Overview

Uncovers novel insecticidal candidates with low toxicity to bees, indicating potential for ecologically safe insecticides.

Key Points

  • The aim is to discover novel benzofuranone compounds that effectively serve as insecticides while minimizing bee toxicity.
  • Utilized a supramolecular strategy based on calix[4]arene to enhance bioactivity of benzofuranone compounds.
  • Evaluated the toxicity of the new compounds against bees.
  • C4A and C4A@5i demonstrated low toxicity levels to bees.
  • New benzofuranone compounds show promise as insecticidal candidates with safer ecological profiles.
