BACKGROUND Paeonol is the main active ingredient in root bark of Paeonia suffruticosa , with broad-spectrum bioactivity. Additionally, isoxazoline/isoxazole is becoming the core skeleton for creating efficient and green pesticides today owing to its unique structural advantages and bioactivity potential. RESULTS In order to discover biorational natural product-based pesticides, 26 novel paeonol ether derivatives ( 3a–q and 5a , c , d , f–j , m ) were synthesized by ingeniously introducing an isoxazoline/isoxazole ring, and their structures were well-characterized by proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The stereochemical configurations of five target compounds 3a , 3g , 3j , 5a and 5h were unambiguously subjected to single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Furthermore, we screened the bioactivities of these compounds as anti-oomycete, antifungal and nematicidal agents. Amongst evaluated derivatives, (1) compounds 2 and 4 displayed promising anti-oomycete against the plant pathogen Phytophthora capsici , with median effective concentration (EC 50 )values of 28.51 and 42.52 mg L –1 , respectively. (2) Compounds 2 and 4 also exhibited excellent antifungal activity against the plant pathogen Fusarium graminearum , with EC 50 values of 29.11 and 31.23 mg L –1 , respectively. (3) Nine compounds ( 3f–h , j , o–q and 5f , g ) showed significant nematicidal activity against Heterodera glycines , with LC 50 values all <30.00 mg L –1 . Especially for compound 3g , its LC 50 value is the smallest, at 21.78 mg L –1 . CONCLUSION The research results indicate that, on the one hand, introducing an allyl or propargyl group at the hydroxyl position of paeonol can effectively enhance its anti-oomycete and antifungal activities. On the other hand, further introduction of an isoxazoline/isoxazole ring into the structural skeleton of paeonol can significantly enhance its nematicidal activity. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.

BACKGROUND Insecticide resistance continuously poses a threat to agricultural production. Chemosensory protein-mediated resistance is a new mechanism of insecticide resistance discovered in recent years. In-depth research on resistance mediated by chemosensory proteins (CSPs) provides new insight into aid insecticide resistance management. RESULTS Chemosensory protein 1 in Plutella xylostella ( PxCSP1 ) was overexpressed in the two indoxacarb-resistant field populations and PxCSP1 has a high affinity with indoxacarb. PxCSP1 was upregulated when exposed to indoxacarb and the knockdown of this gene elevated sensitivity to indoxacarb, which demonstrate that PxCSP1 is involved in the indoxacarb resistance. Considering that CSPs may confer resistance in insects via binding or sequestering, we explored the binding mechanism of indoxacarb in PxCSP1 -mediated resistance. Using molecular dynamics simulations and site-directed mutation, we found that indoxacarb forms a solid complex with PxCSP1 mainly through van der Waals interactions and electrostatic interactions. Between these, the electrostatic interaction provided by the Lys100 side chain in PxCSP1 , and especially the hydrogen bonding between the NZ atom and the O of the carbamoyl carbonyl group of indoxacarb, are the key factors for the high affinity of PxCSP1 to indoxacarb. CONCLUSIONS The overexpression of PxCPS1 and its high affinity to indoxacarb is partially responsible for indoxacarb resistance in P. xylostella . Modification of indoxacarb's carbamoyl group has the potential to alleviate indoxacarb resistance in P. xylostella . These findings will contribute to solving chemosensory protein-mediated indoxacarb resistance and provide a better understanding of the insecticide resistance mechanism. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

The aim of this study was to investigate the splenic tissue damage of environmental biological drug avermectin to freshwater cultured carp and to evaluate the effect of silybin on the splenic tissue damage of carp induced by avermectin. A total of 60 carp were divided into 4 groups with 15 carp in each group, including the control group fed with basic diet, experimental group fed with basal diet and exposed to avermectin (avermectin group), experimental group fed with basal diet supplement silybin (silybin group), and experimental group fed with basal diet supplement silybin and exposed to avermectin (silybin + avermectin group). The whole test period lasted for 30 days, and spleen tissue was collected for analysis. In this study, H&E staining, mitochondrial purification and membrane potential detection, ATP detection, DHE staining, biochemical tests, qPCR, immunohistochemistry, and apoptosis staining were used to evaluate the biological processes of spleen tissue injury, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. The results show that silybin protected carp splenic tissue damage caused by chronic avermectin exposure, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, decreased ATP content, ROS accumulation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Silybin may ameliorate the splenic tissue damage of cultured freshwater carp caused by environmental biopesticide avermectin by alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibiting PERK-ATF4-CHOP-driven mitochondrial apoptosis. Adding silybin into the diet becomes a feasible strategy to resist the pollution of avermectin and provides a theoretical basis for creating a good living environment for freshwater carp.

