Two New 5-Oxomilbemycins Possessing an Unusual 3,27-Epoxy Bond from the Genetically Engineered Strain Streptomyces bingchenggensis BCJ60

Natural nematicidal metabolites and advances in their biocontrol capacity on plant parasitic nematodes

Covering: 2010 to 2021Natural nematicidal metabolites are important sources of nematode control. This review covers the isolation and structural determination of nematicidal metabolites from 2010 to 2021. We summarise chemical structures, bioactivity, metabolic regulation and biosynthesis of potential nematocides, and structure-activity relationship and application potentiality of natural metabolites in plant parasitic nematodes' biocontrol. In doing so, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the potential roles that natural metabolites can play in anti-nematode strategies.

A novel spiro-heterocycle milbemycin metabolite from a genetically engineered strain of Streptomyces bingchenggensis

Milbemycin R, a novel spiro-heterocycle milbemycin, was obtained from the metabolites produced by the mutant strain S. bingchenggensis BCJ60B11. Its structure was determined by spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses including 1 D, 2 D NMR, IR, HR-ESI-MS data. The acaricidal and nematicidal activities of milbemycin R against Tetranychus cinnabarinus and Bursaphelenchus xylophilus were tested. Milbemycin R possessed better acaricidal activity than milbemycins A3/A4.
