An amphiphilic xylan polymer, preparation method therefor and application thereof in pesticide
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of pesticide preparations, in particular relates to an amphiphilic xylan polymer, preparation method therefor and application thereof in pesticide.
Background
Pesticides are the most effective means to prevent and control pests. However, for a long time, limited by pesticide formulations, environment, methods of use and other application conditions, the effective utilization rate of pesticides is low, resulting in excessive use of pesticides, excessive pesticide residues and environmental pollution. In recent years, the use of nanomaterials and advanced technology to prepare efficient and safe green pesticide formulations can improve the dispersion and stability of pesticides, promote the adhesion and deposition of pesticides to target crops, and reduce the amount of pesticides and residual pollution, so as to achieve the reduction and efficiency of pesticides. Avermectin is a new biological pesticide with broad-spectrum insecticidal, acaricidal and nematicidal activity. However, the avermectin has poor photostability and solubility, and is easy to decompose under ultraviolet light, which leads to the increase of actual dosage in the application process, thus causing harm to plants and the environment. The solubility and stability of the avermectin can be improved by using nano-micelles as the carrier of avermectin.
Nanomicelles with core-shell structure formed by self-assembly of amphiphilic block polymers are a new type of nanomaterials with excellent physicochemical properties such as quantum effect, small size effect, surface and interface effect, which can be used to load insoluble pesticide molecules and improve the stability and dispersibility of insoluble pesticides. This is because the hydrophobic region of the micelle core can load hydrophobic pesticide molecules to increase their solubility and stability, while the hydrophilic shell outside the micelle separates the internal encapsulated molecules from the external environment to prevent the interaction of encapsulated molecules and the influence of the external environment, thus improving the stability 1 of pesticide molecules. LU505016
Xylan is the most abundant natural macromolecular polymer in nature except for cellulose, which has the advantages of wide source, low cost, good biodegradability and biocompatibility, and the degraded products will not cause secondary pollution to the environment, so it is an ideal green pesticide carrier. However, commercial xylans usually exhibit different water solubility due to their different extraction sources and methods, which cannot well embed drugs or form complexes with them. At present, the modification methods of xylan mainly focus on grafting active groups onto xylan (such as Chinese patent application CN108079001A), or preparing hydrogels (such as Chinese patent application CN111961230A) to achieve the delivery of drugs or biomacromolecules. Or the xylan is modified to enhance the medicinal activity of the xylan (such as Chinese patent application CN110698594A and CN111961144A).
An amphiphilic compound is composed of a hydrophilic end and a hydrophobic end, and the amphiphilic compound can self-assemble into a micelle in water, the cavity of the hydrophobic end can interact with various hydrophobic drugs and is stabilized in an aqueous solution, and the hydrophilic end can protect the drugs from being influenced by an external environment. There is no report on the synthesis of amphiphilic compounds by modifying xylan and its application in pesticides. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to develop a xylan carrier with easily available lipophilic end, simple preparation process and low preparation cost, which can be applied to pesticides.

The mass fractions of the avermectin, the cyclohexanone, the X-LA, the emulsifier T-028 and the emulsifier Z-029 in the emulsion in water are 4.4%, 25%, 2%, 5% and 6% respectively. 1.2.3 Determination of storage stability of the emulsion in water containing avermectin
According to national standards GB/T 19136 2021 and GB/T 19137 2003, the samples of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin are stored at (54 + 2) °C for 14 days and (0 + 2) °C for 7 days, respectively. The thermal storage stability and low temperature stability of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin and the commercial emulsion in water are tested, and the emulsion in water standing still for 14 days at room temperature is used as control. The changes in the content of active ingredient of avermectin in EW is determined according to the method of
GB 2763-2021, and the degradation rate of the avermectin under various storage conditions is calculated with an emulsion in water containing 5% avermectin ( LUOJIN ®) sold in the market as the control:
Degradation rate = (content before treatment-content after treatment) / content before treatment* 100 1.3 Performance Characterization of Avermectin EW 1.3.1 Morphological observation
The emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin and the commercial EW are diluted to a certain concentration (1:500, v/v), and a small amount of the diluted solution is dropped on a 200- mesh copper mesh. After natural air drying for 2 minutes, the solution is negatively stained with a 7 newly prepared 2% (w/v) phosphotungstic acid for 2 minutes. After drying at room temperature, 505016 the morphology is observed by JET-2100 transmission electron microscope (TEM). 1.3.2 Particle size and its distribution
The emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin and the commercial EW are diluted 1000 times respectively, and a small amount of the diluted solution is filtered through a 0.45 m filter membrane, and the particle size and its distribution of the emulsion are measured by the Nano-ZS & MPT-2 dynamic light scattering instrument at a scattering angle of 90 °. Measurements are repeated for three times, and the average value is taken. 1.3.4 Zeta potential determination
The zeta potentials of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin and the commercial
EW are measured respectively by Nano-ZS & MPT-2 dynamic light scattering instrument.
