The invention belongs to the technical field of
pesticide preparation and
insect prevention and control, and particularly relates to application of
Azilsartan as an
insect epidermis lipid synthesis inhibitor and in the aspect of pest prevention and control. The invention finds that a
small molecule compound Azisartan is an inhibitor of targeted trans-enoyl
coenzyme A reductase (TE) for the first time, and results of an in-vitro
enzyme activity inhibition test and an insecticidal test prove that the Azisartan can significantly inhibit the activity of a key
membrane protein (TE) in an epidermal lipid synthesis pathway of insects, and can be used for preparing a
drug for preventing and treating the epidermal lipid synthesis pathway of the insects, so that the
drug can be used for preparing a
drug for preventing and treating the epidermal lipid synthesis pathway of the insects, and the drug can be used for preventing and treating the epidermal lipid synthesis pathway of the insects and preventing and treating the epidermal lipid synthesis pathway of the insects. And the insecticidal composition has obvious insecticidal activity on Asiatic corn borer,
plutella xylostella, tenebrio molitor and tribolium cavaleriei. Meanwhile, the
small molecule compound
Azilsartan provides a research basis for research and development of insecticides, and is beneficial to research and development of green pesticides.
