Near-infrared ratiometric fluorescent strategy for butyrylcholinesterase activity and its application in the detection of pesticide residue in food samples and biological imaging. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 297:122719. [PMID: 37043836 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an essential esterase synthesized by the liver, and its level is considered as a vital index for health evaluation. Therefore, it is of great need to develop a highly sensitive and selective tool to monitor BChE activity, which remains a considerable challenge on account of its usage in complex biological systems. A near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe was elaborated in this work, employing cyanine backbone to provide the intrinsic NIR fluorescence and avoid interference from bioluminescence. There presented an intriguing structural transformation upon the sensing event to shrink the conjugation in this protocol, leading to an eye-catching fluorescence change from NIR (816 nm) to red (637 nm) region, which gave rise to the proposed ratiometric assay. After an overall investigation, this receptor was verified to be applicable in a wide bio-area with ratiometric pattern, including the cellular level and slice platform. It was worth mentioning that this receptor was also discovered to be capable of monitoring pesticide dichlorvos (DDVP) residue in food samples with high sensitivity and accuracy, with significant potential to be developed as an alternative candidate for monitoring environmental pollution.

Sabra SG, Abbas N, Hafez AM. First monitoring of resistance and corresponding mechanisms in the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), to registered and unregistered insecticides in Saudi Arabia. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 194:105504. [PMID: 37532324 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Insecticides are widely used as the primary management strategy for controlling Myzus persicae, the devastating pest ravaging various vegetables, fruits, crops, and ornamentals. This study examined the susceptibility of M. persicae field populations to bifenthrin, fosthiazate, acetamiprid, spirotetramat, afidopyropen, and flonicamid while exploring the possible metabolic mechanisms of resistance. The study findings revealed that M. persicae field populations exhibited susceptible-to-moderate resistance to bifenthrin (resistance ratio (RR) = 0.94-19.65) and acetamiprid (RR = 1.73-12.91), low-to-moderate resistance to fosthiazate (RR = 3.67-17.00), and susceptible-to-low resistance to spirotetramat (RR = 0.70-6.68). However, all M. persicae field populations were susceptible to afidopyropen (RR = 0.44-2.25) and flonicamid (RR = 0.40-2.08). As determined by the biochemical assays, carboxylesterases were involved in the resistance cases to bifenthrin and fosthiazate, whereas cytochrome P450 monooxygenases were implicated in the resistance cases to acetamiprid. However, glutathione S-transferases were not implicated in the documented resistance of M. persicae field populations. Overall, the susceptibility of M. persicae field populations to flonicamid and afidopyropen-two unregistered insecticides in Saudi Arabia-suggests their potential as promising chemicals that can expand the various alternatives available for controlling this devastating pest. Although the detected moderate levels of resistance to bifenthrin, fosthiazate, and acetamiprid indicate a shift in the selection pressure of insecticides for M. persicae due to Saudi regulations, which have resulted in eventual obsolescence of conventional insecticides in favor of novel insecticides. Finally, rotational use of aforementioned insecticides can help in managing insecticide resistance in M. persicae.

Ecological threat caused by malathion and its chiral metabolite in a honey bee-rape system: Stereoselective exposure risk and the mechanism revealed by proteome. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 874:162585. [PMID: 36870510 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Honey bees play an important role in the ecological environment. Regrettably, a decline in honey bee colonies caused by chemical insecticides has occurred throughout the world. Potential stereoselective toxicity of chiral insecticides may be a hidden source of danger to bee colonies. In this study, the stereoselective exposure risk and mechanism of malathion and its chiral metabolite malaoxon were investigated. The absolute configurations were identified using an electron circular dichroism (ECD) model. Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used for chiral separation. In pollen, the initial residues of malathion and malaoxon enantiomers were 3571-3619 and 397-402 μg/kg, respectively, and R-malathion degraded relatively slowly. The oral LD50 values of R-malathion and S-malathion were 0.187 and 0.912 μg/bee with 5 times difference, respectively, and the malaoxon values were 0.633 and 0.766 μg/bee. The Pollen Hazard Quotient (PHQ) was used to evaluate exposure risk. R-malathion showed a higher risk. An analysis of the proteome, including Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and subcellular localization, indicated that energy metabolism and neurotransmitter transport were the main affected pathways. Our results provide a new scheme for the evaluation of the stereoselective exposure risk of chiral pesticides to honey bees.

