Description

匍匐 Pest control formulation

The present invention relates to a moth pest control formulation containing a moth pest gathering and attracting substance.

Cockroaches are typical insect pests, and they invade various places in the industry as well as ordinary households and cause great damage. Therefore, many extermination methods are used, but because the place of inhabitant is in close contact with human life, the use of insecticide is restricted, and it has the habit of hiding in narrow gaps and has a strong fertility. In the present situation, no effective extermination method has been obtained with the traps, liquid agents and solid agents.

In recent years, research on cockroach pheromones has progressed, and their use for controlling them has been studied (

1, 2 and 3). Pheromones are chemical substances that are secreted by living organisms and act on other individuals of the same species, and are known to exhibit a very small amount of activity such as strong attraction.

As sex pheromones, sex pheromones, aggregation pheromones, etc. are known. A sex pheromone is a pheromone that is secreted and released by one sex individual and acts only on the opposite sex. On the other hand, the gathering pheromone refers to an information chemical substance that gathers other individuals of the same species, excluding the sex pheromone. That is, the aggregate pheromone acts without distinction between males and females, and can also act on larvae with no reproductive ability.

By the way, the term “aggregate pheromone” was first used in German cockroaches. German cockroaches secrete pheromones from the abdominal ends to mark shelters. Pheromones are also present on the body surface and are used to recognize homologous individuals. Aggregate pheromones of German cockroaches include constrained pheromones (arrestants) that act catalytically in addition to attracting pheromones such as 1-dimethylamino-2-methyl-2-propanol that act as odors. Some of the components have been identified (Non-Patent Document 1). Braberus cockroaches (Blaberus craniifer) secrete aggregate pheromones from the major ridgeline of the head. Attracting activity has been confirmed for undecane, tetradecane, and ethylcaproic acid from odor components collected by activated carbon.

It is expected that the cockroach control effect can be enhanced by using the above cockroach pheromones as attractants in traps, liquids and solid agents. However, attractants known so far, such as periplanones, bornyl acetates, terpenoids, etc., are not sufficient in practical use because they have poor durability and sometimes can be converted to contradictory repellent factors. It was not. In addition, since sex pheromones are effective only for one sex of adults, the identification of moth pests that are effective for all individuals and the expectation for their use, regardless of larvae / adults and females / male Was growing.

In the meantime, ant species, which are also typical insect pests, have been increasing invading damage from outside to houses in recent years. The method of extermination is to apply a solution such as an aerosol containing an insecticidal component or a powder such as a poison bait directly to the nest or to the path of the ant, to contact or eat the ant, and to bring it back to the nest. The main method is to kill the entire nest (Patent Documents 4 and 5). However, liquids and powders should be applied directly to ants, otherwise they must be applied for a period of time near ant nests or on ant paths, but the nests and paths are unknown. In some cases, or when the spraying conditions change due to the influence of the weather or human life, the expected effect cannot be obtained.

In addition, when ants go out of the nest and look for food, they release a substance that becomes a “signpost” to return to the nest, and this substance is also considered a kind of pheromone (a trail pheromone). ing. In the past, attempts have been made to attract ants to insecticides using a faraway pheromone called faranal, which has not been put into practical use. (Non-Patent Document 1)

<Example 24> Manufacture of an insect attractant attracting insect pest (a insect attracting pheromone) using cockroach feces feces By the following steps (1) to (10), an attracting insect attractant attracting substance of the present invention was obtained from cockroach faeces .

Process (1)
Feces were collected from the box where the American cockroach larvae or adults were raised, and stored frozen at -20 ° C. as a material of the attractant. 1 kg of the sample was packed in a 5 L glass column and extracted sequentially with 10 L of solvent. First, the sample was washed with 100% n-hexane under reduced pressure, and then extracted with a methanol / dichloromethane (1/99 (v / v)) mixed solution under a natural flow. Finally, the rest was extracted with 100% methanol. When the activity of attracting young cockroach larvae in each fraction was confirmed by a biological test using a linear track olfactometer, the activity was concentrated in the methanol / dichloromethane (1/99 (v / v)) mixed solution fraction. . Hereinafter, this is referred to as a crude extract.

Step (2)
The crude extract was dried and redissolved in 100% dichloromethane, and then liquid-liquid distribution was performed in the usual manner using 1N aqueous sodium carbonate solution having the same volume as the 100% dichloromethane, and the dichloromethane fraction and the acidic fraction were separated. Obtained. When the biological test was performed, the activity was concentrated in the dichloromethane fraction.