Measurements are repeated for three times, and the average value is taken. 1.3.5 Determination of surface tension
After diluting the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin and the commercial EW for 1000 times respectively, the surface tension is measured by ZJ-7000 optical contact angle meter with pendant drop method, and the average value is obtained after 10 times of repetition with ultrapure water as the control. 1.3.6 Determination of liquid retention on cabbage leaves
To measure the liquid retention rate of the solution on the cabbage leaves, fresh cabbage leaves with a diameter of 6.6 cm and a uniform size (cabbage at the six-leaf stage) are cut with a puncher, soaked in the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin (with 1:1000 dilution) and the commercial EW (with 1:1000 dilution) for 1 minute, then lifted vertically, and weighed when the blade stops dripping the solution. Ultrapure water is used as the control. Measurements are repeated for three times, and the average value is taken.
The formula for liquid retention is as follows:
Liquid retention = (my — m9)/A (1)
In the formula, mg and m, are respectively the weight of the leaf before and after soaking, and A is the surface area of the leaf. 1.4 Determination of entrapment rate and entrapment capacity of the avermectin loaded by the X-LA as drug carrier
The method of GB 2763-2021 is used to determine the entrapment rate and entrapment 8 capacity of an avermectin loaded capsules (the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin), 5950 16 using X-LA as the carrier, which is calculated according to the following formula:
Entrapment rate (%) = the mass of avermectin embedded in nanocapsules/the total mass of avermectin invested * 100
Drug loading capacity (%) = the mass of avermectin embedded in nanocapsules/the total mass of nanocapsules invested *100 2. Results and analysis 2.1 Structural characterization results of amphiphilic hemicellulose derivatives
Fig. 2 is the FTIR spectrum of the xylan and the xylan grafted lauric acid polymer (X-LA).
The FT-IR spectra of the xylan grafted with the lauric acid showed obvious changes, and the absorption peaks at 1744 cm! and 1256 cm”! are the characteristic absorption peaks of ester carbonyl (C = O) and ether bond (C-O) on the side chain of the lauric acid, respectively, which indicates that the side chain of the lauric acid is successfully grafted onto the main chain of the xylan.
Fig. 3 is a "H-NMR spectrum of the xylan and the xylan grafted lauric acid polymer (X-
LA). In the spectrum of the xylan, there are very weak signal peaks around 1.22 ppm and 0.84 ppm, because the xylan is a polysaccharide composed of many kinds of sugar groups, with a very small amount of CH2 and CH; on the side chains. After grafting of the xylan with the lauric acid, two strong signal peaks appeare at 1.23 ppm and 0.84 ppm respectively, in which 0.84 ppm is the chemical shift of methyl (CH3) on the side-chain of the lauric acid molecule. The strong signal peaks at 1.23, 1.49 and 2.26 ppm correspond to the chemical shifts of methylene (CH2) on the side chain of the lauric acid, indicating that the hydrophobic side chain of the lauric acid is successfully grafted onto the xylan chain.