Abstract
Chiral organophosphorus pollutants are found abundantly in the environment, but the neurotoxicity risks of these asymmetric chemicals to human health have not been fully assessed. Using cellular, molecular, and computational toxicology methods, this story is to explore the static and dynamic toxic actions and its stereoselective differences of chiral isocarbophos toward SH-SY5Y nerve cells mediated by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and further dissect the microscopic basis of enantioselective neurotoxicity. Cell-based assays indicate that chiral isocarbophos exhibits strong enantioselectivity in the inhibition of the survival rates of SH-SY5Y cells and the intracellular AChE activity, and the cytotoxicity of (S)-isocarbophos is significantly greater than that of (R)-isocarbophos. The inhibitory effects of isocarbophos enantiomers on the intracellular AChE activity are dose-dependent, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of (R)-/(S)-isocarbophos are 6.179/1.753 μM, respectively. Molecular experiments explain the results of cellular assays, namely, the stereoselective toxic actions of isocarbophos enantiomers on SH-SY5Y cells are stemmed from the differences in bioaffinities between isocarbophos enantiomers and neuronal AChE. In the meantime, the modes of neurotoxic actions display that the key amino acid residues formed strong noncovalent interactions are obviously different, which are related closely to the molecular structural rigidity of chiral isocarbophos and the conformational dynamics and flexibility of the substrate binding domain in neuronal AChE. Still, we observed that the stable "sandwich-type π-π stacking" fashioned between isocarbophos enantiomers and aromatic Trp-86 and Tyr-337 residues is crucial, which notably reduces the van der Waals' contribution (ΔGvdW) in the AChE-(S)-isocarbophos complexes and induces the disparities in free energies during the enantioselective neurotoxic conjugations and thus elucidating that (S)-isocarbophos mediated by synaptic AChE has a strong toxic effect on SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. Clearly, this effort can provide experimental insights for evaluating the neurotoxicity risks of human exposure to chiral organophosphates from macroscopic to microscopic levels.

Comprehensive evaluation of novel fungicide benzovindiflupyr at the enantiomeric level: Bioactivity, toxicity, mechanism, and dissipation behavior. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 860:160535.

Abstract
Racemates in the environment can lead to inaccurate risk assessment. To obtain the enantiomeric level information of benzovindiflupyr for accurate risk assessment, the absolute configuration of benzovindiflupyr was first confirmed, and the enantioseparation method was developed by supercritical fluid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The enantioselectivity for bioactivity and toxicity was investigated, and the mechanism was explored by molecular docking and detecting succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity and content of succinate acid. 1S,4R-(-)-benzovindiflupyr was identified as the most active against the six targeted phytopathogens, which showed higher 1.7-54.5 times than 1R,4S-(+)-benzovindiflupyr. Additionally, 1S,4R-(-)-benzovindiflupyr (LD50: 21.54 μg L-1) was 103.7 times more toxic than 1R,4S-(+)-benzovindiflupyr against Daphnia magna. 1S,4R-(-)-benzovindiflupyr had a stronger affinity for SDH and significantly inhibited SDH activity, resulting in an increase in succinate acid in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, while its downstream products, fumaric and L-malic acid were significantly reduced. Moreover, the dissipation behavior of benzovindiflupyr on three vegetables was evaluated. 1S,4R-(-)-benzovindiflupyr was preferentially degraded in tomato, but opposite in leaves. The enantioselectivity in pepper and cucumber leaves was the same as in tomato, while there was no enantioselectivity in pepper and cucumber. The study provides a basis for accurate risk assessment and the development of high-effective and low-risk fungicides.

Abstract
As a special category of pesticides, chiral pesticides have increased the difficulty in investigating pesticide toxicity. Based on their usage, chiral pesticides can be divided into insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Over the past decades, great efforts have been made on elucidating their toxicological effects. However, no literature has reviewed the enantioselective toxicity of chiral pesticides since 2014. In recent years, more chiral pesticides have been registered for application. As such, huge research progresses have been achieved in enantioselective toxicity of chiral pesticides. Generally, more researches have remedied the knowledge gap in toxicological effects of old and new chiral pesticides. And the toxicological endpoints being evaluated have become more specific rather than centering on basic toxicity and target organisms. Besides, the underlying mechanisms accounting for the enantioselectivity in toxicological effects of chiral pesticides have been discussed as well. All in all, this review provides the critical knowledge for risk assessments, and help to drive the green-technology of single- or enriched-enantiomer pesticides and formulation of relevant laws and regulations.

