Abstract excerpt
Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as imidacloprid, are selective agonists of the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with -NO(2) or -CN group in trans-configuration. Previously we reported the excellent insecticidal activity of a series of nitroconjugated neonicotinoids with -NO(2) or -CN group in cis-configuration by replacing nitromethylene pharmacophore with a nitroconjugated system. To understand...
