This invention discloses a TOR inhibitor and its application in inhibiting mosquito
cell proliferation, relating to the field of pesticides. The TOR inhibitor is at least one of RAP, AZD-8055, and JR-AB2-011. Using three complementary TOR inhibitors—RAP, AZD-8055, and JR-AB2-011—at the embryonic
cell level of
Aedes aegypti Aag2 mosquitoes, the TOR signaling pathway was confirmed to be a key target regulating
cell proliferation. This target is novel, with a clear mechanism, and is completely different from traditional insecticide pathways. The three inhibitors showed significant and
dose-dependent inhibitory effects
in vitro, possessing the potential to reduce the risk of
drug resistance. At the same time, they have minimal
impact on non-target organisms and are highly
environmentally friendly. This provides experimental and theoretical support for the development of novel, highly effective, and low-risk mosquito repellent agents, and has important potential application value for the control of
Aedes aegypti and the blocking of vector-borne infectious diseases.