The degree of substitution (DS) of the lauric acid in the xylan graft polymer can be calculated according to formula (2):
DS = —1a/3 (2) (IHı+IH4)/2
In the formula, Ia, In1, and IH represent the chemical shift integral areas of H on the methyl group (CH3) of the hydrophobic side chain and H1 and H4 on the hemicellulose structural unit, respectively. In this study, the substitution degree of the xylan grafted lauric acid polymer is about 0.318. 9
2.2 Performance characterization of EW LU505016 2.2.1 Morphological observation
The transmission electron micrographs of the X-LA, the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin and the commercial EW are shown in Figure 4. The amphiphilic xylan polymer (X-
LA) self-assembles to form spherical nano-micelles with a particle size of less than 100 nm (Figure 4A). The particles of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin prepared with the X-LA maintained the size of the X-LA micelles, and the particle morphology is clearly visible in the shape of a smooth sphere (Fig. 4B). However, the particles of the commercial EW are irregular in shape, and the distribution of the particles is disorderly, and the particle size is greater than 100 nm (Fig. 4C). 2.2.2 Storage stability
The performance characterization of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin prepared by the present invention under different storage conditions is shown in Table 1, the degradation rate of the avermectin under different storage conditions is shown in Table 2, the particle size change is shown in Figure 5, and the particle size distribution is shown in Figure 6. It can be seen from Figure 5 that the indicators of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin prepared by the X-LA after cold storage are similar to those stored at room temperature, the average particle size after thermal storage is only 122.9 nm, the PDI index is about 0.2, and there is only one particle size distribution peak under different storage conditions (Figure 6A), and the total active ingredient content remains unchanged (Table 1). The results showed that the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin prepared by the X-LA has good dispersibility. The emulsion particles are uniformly distributed, and the storage stability is good, especially the thermal storage stability. However, after cold storage and thermal storage, the commercial EW shows obvious chromatographic phenomena, in which the average particle size after thermal storage increases from 156.2 nm to 588.9 nm (Fig. 5), the PDI index is 0.61, and three particle size distribution peaks appeared after thermal storage (Fig. 6B), and the emulsion particles are obviously aggregated, indicating that the storage stability of the commercial EW is poor, especially the thermal storage stability.
In addition, by comparing with the particle sizes of the emulsion in water particles in Table 1 and Fig. 4, it can be seen that the particle size in the TEM image is smaller than the average particle size obtained by the dynamic light scattering method, which may be an error of the detection method. The hydrodynamic diameter of the solvated micelles is detected by dynamic light, 505016 scattering, while the TEM images are observed under high vacuum conditions, and the micelles show a certain degree of dehydration shrinkage during this process.
The same conclusion can be obtained by analyzing the surface zeta potential of the emulsion in water (Table 1). Under the same conditions, the zeta potential of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin is higher than that of the commercial EW. The higher surface charge value makes the particles repel each other and is not easy to aggregate due to electrostatic interaction, thereby improving the stability of the emulsion in water.

The wettability of pesticide solution is the key factor affecting the effective utilization of pesticide, and better wettability can promote the wetting, spreading and deposition of pesticide 12 solution on target crops. LU505016
Fig. 7 shows the surface tension results of the EW. The surface tension of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin prepared with the X-LA under different storage conditions is about 52 mN/m, which is lower than that of ultrapure water. However, the surface tension of the commercial EW increases after both cold storage and thermal storage. Therefore, the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin has lower surface tension and higher stability under different storage conditions compared with the commercial EW.
Fig. 8 shows the liquid retention rate of the emulsion in water on cabbage leaves. It can be seen from Fig. 8 that the liquid retention rate of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin on cabbage leaves is greater than that of ultrapure water, while that of the commercial emulsion in water is less than that of ultrapure water. This is because the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin prepared by the X-LA has a low surface tension (Fig. 7) and is easy to wet and spread on cabbage leaves. In addition, the X-LA is an amphiphilic hemicellulose polymer, which is similar to the hydrophobically modified cellulose polymer and is a non-ionic surfactant. The addition of non-ionic surfactant can reduce the interfacial tension of cabbage leaves (superhydrophobic interface), thus inhibiting solution splashing and making pesticides adhere to and deposit on cabbage leaves. 2.3 Entrapment rate and entrapment capacity of the avermectin loaded by the X-LA as drug carrier
The entrapment rate and entrapment capacity of the avermectin loaded by the X-LA as drug carrier (the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin) reached 65.72% and 4.40%, respectively (Table 3).

