diseases such as hypertension and regulating the nervous system such as anticonvulsants. Imidazole salts belong to the ionic liquid category and possess environmentally friendly properties such as low volatility and high thermal stability, as well as bioactivity driven by structure design. These properties give imidazole salts enormous application potential and unique technological advantages in the field of green pesticide creation. Therefore, researching novel benzimidazole salt compounds, exploring their structure-activity relationships, and screening highly active, highly selective, and environmentally friendly lead compounds is of significant theoretical and practical value for promoting the innovative development of next-generation green pesticides.

[0054] Tests to determine the insecticidal activity of the compounds used in Examples 1-18 To investigate the control effects of the compound on pests, experiments were conducted on the following species: armyworm, diamondback moth, cereal aphid, and Aedes aegypti.
[0055] Insect rearing methods: The Aedes aegypti mosquitoes used in this study included two different strains: the Waco strain (a wild type sensitive to pyrethroids) and the Puerto Rico strain (resistant to pyrethroids), both kindly donated by Professor Dong Ke of Duke University and reared in the insect rearing room of the Pesticide Research Institute of Northwest A&F University. Aedes aegypti mosquito rearing conditions: temperature 25±3℃, relative humidity (RH) 70±2%, photoperiod 12 (L):12 (D). Larvae were reared in dechlorinated water and fed a mixed feed (pig liver powder: bread flour = 1:1) daily according to their age, with fresh dechlorinated water changed every other day. Adult mosquitoes were fed 10% sucrose water, and adult live mice (experimental animal use license number: SCXK 2018-001) were used as the blood source for female adult mosquitoes. Armyworms, millipedesmus, and diamondback moths were reared in the insect rearing room of the Pesticide Research Institute of Northwest A&F University. Rearing conditions: room temperature 25±3℃.
[0056] Activity test of Aedes aegypti: Following the World Health Organization (WHO) 2005 recommended standard method for larval immersion, the toxic activity of the test compound against Aedes aegypti larvae of different instars was evaluated. The specific procedure was as follows: The compound was dissolved in acetone to prepare a stock solution, which was then serially diluted to five concentration gradients. Thirty healthy larvae of the same instar, uniform in size and color, were selected and placed in beakers containing 99 mL of dechlorinated water. One mL of each concentration of the drug solution was added and mixed thoroughly. All beakers were placed in a temperature-controlled light incubator consistent with rearing conditions (temperature 25±3℃, RH 70±2%, photoperiod 12L:12D). Larval mortality was checked after 24 hours. The positive control group was treated with permethrin, and the solvent control group was treated with acetone. Larval mortality criteria: The larvae were considered dead if they did not react when lightly touched with an insect needle, were paralyzed, and lost their ability to swim freely in water (i.e., the escape response disappeared). The mortality rate in the solvent control group should be less than 10%; toxicity tests for each age group should be independently repeated 3-4 times.
[0057] Activity test of *Aphidius gracilis*: Leaf immersion method. The test compound was dissolved in DMSO to prepare a stock solution, which was then diluted with an aqueous solution containing 0.1% Tween-80 to the target concentration (final concentration DMSO ≤ 0.1% v / v). Wheat leaves infested with aphids were vertically immersed in the solution for 10 s, drained, and placed in a petri dish (9 cm in diameter) lined with absorbent filter paper. An aqueous solution containing 0.1% Tween-80 (containing 0.1% DMSO) was used as a blank control. Each treatment group contained 20-30 wingless adult aphids, with three biological replicates. After treatment, the aphids were placed in a rearing room. Mortality was counted after 48 h, with mortality defined as complete lack of movement response in the aphids' legs (no response to light touch). Compounds with a corrected mortality rate ≥ 50% were subjected to LC-intervention. 50 Toxicity testing.
[0058] The corrected mortality rate (%) is calculated using the following formula: Corrected mortality rate = (treatment group mortality rate - control group mortality rate) ÷ (1 - control group mortality rate) × 100; if the control mortality rate is > 20%, the calculation needs to be repeated.
[0059] Activity test of *Armoria spp.*: Fresh wheat leaves were cut into 5 mm × 5 mm pieces and immersed in an acetone solution (1 mg / mL) containing the test compound for 5 seconds. After the acetone evaporated, the drug-loaded leaves were placed in a 24-well plate (1 leaf / well), and one third-instar larva was introduced into each well. Each treatment was repeated 3-4 times, with 24 larvae per replicate. Permethrin was used as a positive control, and acetone was used as a blank negative control. The mortality rate of the test insects was then recorded at 24 h and 48 h. For compounds with a lethality rate >40%, the median lethal concentration (LC50) was further determined. 50 To judge toxicity.
[0060] Viability test of diamondback moth: The test compound, HA, and permethrin were first dissolved in DMSO to prepare a stock solution of 20 mg / mL. This stock solution was then diluted with 0.1% Tween-80 aqueous solution to a working solution of 0.1 mg / mL, ensuring the final DMSO concentration did not exceed 0.1% (volume ratio). Fresh rapeseed leaves (approximately 3 cm in diameter) were vertically immersed in the working solution for 10 seconds and drained. The petioles were then wrapped with moistened absorbent cotton to maintain moisture and placed in petri dishes. Twelve identical third-instar larvae were placed in each petri dish, and the dish was sealed with plastic wrap to prevent escape. The dishes were placed in a rearing room, and three independent biological replicates were performed. Mortality was determined by the absence of contraction upon gentle touch of the larvae's abdominal legs with a fine needle (complete lack of motility). The number of dead larvae was recorded after 72 hours, and the mortality rate was calculated. LC-LC was performed on compounds with a mortality rate ≥50%. 50 Measurement.

