ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
1,3,4-Oxadiazole and imidazolidine rings are important heterocyclic compounds exhibiting a variety of biological activities. In this study, novel compounds with oxadiazole and imidazolidine rings were synthesized from 3-(methylsulfonyl)-2-oxoimidazolidine-1-carbonyl chloride and screened for insecticidal activities. The proposed structures of the 17 synthesized compounds were confirmed using elemental analysis, infrared (IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR), and mass spectroscopy.RESULTS:
None of the compounds showed larvicidal activity at the tested concentrations against first-instar Aedes aegypti larvae. However, nine compounds exhibited promising adulticidal activity, with mortality rates of ≥80% at 5 µg per mosquito. Further dose-response bioassays were undertaken to determine median lethal dose (LD50 ) values. Compounds 1, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2 g, 3b, 3c, 3 g, and 3 h were effective, with typical LD50 values of about 5 - 10 µg per mosquito against female Ae. aegypti. Compounds 2c (bearing a nitro group on the aromatic ring; LD50 = 2.80 ± 0.54 µg per mosquito) and 3 h (double halogen groups at 2,4 position on the phenyl ring; LD50 = 2.80 ± 0.54 µg per mosquito) were the most promising compounds.CONCLUSION:
Preliminary mode of action studies failed to show consistent evidence of either neurotoxic or mitochondria-directed effects. Further chemical synthesis within this series may lead to the development of new effective insecticides. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.Palabras clave
