Natural-product-based pesticides: Semisynthesis, structural elucidation, and evaluation of new cholesterol–matrine conjugates as pesticidal agents
Graphical abstract
To develop new natural bioactive-product-based potential pesticides, a series of new conjugates (I(a−e)−IV(a−e)) were prepared from two lead compounds cholesterol and matrine. Compounds IIIe, IVd and IVe can be used as the leads for further structural optimization as the insecticidal and aphicidal agents.