Abstract
Tetramethrin is a widely applied type I chiral pyrethroid insecticide that exists as a mixture of four isomers. In the present study, its stereoselective cytotoxicity, bioaccumulation, degradation, and metabolism were investigated for the first time at the enantiomeric level in detail by using a sensitive chiral high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS/MS) method. Results showed that among rac-tetramethrin and its four enantiomers, the trans (+)-1R,3R-tetramethrin had the strongest inhibition effect on the PC12 cells. In the earthworm exposure trial, the concentration of trans (-)-1S,3S-tetramethrin was 0.94-8.92 times in earthworms (cultivated in natural soil) and 1.67-5.01 times (cultivated in artificial soil) higher than trans (+)-1R,3R-tetramethrin, respectively. In the greenhouse experiment, the trans (+)-1R,3R-tetramethrin and cis (+)-1R,3S-tetramethrin were preferentially degraded. Furthermore, for rat liver microsome in vitro incubation, the maximum metabolism rate of cis (-)-1S,3R-tetramethrin was 1.50 times higher than its antipodes. Altogether, the aim of this study was to provide a scientific and reasonable reference for the possibility of developing a single enantiomer to replace the application of rac-tetramethrin, which could possess better bioactivity and lower ecotoxicity, and thus permit more reliable and accurate environmental monitoring and risk assessment.

Abstract
Root-knot nematodes especially Meloidogyne spp. are considered as most destructive obligate parasites that substantially reduce crop yield and quality. Fosthiazate is an efficient organothiophosphate chemical with nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne spp. The present study aimed to analyze the efficacy of fosthiazate against root-knot disease in Cucumis melo var. saccharinus and its potential effects on rhizosphere microbiome and metabolites. The fosthiazate (40%) was applied two times by spraying on the day of transplanting and during the pollination period (after 31 days). Samples from treatment (fosthiazate 40%: MF) and control groups (untreated plants; MCK) were analysed through metagenomic and metabolomic profiling of rhizospheres. Results revealed that root-knot index of the MF group (9.26 ± 1.28) was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than the MCK group (22.06 ± 0.71) with a control effect of 57.85% after 31 days of the first spray, whereas fosthiazate efficacy reduced to 31.87% after 38 days of second application with significantly (p < 0.05) different root-knot index values (MF: 56 ± 1.43 and; MCK: 82.26 ± 3.87). However, Cucumis melo var. saccharinus fruit yield in both groups (MCK: 21.1 ± 0.9 and MF: 21.53 ± 0.85) showed no differences (p > 0.05). Metagenomic profiling revealed Proteobacteria, Acidobacteriota, and Firmicutes as predominant phyla and Bacillus, Sphingomonas, and Acidibacter as predominant genera in rhizosphere soil samples of both MF and MCK groups. Further, a t-test revealed higher differential enrichment of Firmicutes at phylum level and Bacillus at genus level in MF than MCK. Metabolomic profiling of rhizospheric soil revealed a total of six differential metabolites (p < 0.05), four of them (Sucrose, Hexaonic acid 1, (Z)-9-Octadecenamide 1, and Hexadecanamide) were up-regulated in MF group, whereas two of them (2,3,4-Trihydroxy-3-(Hydroxymethyl) Butanol and Sulfurous acid, 2, ethylhexylundecyl ester) were down-regulated in CK group. Our study concluded that fosthiazate exhibits a better control over the rook-knot disease in the short term and resulted in trackable changes in rhizosphere microbiome and metabolome.