Process (3)
The dichloromethane fraction was subjected to step elution using a silica gel open column (Wakogel C-200, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). After suspending the sample by adding calcined diatomaceous earth (Celite 545, Nacalai Tesque Co., Ltd.) in the same amount as silica gel three times the solute weight, the sample was dried using a rotary evaporator until powdered. This was placed on silica gel 10 times the weight of the solute packed in the column, and fractionated by sequentially elution using the following three solvents using about 200 times the weight of the solute under reduced pressure. Dichloromethane / n-hexane (10/90 (v / v)) mixed solution, ethyl acetate / n-hexane (5/95 (v / v)) mixed solution obtained after fractionation operation, and elution with 100% ethyl acetate When the fractions were biologically tested, the activity was concentrated in the ethyl acetate / n-hexane (5/95 (v / v)) mixed solution fraction.

The ethyl acetate / n-hexane (5/95 (v / v)) mixed solution fraction was purified again with a silica gel open column. The carrier amount is 30 times the solute weight and the solvent amount is 600 times, and a mixed solution of dichloromethane / n-hexane (20/80 (v / v)), ethyl acetate / n-hexane (1/99 (v / v) v)) When step elution was performed with the mixed solution and 100% ethyl acetate, activity was found only in the ethyl acetate / n-hexane (1/99 (v / v)) mixed solution fraction.

Step (4)
The solvent was removed from the mixed solution fraction of ethyl acetate / n-hexane (1/99 (v / v)), and the resulting solid was added to 60 times the solid weight of acetone (60 mL of acetone for 1 g of solid). And activated carbon having a weight three times that of the solid was added. After allowing to stand overnight, the activated carbon was filtered off while washing with 120 times the solid weight of acetone to obtain an acetone solution fraction. The filtered activated carbon was immersed in 60 times the solid weight of toluene and allowed to stand overnight. Thereafter, the activated carbon was filtered off while washing with 120 times the volume of solids of toluene to obtain a toluene solution fraction. As a result of the biological test, the activity was concentrated in the acetone solution fraction.

Process (5)
The acetone solution fraction was purified with an open column of porous polymer beads (CHP20P, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation). After drying the sample, the sample was redissolved in 100% methanol and placed on the column while being suspended with 3 times the amount of polymer beads. Step elution with methanol / water (0/100 (v / v)), methanol / water (85/15 (v / v)), methanol / water (95/5 (v / v)) and 100% methanol. The eluate was concentrated and then dissolved in dichloromethane. As a result of the biological test, the activity was concentrated in the methanol / water (95/5 (v / v)) mixed solution fraction.

Step (6)
For a methanol / water (95/5 (v / v)) mixed solution fraction containing an active aggregation attractant, silica gel having a weight 60 times the weight of the solid (solute) obtained by removing the solvent was used. Step elution was performed with a silica gel open column (Wakogel C-200, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). The solute was re-dissolved using 10 mL of 10% ethyl acetate / n-hexane and added to the column. As an elution solvent, ethyl acetate / n-hexane (5/95 (v / v)) was used, and then ethyl acetate was used. The elution solvent used was 600 times the volume of the solute. As a result of the biological test, the activity was concentrated in the ethyl acetate / n-hexane (5/95 (v / v)) mixed solution fraction.

Step (7)
The ethyl acetate / n-hexane (5/95 (v / v)) mixed solution fraction obtained in the step (6) was further purified by HPLC (LC-10AT, Shimadzu Corporation). First, purification was performed in a normal phase using a silica gel column (COSMOSIL 5SL-II, Nacalai Tesque, Inc., φ4.6 × 150 mm). Ethyl acetate / n-hexane (5/95 (v / v)) was used as a mobile phase solvent (1 mL / min), and absorption at 254 nm was monitored with a UV detector (SPD-10MAVP, Shimadzu Corporation). The physiological activity of each fraction collected every 0.5 minutes was examined, and four active fractions were obtained (active fractions I to IV).

Step (8)
Each of the four active fractions (active fractions I to IV) obtained in the step (7) was reversed in phase using an ODS column (COSMOSIL 5AR-II, Nacalai Tesque, φ4.6 × 150 mm). Purification was carried out. The mobile phase was 100% methanol and slowly developed at 0.2 mL / min. Fractionation was conducted in the same manner, biological tests were performed, and a fraction having high activity was subjected to the next step.

Step (9)
Further purification was carried out using a COSMOSIL πNAP column (φ4.6 × 150 mm, Nacalai Tesque, Inc.). πNAP is a stationary phase obtained by chemically modifying a silica gel carrier with a naphthyl group. Isopropanol / methanol (50/50 (v / v)) was used as the mobile phase (0.2 mL / min). Fractionation was carried out with reference to the UV absorption peak, the obtained fraction was subjected to a biological test, and the fraction having high activity was subjected to the next step.

Step (10)
Each fraction obtained in the above step (9) was purified again by normal phase HPLC using a silica gel column with ethyl acetate / n-hexane (0.5 / 99.5 (v / v)), and a UV absorption peak was observed. The fractions that were seen (active fractions I-IV) were collected and subjected to a biological test. The solvent of the fraction with high activity was removed to obtain a moth pest attractant.

The insect attractant attracting substance obtained in the step (10) was analyzed by NMR, and a total of 6 attracting attractants were identified.
