Abstract
A series of arecoline derivatives with amino acid moieties were designed and synthesised using an acylamide condensation strategy, taking arecoline as the foundational structure. The insecticidal efficacy of these compounds against Aphis craccivora and Tetranychus cinnabarinus was evaluated. Notably, derivatives 3h and 3i demonstrated superior insecticidal activity compared with arecoline. Additionally, 3h and 3i showed good fungicidal effectiveness against two types of plant fungi. Moreover, molecular docking analyses suggested that 3h and 3i could affect the nervous systems of A. craccivora and T. cinnabarinus by binding to neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These findings suggest that compounds 3h and 3i represent promising leads for further development in insecticide and fungicide research.

Abstract
The world's hunger is continuously rising due to conflicts, climate change, pandemics (such as the recent COVID-19), and crop pests and diseases. It is widely accepted that zero hunger is impossible without using agrochemicals to control crop pests and diseases. Diamide insecticides are one of the widely used green insecticides developed in recent years and play important roles in controlling lepidopteran pests. Currently, eight diamine insecticides have been commercialized, which target the insect ryanodine receptors. This review summarizes the development and optimization processes of diamide derivatives acting as ryanodine receptor activators. The review also discusses pest resistance to diamide derivatives and possible solutions to overcome the limitations posed by the resistance. Thus, with reference to structural biology, this study provides an impetus for designing and developing diamide insecticides with improved insecticidal activities.