As a natural polymer material, xylan has the advantages of wide source, low cost, good biocompatibility, biodegradability and the like. The nano pesticide preparation taking the xylan as a carrier can reduce the pesticide dosage and realize the target release of pesticide active substances, thereby improving the utilization rate of pesticides and reducing pesticide residues. The xylan is 13 biodegradable. The degraded product has no secondary pollution and is friendly to the environment, 505016
Nanomicelles with core-shell structure formed by self-assembly of amphiphilic block polymers are excellent carriers for poorly soluble pesticides, and their small size and large specific surface area can improve the dispersion and stability of poorly soluble pesticide molecules. In addition, some amphiphilic natural polymers can be used as non-ionic surfactants, which can inhibit the splashing of pesticide solution on cabbage (super-hydrophobic interface) leaves, increase the adhesion and deposition of pesticides on target crops, improve the wettability of pesticides, and thus improve the utilization rate of pesticides.
In the present invention, the lauric acid is used for carrying out hydrophobic graft modification on the xylan to prepare the amphiphilic xylan polymer (X-LA), and the X-LA is used for developing the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin. The particle size, zeta potential, surface tension and liquid retention rate on cabbage leaves of the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin under different storage conditions are represented. It is proved that the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin prepared by the X-LA had good storage stability (thermal storage stability and low temperature stability) and wettability. The above results can provide a reference for the preparation of EW with good storage stability and wettability.
Nanomicelles are ordered aggregates with "core-shell” structure formed by self-assembly of amphiphilic block polymers, and their hydrophobic cores can be loaded with insoluble pesticides.
The use of nanomaterials and preparation technology to the development of new nanomedicines can effectively improve the utilization rate of pesticides, and reduce pesticide residues and environmental pollution. This is because of the small size and large specific surface area of nanoparticles, which can improve the dispersion, wettability and stability of insoluble pesticides, and increase the adhesion and deposition of pesticides on the target surface.
In the present invention, compared with the commercial emulsion in water, the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin nano-micelles prepared by using the hemicellulose-lauric acid polymer has better storage stability, particularly thermal storage stability. Under different storage conditions, there is only one particle size distribution peak, and the total active ingredient content remained unchanged. The average particle size of the nano-micelles of the emulsion in water is respectively 225.5 nm and 229.8 nm after room temperature storage and cold storage, while the average particle size of the nano-micelles of the emulsion in water is only 122.9 nm after thermal storage, and the surface zeta potential is -7.677 mV. This is because the entrapment of the 14 avermectin by micelles increases the stability of the avermectin in water. Then the unique small, 505016 size and large specific surface effect of nano-micelles make the smaller particles have better dispersion and stability in water, and the negative charges on the surface of the particles also promote their stability.
Compared with the commercial emulsion in water, the emulsion in water containing 4.4% avermectin nano-micelles has better wetting performance. The surface tension is maintained at about 52 mN/m under different storage conditions, which shows good hydrophilicity and stability.
In addition, the liquid retention rate of the emulsion in water containing the nano-micelles on the cabbage leaves is higher than that of water and the control group, which is due to the fact that the amphiphilic polymer itself has a surface active effect and can inhibit the splashing of the micelle solution on the cabbage leaves (super-hydrophobic interface), so that the pesticide solution is adhered and deposited on the cabbages.
Therefore, the nano-micelles formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic hemicellulose polymers can be used as an excellent carrier of the avermectin, and the application effect of the nano-micelles in avermectin nano-preparations can be improved. It is expected that this kind of preparation will play an important role in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests such as spodoptera litura and plutella xylostella.
The above embodiments are the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited by the above embodiments, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be equivalent and included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