[0068] Table 1 shows the activity of the compounds against the third instar larvae of the Waco strain of Aedes aegypti at a concentration of 10 μg / mL. The initial screening results are shown in Table 1. Compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5, I-6, and II-3 showed a mortality rate of over 59%. Compounds with a mortality rate of over 50% were further screened (Table 2). Compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5, I-6, and II-3, and permethrin showed activity against the Waco strain LC50. 50 The values were 6.192 μg / mL, 4.651 μg / mL, 1.625 μg / mL, 1.667 μg / mL, 0.626 μg / mL, 0.712 μg / mL, 7.516 μg / mL, and 0.065 μg / mL, respectively. Simultaneously, the LC50 of the compound against the permethrin-resistant PuertoRico strain of Aedes aegypti was determined. 50 (Table 3), LC50 of I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5, I-6, II-3, and permethrin 50The values were 1.904 μg / mL, 0.558 μg / mL, 1.033 μg / mL, 0.552 μg / mL, 0.517 μg / mL, 0.395 μg / mL, 5.417 μg / mL, and 1.474 μg / mL, respectively, all of which showed greater sensitivity to the resistant Puerto Rico strain. Their toxicity to sensitive and resistant strains and their resistance are shown in Table 2. The LC50 values of compound I-2Waco and the Puerto Rico strain are also shown. 50 The resistance values were 4.651 μg / mL and 0.558 μg / mL, respectively, with a resistance ratio of (4.651 / 0.558) = 0.12. The resistance ratios of compounds I-1 and I-4 were both 0.33. In comparison, permethrin showed better resistance to Waco and Puerto Rico strains. 50 The values were 0.065 μg / mL and 1.474 μg / mL, respectively, with a resistance ratio as high as 22.67 (1.474 / 0.065). Compounds I-2, I-1, and I-4 showed higher sensitivity to the resistant strain and exhibited a typical negative cross-resistance relationship with permethrin.
[0069] The aphid-killing activity of the compounds was evaluated at a concentration of 0.1 mg / mL against *Aphidius gracilis*, and the results are shown in Table 3. Among the 21 compounds, compound I-2 achieved a mortality rate of 50% at 48 h. As shown in Table 4, its LC50... 50 The value was 115.00 μg / mL, while the LC50 of permethrin was... 50 The value was 26.478 μg / mL.
[0070] The activity of the compounds against *Armoria spp.* was evaluated at a concentration of 1 mg / mL, using permethrin as a control. The results are shown in Table 5. Compounds with a mortality rate of 50% or higher were further screened. The results are shown in Table 6: LC50 of compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-7, II-1, and permethrin against *Armoria spp.* at 24 h. 50 The values were: 657 μg / mL, 544 μg / mL, 605 μg / mL, 733 μg / mL, 614 μg / mL, and 1.176 μg / mL. The LC50 values of compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-7, II-1, and permethrin against armyworms after 48 hours were also determined. 50 The values are: 209μg / mL, 117μg / mL, 164μg / mL, 515μg / mL, 755μg / mL, 350μg / mL, 0.718μg / mL.
[0071] To evaluate the insecticidal activity of the compounds against diamondback moth, we used the rapeseed leaf infusion method to assess the insecticidal activity of the compounds at a concentration of 100 μg / mL, with permethrin as a control. The results are shown in Table 7. The LC50 values of compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, and permethrin at 24 h against diamondback moth were... 50 The values were: 47.47 μg / mL, 57.81 μg / mL, 23.38 μg / mL, and 32.495 μg / mL. Compounds I-1, I-2, and I-3 showed activity against diamondback moth comparable to permethrin.
[0072] Systematic activity evaluation revealed that the compound (benzimidazole substituted at positions 2 / 5 / 6) exhibited cross-species insecticidal activity, showing significant toxicity against Aedes aegypti, cereal aphid, oriental armyworm, and diamondback moth. Compound I-2 showed particularly strong LC50 against pyrethroid-resistant and susceptible Aedes aegypti strains. 50 The values were 0.558 μg / mL and 4.651 μg / mL (resistance ratio 0.20), respectively, showing significant negative cross-resistance; LC50 against wingless adult *Aphidius gracilis*... 50 The value was 115.00 μg / mL; in addition, I-1, I-2, and I-3 also showed good insecticidal activity against armyworms and diamondback moths, and had certain stomach poison activity against armyworms, with a 48h LC50 value of 115.00 μg / mL. 50 The values ranged from 117 to 209 μg / mL; the LC50 values of compounds I-1, I-2, and I-3 against diamondback moth were... 50 The values were 47.47 μg / mL, 57.81 μg / mL, and 23.38 μg / mL, respectively, and were related to permethrin (LC50). 50 The value is equivalent to 32.495 μg / mL.
[0073] In summary, target compounds I-1, I-2, and I-3 exhibit insecticidal activity against the Oriental armyworm, diamondback moth, and Aedes aegypti. Of particular note is their negative cross-resistance against pyrethroid-resistant strains. This demonstrates the potential application value of these compounds in controlling resistant lepidopteran pests and mosquitoes, and also reveals their mechanism of action, which may differ from existing agents.