Abstract
As a forceful nematicide, fosthiazate has been largely applied in the management of root-knot nematodes and other herbivorous nematodes. However, the toxicity of fosthiazate to nontarget nematodes is unclear. To explore the toxicity and the mechanisms of fosthiazate in nontarget nematodes, Caenorhabditis elegans was exposed to 0.01-10 mg/L fosthiazate. The results implied that treatment with fosthiazate at doses above 0.01 mg/L could cause injury to the growth, locomotion behavior, and reproduction of the nematodes. Moreover, L1 larvae were more vulnerable to fosthiazate exposure than L4 larvae. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and lipofuscin accumulation were fairly increased in 1 mg/L fosthiazate-exposed nematodes. Treatment with 0.1 mg/L fosthiazate significantly inhibited the activity of acetylcholinesterase (p < 0.01). Furthermore, subacute exposure to 10 mg/L fosthiazate strongly influenced the expression of genes related to oxidative stress, reproduction, and nerve function (e.g., gst-1, sod-1, puf-8, wee-1.3, and ace-1 genes). These findings suggested that oxidative stress, reproduction and nerve disorders could serve as key endpoints of toxicity induced by fosthiazate. The cyp-35a family gene was the main metabolic fosthiazate in C. elegans, and the cyp-35a5 subtype was the most sensitive, with a change in expression level of 2.11-fold compared with the control. These results indicate that oxidative stress and neurological and reproductive disorders played fundamental roles in the toxicity of fosthiazate in C. elegans and may affect the abundance and function of soil nematodes.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, pesticides have been used in large quantities, and they pose potential risks to organisms across various environments. Reducing the use of pesticides and their environmental risks has been an active research focus and difficult issue worldwide. As a class of pesticides with special structures, chiral pesticides generally exhibit enantioselectivity differences in biological activity, ecotoxicity, and environmental behavior. At present, replacing the racemates of chiral pesticides by identifying and developing their individual enantiomers with high efficiency and environmentally friendly characteristics is an effective strategy to reduce the use of pesticides and their environmental risks. In this study, we review the stereoselective behaviors of chiral pesticide, including their environmental behavior, stereoselective biological activity, and ecotoxicity. In addition, we emphasize that the systematic evaluation of chiral pesticides at the enantiomeric level is a promising novel strategy for developing highly effective and less harmful pesticides, which will provide important data support and an empirical basis for reducing pesticide application.

Abstract
Fenobucarb (2-sec-butylphenyl methylcarbamate, BPMC) is a potent carbamate pesticide with high insecticidal activity. In this study, the enantioselective accumulation of BPMC in earthworms (Eisenia foetida) and dissipation in cabbage, Chinese cabbage, strawberry, and soils were investigated. The samples were prepared using the QuEChERS method and analyzed using fast and sensitive chiral high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis. The stereoselective accumulation of BPMC enantiomers revealed that S-(+)-BPMC was preferentially accumulated in earthworms rather than its antipode. However, the dissipation studies showed that S-(+)-BPMC degraded faster than the R-(-)-isomer in cabbage, Chinese cabbage, strawberry, and soils. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effect of BPMC enantiomers toward PC12 and N9 neuronal, A549 lung cancer, and MRC5 lung fibroblast cell lines was evaluated using an 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Compared with R-(-)- and rac-isomers, S-(+)-BPMC exhibited lower cytotoxicity in neuronal cells and a weaker proliferating effect on lung cancer and lung fibroblast cells. Altogether, the findings suggest the use of the pure S-(+)-enantiomer in agricultural management rather than the use of the racemate or the R-(-)-isomer, which might reduce the environmental risk.

Abstract
In this study, the safety and risk of fosthiazate as a nematicide against root-knot nematode in tomato and cherry tomato were evaluated. The dissipation and residue of fosthiazate for 28 days in tomatoes and cherry tomatoes were determined and studied by HPLC after simple, rapid pre-treatment. The mean recovery was 83.79~94.18%, and the relative standard deviations were 3.97~7.40%. Results showed that the half-lives of fosthiazate in tomatoes (4.81~5.37 days) were significantly lower than that in cherry tomatoes (5.25~5.73 days). At the pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 21 days, the residues of tomatoes and cherry tomatoes were 0.032~0.046 mg/kg, which were lower than the maximum residue level (MRL) established in China. The potential risks of fosthiazate exposure through the dietary intake of tomatoes and cherry tomatoes to different populations were also studied. According to the results of dietary risk assessment, the residual levels of fosthiazate were within the acceptable range of long-term dietary risk in different populations in China within the sampling interval of 21 days after the application of fosthiazate. Our results show that fosthiazate at 2250 g.a.i./ha in the field control of root-knot nematode has high safety and low risk, and can provide a reference for the safe and reasonable use of fosthiazate as a nematicide in the field.