The increasing concern over environmental pollution caused by the pesticide avermectin used in aquaculture has attracted significant attention. The use of avermectin, a neurotoxic pesticide, in aquatic environments leads to toxic effects on non-target organisms, particularly causing harm to fish. The phenolic compound ferulic acid possesses excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities. This study was conducted by establishing a chronic exposure experiment to avermectin, proposes the use of ferulic acid as a dietary additive to protect the carp brain from damage caused by exposure to avermectin. Furthermore, it investigates the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of ferulic acid in the carp brain under chronic exposure to avermectin. The experimental results demonstrate that ferulic acid can alleviate brain tissue inflammation and oxidative stress by modulating the Nrf2/Keap1 and NF-κB signaling pathways . It protects the carp brain from chronic avermectin-induced damage, preserves the integrity of the carp blood-brain barrier, enhances the levels of feeding factors, and thereby alleviates carp growth inhibition. These findings provide new therapeutic strategies and a theoretical foundation for the sustainable development of carp aquaculture.

Avermectin is one of the most widely used pesticides, but its toxicity to non-target organisms, especially aquatic organisms , has been ignored. Therefore, an acute spleen injury model of avermectin in carp was established to assess the non-target toxicity of avermectin to carp. In this study, 3.005 μg/L and 12.02 μg/L were set as the low and high dose groups of avermectin, respectively, and a four days acute exposure experiment was conducted. Pathological structure observation showed that avermectin damaged spleen tissue structure and produced inflammatory cell infiltration . Biochemical analysis showed that avermectin significantly reduced the activities of antioxidant enzymes CAT, SOD, and GSH-px, but increased the content of MDA, a marker of oxidative damage. Avermectin exposure also significantly increased the transcription levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and INOS, and also significantly enhanced the activity of the inflammatory mediator iNOS, but suppressed the transcription levels of anti-inflammatory factors TGF-β1 and IL-10. In addition, TUNEL detected that the apoptosis rate increased significantly with the increase of avermectin dosage, and the transcription levels of apoptosis-related genes BAX, P53, and Caspase 3/9 also increased in a dose-dependent manner. This study is preliminary evidence that avermectin induces spleen injury in carp through oxidative stress , inflammation, and apoptosis, which has important implications for subsequent studies on the effects of avermectin on non-target organisms.

