Low reduction of invasive ant colony productivity with an insect growth regulator

Abstract: BACKGROUND Insect growth regulators (IGRs) generally are considered to have safer eco‐toxicological profiles than the more commonly used neurotoxins and metabolic inhibitors, and are extremely effective against several insect groups, including some invasive ant species. However, use of an IGR product in a large‐scale eradication program for a widespread invasive ant (Anoploepis gracilipes; yellow crazy ant) was ineffective. We tested the IGR in question (active ingredient: (S)‐methoprene) on A. gracilipes colo… Show more

“…The melting points of all of the target compounds were measured by using an X-5 binocular microscope (Fukai Instrument Co., Beijing, China) without calibration. 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AM-500 spectrometer (Bruker, Bremen, Germany) using DMSO-d 6 as the solvent and tetramethylsilane (TMS) as the internal standard. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data of all target compounds were derived from a QFT-ESI (Varian, Palo Alto, California) instrument.…”

“…18,27−29 During the past few years, our group had been devoted to the discovery of new IGRs and found a couple of dual-target or multitarget lead compounds for IGRs. For instance, a multichitinase inhibitor benzo[d] [1,3]dioxole-6benzamide derivative d29 could act simultaneously on Of ChtI, Of ChtII, and Of Chi-h and also exhibit promising insecticidal activity. 12,30−32 Hexacyclic pyrazolamide derivative 6j was identified as a potential dual-target lead for IGRs capable of targeting both EcR and Of ChtI, providing potential insecticidal activities against P. xylostella and S. frugiperda.…”

“…3). S-methoprene is an insect juvenile hormone analogue (also referred to as an insect growth regulator) and acts by disrupting larval molts and queen egg-laying (Yeeles et al 2021). S-methoprene effects on reptiles are not well-studied, but risks are considered to be low (Rexrode et al 2008).…”

“…Insect growth regulators (IGRs) are regarded as a class of ideal pesticides widely used for the control of pest insects, such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, and various Lepidoptera [1][2][3][4]. Compared with conventional insecticides, IGRs offer numerous advantages, such as relative nontoxicity to mammals, decreased incidence of resistance, higher selectivity, and safer eco-toxicological profiles [5][6][7].…”