Abstract
Locust plagues are still worldwide problems. Selecting active enantiomers from current chiral insecticides is necessary for controlling locusts and mitigating the pesticide pollution in agricultural lands. Herein, two enantiomers of isocarbophos (ICP) were separated and the enantioselectivity in insecticidal activity against the pest Locusta migratoria manilensis (L. migratoria) and mechanisms were investigated. The significant difference of LD50 between (+)-ICP (0.609 mg/kg bw) and (-)-ICP (79.412 mg/kg bw) demonstrated that (+)-ICP was a more effective enantiomer. The enantioselectivity in insecticidal activity of ICP enantiomers could be attributed to the selective affinity to acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Results of in vivo and in vitro assays suggested that AChE was more sensitive to (+)-ICP. In addition, molecular docking showed that the -CDOKER energies of (+)-ICP and (-)-ICP were 25.6652 and 24.4169, respectively, which suggested a stronger affinity between (+)-ICP and AChE. Significant selectivity also occurred in detoxifying enzymes activities (carboxylesterases (CarEs) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs)) and related gene expressions. Suppression of detoxifying enzymes activities with (+)-ICP treatment suggested that (-)-ICP may induce the detoxifying enzyme-mediated ICP resistance. A more comprehensive understanding of the enantioselectivity of ICP is necessary for improving regulation and risk assessment of ICP.

Abstract
Chiral fosthiazate enters the organisms via environmental exposure and food web enrichment. Liver subcellular fractions of rats (RLM) and cocks (CLM) were prepared to explore the stereoselective metabolism of fosthiazate in vitro. The results indicated that fosthiazate exhibited different stereoselective metabolism behaviors in RLM and CLM. The clearance rate order of RLM to four fosthiazate stereoisomers was (1R,3R)-fosthiazate > (1S,3R)-fosthiazate > (1R,3S)-fosthiazate > (1S,3S)-fosthiazate. However, CLM showed a faster clearance rate to (1S,3S)-fosthiazate and (1S,3R)-fosthiazate than the other two stereoisomers. The molecular docking results revealed that the stereoselectivity was partially due to the stereospecific binding between fosthiazate stereoisomers and cytochrome P450 proteins. The main metabolism pathways of fosthiazate in RLM and CLM were oxidation and hydrolysis with five common metabolites including M299, M243, M227, M103, and M197 being identified by LC-TOF-MS/MS. The present study provides the accurate data on risk assessment of chiral fosthiazate.