Background Paeonol is extracted and isolated as a rich and sustainable natural bioresource from the root bark of Paeonia suffruticosa , the derivatives of which exhibit numerous biological activities. It is well known that ester compounds play a very important role in pest control, such as organophosphorus, carbamate and pyrethroid pesticides. Results To discover biorational natural product-based pesticides, three series of (60) paeonol ester derivatives ( 7a–t , 8g , p , 9g , p , 10g–j , n–u , 11g , u , 12g , u , 13a–p , 14b , c , and 15b , c ) were prepared by structural modification of paeonol, and their structures were well characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance ( 13 C-NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and melting point. Furthermore, we assessed the compounds as insecticidal, nematicidal, and anti-oomycete agents against three serious agricultural pests, Mythimna separata , Heterodera glycines , and Phytophthora capsici . Among all tested compounds: (i) compound 8p showed more significant insecticidal activity than toosendanin, and the final mortality rates of 8p and toosendanin against M. separata (1 mg mL −1 ) were 70.4%, and 51.9%, respectively; (ii) compound 7a exhibited more promising nematicidal activity than paeonol, and the median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) values of 7a and 1 against H. glycines were 15.47 and 50.80 mg L −1 , respectively; (iii) compounds 7n and 13m displayed more significant anti-oomycete activity compared to zoxamide against Phytophthora capsici , and the median effective concentration (EC 50 ) values of 7n , 13m , and zoxamide were 23.72, 24.51, and 26.87 mg L −1 , respectively; and the protective effect of the compounds against Phytophthora capsici in vivo further confirmed the effectiveness of the agents. Conclusion This study suggested that the introduction of a nitro at the C5 or C3 position of paeonol could improve its bioactivity against M. separata , H. glycines , and Phytophthora capsici . © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Avermectin pollution is an important problem that cannot be ignored in aquatic system in recent years. It has brought great trouble to freshwater aquaculture, especially fishery aquaculture. Plant-derived quercetin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and is widely used as a dietary additive, but its protective effect on immune damage induced by avermectin in freshwater carp remains unclear. This study evaluated the role of dietary additive quercetin supplementation in chronic avermectin exposure of carp spleen. Sixty carp were divided into 4 groups ( n = 15/ group), including control group, avermectin treatment group, quercetin treatment group, quercetin and avermectin co-treatment group. Carp were exposed to a 1/10 96 h LC 50 dose of avermectin for 30 d and fed a carp diet containing 400 mg/kg quercetin twice a day (3% body weigh/ carp). The results showed that chronic avermectin exposure caused the loose parenchymal structure of carp spleen tissue and the increase of inflammatory cells, accompanied by increased transcription levels of pro-inflammatory il-1β , il-6 , tnf-α and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory factors il-10 and tgf-β1 , ROS accumulation in spleen tissue. MDA content increased and T-AOC, CAT and GSH levels decreased. Quercetin down-regulates the NF-κB pathway by inhibiting the expression of iNOS and activating p38 MAPK, blocking the transcription of inflammatory factors, and alleviating the inflammation of carp spleen caused by chronic avermectin exposure. In addition, quercetin inhibits the over-activation of Nrf2/Keap-1 signaling axis, blocks ROS accumulation, and restores the spleen REDOX homeostasis. In conclusion, quercetin, as a dietary additive for carp feed, can effectively improve the immune damage caused by avermectin pollution in aquatic environment, resist spleen inflammation and oxidative stress, and provide a theoretical basis for clinical development of freshwater carp feed.

Avermectins, as a new type of environmental pollutant, have received significant attention in recent years. Previous research has shown that acute exposure to avermectins can induce oxidative stress and inflammation in non-target fish species, such as carp. Flavonoid lignans, particularly Silybin, have demonstrated promising biological activities, including regulation of non-alcoholic fatty liver and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study aims to investigate the impact of dietary supplementation with Silybin on the intestinal damage in carp caused by chronic exposure to avermectins and to improve the health status and production of carp in aquaculture. Silybin was used as a dietary supplement by adding it to the experimental feed, and an animal experimental model was utilized to assess its effects on oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell apoptosis in carp intestine. Additionally, intestinal barrier integrity, digestive capacity, and fish growth were evaluated. The results indicated that dietary supplementation with Silybin effectively alleviated the oxidative stress induced by chronic exposure to avermectins in carp intestine. Furthermore, Silybin improved intestinal barrier integrity and digestive capacity by modulating the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway. This study demonstrates that dietary supplementation with Silybin can effectively mitigate the intestinal damage caused by chronic exposure to avermectins in carp, providing a sustainable solution for the aquaculture industry to enhance the overall health and production of cultured fish. The research expands our understanding of avermectin environmental pollution and offers a potential remediation approach.

To avoid false negative results due to the low cross-reactivity rate (CR) in rapid immunoassay, a group-specific antibody with homogeneous CR toward target compounds is needed for accuracy. In this study, tylosin (TYL) and tilmicosin (TM) were selected as model molecules. Firstly, two-dimensional similarity, electrostatic potential energy, spatial conformation and charge distribution of the haptens TYL-CMO, TYL-6-ACA, TYL-4-APA, TYL-CHO and DES-CMO and target compounds of TYL and TM were obtained using Gaussian 09W and Discovery Studio. The optimal hapten was DES-CMO because it is the most similar to TYL and TM. Subsequently, the mAb 14D5 cell line was obtained with IC 50 values of 1.59 and 1.72 ng/mL for TYL and TM, respectively, and a CR of 92.44%. Finally, amorphous carbon nanoparticles (ACNPs) were conjugated with mAb 14D5 to develop an accurate lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) for detection of TYL and TM by the reflectance value under natural light. The recoveries of TYL and TM ranged from 77.18 to 112.04% with coefficient of variation < 13.43%. The cut-off value in milk samples was 8 ng/mL, and the limits of detection were 11.44, 15.96, 22.29 and 25.53 μg/kg for chicken muscle, bovine muscle, porcine muscle and porcine liver samples, respectively, and the results being consistent with HPLC–UV. The results suggest that the developed LFA is accurate and potentially useful for on-site screening of TYL and TM in milk and animal tissue samples. Graphical abstract

