Synergistic Insecticide Combinations of Nicotinic Agonists and Anthranilamides
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing insecticides targeting nicotinergic acetylcholine receptors and other compounds have unsatisfactory activity at low application rates or in terms of spectrum, limiting their effectiveness in pest control.
Innovation Solution
Combining nicotinergic acetylcholine receptor agonists and antagonists with anthranilamides to create synergistically effective mixtures for broad-spectrum pest control, including specific compounds of formulas (I) and (II), which can be present as pure isomers or isomer mixtures, for enhanced insecticidal activity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If known nicotinergic acetylcholine receptor agonists and antagonists are used alone, then they provide good insecticidal activity, but their activity spectrum and effectiveness at low application rates are unsatisfactory
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines compounds of formula (I) with anthranilamides of formula (II) in specific weight ratios to create synergistic mixtures. This merging of two different insecticide classes with distinct mechanisms of action expands the activity spectrum while maintaining high effectiveness at low application rates, resolving the contradiction between reliability and adaptability.
2Reliability
If known heterocycles, organotin compounds, benzoylureas, or pyrethroids are used, then they provide insecticidal and acaricidal properties, but their activity is not always satisfactory
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates composite insecticide formulations combining compounds of formula (I) with anthranilamides of formula (II). This composite approach leverages the synergistic interaction between the two compound classes to achieve superior insecticidal activity and productivity at low application rates, overcoming the limitations of individual insecticide classes.
3Device complexity
If single compounds are used for pest control, then the formulation is simple, but the activity spectrum and effectiveness against resistant species are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges compounds of formula (I) with anthranilamides of formula (II) in specific weight ratios to create synergistic mixtures. This merging of two different insecticide classes with distinct mechanisms of action expands the activity spectrum while maintaining high effectiveness at low application rates, resolving the contradiction between reliability and adaptability.