Abstract
In this study, the stereochemistry, stereoselective fungicidal bioactivity, and antifungal mechanism of chiral triazole fungicide metconazole were investigated. The configurations of metconazole stereoisomers were determined to be (1R, 5R)-metconazole, (1R, 5S)-metconazole, (1S, 5S)-metconazole, and (1S, 5R)-metconazole through using electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy. The bioactivities of four stereoisomers and their stereoisomer mixture toward Fusarium graminearum Schw and Alternaria triticina were found to be in the following order: (1S, 5R)-metconazole > the stereoisomer mixture > (1S, 5S)-metconazole > (1R, 5R)-metconazole > (1R, 5S)-metconazole. In addition, the fungicidal activities of (1S, 5R)-metconazole against two tested pathogens was 13.9-23.4 times higher than those of (1R, 5S)-metconazole. Molecular docking methodology was applied to characterize the docking energy and distances between Cytochrome P450 CYP51B and the metconazole stereoisomers, and (1S, 5R)-metconazole showed the strongest binding energy and the shortest distance binding to CYP51B than the other three stereoisomers. Moreover, enantioselective metabolisms of (1S, 5R)-metconazole and (1R, 5S)-metconazole by Fusarium graminearum Schw were investigated through NMR-based metabolomics. The amounts of alanine, arginine, acetate, ethanol, and dimethylamine produced in the presence of (1R, 5S)-metconazole were significantly higher than corresponding amounts in the presence of (1S, 5R)-metconazole, whereas the amounts of glucose, glycerol, glutamate, methionine, and trimethylamine formed in the presence of (1R, 5S)-metconazole were much less than those in the presence of (1S, 5R)-metconazole. This systematic investigation of metconazole stereoisomers would provide a new perception of metconazole in stereoisomeric level, including bioactivities, metabolic behaviors and antifungal mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pydiflumetofen, as a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) chiral fungicide, has been used in crop production because of its broad-spectrum and high-efficiency antifungal activity. However, little is known about pydiflumetofen at the chiral level. The stereoselective bioactivity and degradation of pydiflumetofen enantiomers were therefore investigated. RESULTS Pydiflumetofen presented effective bioactivity against the eight tested phytopathogens, and its enantiomers showed significant differences in activity. The bioactivity of R-pydiflumetofen was 9.0-958.8 times higher than that of the S enantiomer. Treatment with R-pydiflumetofen increased the cell membrane permeability of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and decreased exopolysaccharide and oxalic acid production more than treatment with S-pydiflumetofen. Furthermore, R-pydflumetofen exhibited better inhibitory activity against the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme of S. sclerotiorum than S-pydiflumetofen by 584-fold. According to homology modeling and molecular docking studies, the binding affinities of the R and S enantiomers were -7.0 and -5.3 kcal mol-1 , respectively. Additionally, the degradation half-lives of S- and R-pydiflumetofen in three vegetables (cucumber, eggplant, and cowpea) under field conditions were 2.56-3.12 days and 2.48-2.76 days, respectively, which reveals that R-pydiflumetofen degrades faster than S-pydiflumetofen. CONCLUSION Based on the results obtained, R-pydiflumetofen not only exhibited a higher bactericidal activity, but also posed fewer residual risks in the environment. The mechanism of the stereoselective bioactivity was correlated with the stereoselective inhibition activity of the target enzyme and affected the cell membrane permeability and the production of exopolysaccharide and oxalic acid. This research could provide a foundation for the systematic evaluation of pydiflumetofen from an enantiomeric view. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Among the title compounds, compounds 3 and 27 exhibited good nematicidal activities against Aphelenchoides besseyi (rice white-tip nematode), with LC50 values against of 27.3 and 35.9 mg/L, respectively, which were superior to that of fosthiazate (45.4 mg/L). Meanwhile, the LC50 value of compound 27 against Caenorhabditis elegans was 5.7 mg/L, which was superior to that of fosthiazate (77.2 mg/L). Compound 27 not only binds well to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of nematodes, but also has a good inhibitory activity against AChE. Thus, AChE may be a potential target of compound 27 against nematodes. Unexpectedly, compound 28 exhibited excellent antibacterial activities with EC50 values of 1.2 and 3.1 mg/L against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), respectively, which were superior to those of bismerthiazol (68.6 and 77.1 mg/L) and thiodiazole copper (80.8 and 96.6 mg/L). The curative and protective activities of compound 28 against bacterial leaf blight were 37.0% and 36.8% at 50 mg/L, respectively, which were higher than those of thiodiazole copper (16.1% and 15.5%). In addition, compound 28 may inhibit the growth of Xoo by affecting the production of cell membranes and extracellular polysaccharides. Amide derivatives containing an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine moeity can be used as good lead-structures to discover new nematicidal and antibacterial agents in the future.

Abstract
The stereoselective fates of chiral pesticides in the environment has been reported in many studies. However, there is little data focused on the fate of chiral fosthiazate in the soil and aquatic ecosystems at chiral view. This study investigated the stereoselective fate of fosthiazate in the soil and aquatic ecosystems using ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF/MS/MS). Significant stereoselective degradation among four fosthiazate stereoisomers were found in both greenhouse soil and water-sediment microcosms. In greenhouse soil, (1R,3S)-fosthiazate degraded faster than other three stereoisomers with the half-life of 2.7 d. The fosthiazate stereisomers in the seawater-sediment microcosm degraded more rapidly than in the river water-sediment microcosm. However, (1S,3R)-fosthiazate and (1S,3S)-fosthiazate possessed shorter degradation half-lives than their enantiomers in both microcosms, with the half-lives ranging from 3.4 d to 15.8 d. Ten degradation products were identified in the water-sediment microcosms, and, six of them were reported for the first time. Oxidation and hydrolysis were confirmed as the main degradation pathways of fosthiazate in the water-sediment microcosms. Our results revealed that the (1R,3S)-fosthiazate and (1R,3R)-fosthiazate may cause more serious ecotoxicity due to the longer half-lives than the other two stereoisomers in environment.