Avermectin is widely used as an important insecticide in agricultural production, but it also shows strong toxicity to non-target organisms. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid that is widely used due to its good anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. We believe that quercetin may have a potential therapeutic effect on avermectin poisoning. This experiment was proposed to observe the effect of quercetin on the toxic response to avermectin by observing the toxic response caused by avermectin in the brain of carp. In this project, 60 carp were studied as control group (Control), quercetin administration group (QUE), avermectin exposure group (AVM) and quercetin treatment avermectin exposure group (QUE + AVM) with different interventions to study the effect of quercetin on avermectin. The carp brain tissues were stained and simultaneously analyzed for blood–brain barrier (BBB), oxidative stress indicators, inflammatory factors, and apoptosis using qPCR technique. The results of the study indicate that avermectin exhibits a neurotoxic mechanism of action in fish by decreasing the transcript levels of tight junction protein-related genes, which in turn leads to the rupture of the BBB in the carp brain tissue. Avermectin induced apoptosis in carp brain tissue by increasing oxidative stress response and promoting inflammatory cell infiltration. Quercetin could reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the brain tissue of carp caused by avermectin exposure toxicity, maintain redox homeostasis, reduce inflammatory response, and protect brain tissue cells from apoptosis. The present study confirmed the therapeutic and protective effects of quercetin on neurotoxicity in carp caused by avermectin exposure.

A specific polyclonal antibody was prepared based on a new hapten with stable structure. Based on this, an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) was established for determination of tylosin residues in food and environmental samples. The experimental conditions were optimized as follows: the coating antigen and antibody were respectively diluted by 6000 times and 2000 times, and the competitive reaction time was 40 min. Under the optimized conditions, the method showed a detection limit of 0.07 ng mL −1 , an IC 50 of 1.39 ng mL −1 and a linear range of 0.17–11.0 ng mL −1 . The recoveries of spiked raw milk and water samples were ranged from 78.4% to 105.6%, with the RSDs of less than 15%. Good correlation between icELISA and HPLC method was obtained for spiked samples ( R 2 = 0.97). This method was suitable for the determination of tylosin residues in milk and water samples.

BACKGROUND The natural product paeonol is a rich and sustainable natural bioresource, and its derivatives have various unique biological efficacy. As is well known, Schiff bases are a class of organic compounds with a wide range of biological activities, including anti-fungal, insecticidal, anti-viral, and nematicidal. RESULTS To discover biorational natural product-based pesticides, nine intermediates (2–10), 12 sulfonylhydrazones (11a–11c, 12a–12c, 13a–13c, and 14a–14c) and 20 benzylidene hydrazones (18a–18r, 19a, and 20a) were synthesized by structural modification of paeonol, and their structures were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR), carbon-13 ( 13 C) NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The stereochemical configurations of compounds 14a, 18d, and 18r were unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, bioactivities of these compounds as anti-oomycete, anti-fungal, and nematicidal agents against three serious agricultural pests, Phytophthora capsici , Fusarium graminearum , and Heterodera glycines were evaluated. Among all tested compounds: (i) compound 7 exhibited promising anti-oomycete against Phytophthora capsici , with a half maximal effective concentration (EC 50 ) value of 15.81 mg L −1 ; (ii) compounds 2, 7, 10, and 19a displayed promising anti-fungal against F. graminearum , with EC 50 values of 12.22, 14.72, 23.39, and 33.10 mg L −1 , respectively; (iii) ten compounds (12a–12c, 14c, 18g–18j, 18m, and 19a) showed significant nematicidal activity against H. glycines , with median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) values all less than 30.00 mg L −1 . Especially for compound 18g, its LC 50 value is the smallest, at 12.65 mg L −1 . CONCLUSION The research results indicate that introducing nitro groups at the C5 position of paeonol, or introducing halogens at both C5 and C3 positions, can significantly enhance its biological activity against Phytophthora capsici , F. graminearum , and H. glycines . © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
