Abstract
Camptothecin (CPT) is a prominent molecule in natural product research because of its application prospects in medicine and agriculture. In this study, CPT and its derivatives were discovered to be competitive inhibitors of group II and group h insect chitinases, both of which are key components of insect chitinolytic systems. CPT and 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) inhibited group II chitinase from Ostrinia furnacalis (OfChtII) with Ki values of 5.1 and 2.0 μM, respectively. Results from tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular docking analysis, and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that both CPT and SN-38 inhibit OfChtII-C1 by interacting with solvent-exposed tryptophan residues in a substrate-binding cleft. CPT exhibited high insecticidal activity toward the orthopteran pest Locusta migratoria, possibly because of the midgut metabolism of CPT, with only moderate activities toward lepidopteran pests. Even though SN-38 exhibited much lower insecticidal activities than CPT, it still showed higher inhibitory activity toward chitinase. This study reports a new molecular target of CPT and provides insights into molecular design of CPT-based insecticides against different kinds of pests.

Abstract
Nematode chitinases are critical components of the nematode life cycle, and CeCht1 is a potential target for developing novel nematicides. Herein, lunidonine, a natural quinoline alkaloid, was first discovered to have inhibitory activity against CeCht1, which was acquired from a library of over 16,000 natural products using a structure-based virtual screening methodology. A pocket-based lead optimization strategy was employed based on the predicted binding mode of lunidonine. Subsequently, a series of benzo[d][1,3]dioxole-5-carboxylate derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against CeCht1 as well as in vitro nematicidal activities against Caenorhabditis elegans were assessed. The analysis of structure-activity relationship and inhibitory mechanisms provided insights into their interactions with the CeCht1 active site, which could facilitate future research in improving the potency of the inhibitory activity. Especially, compound a12 interacted well with CeCht1 and exhibited excellent in vitro nematicidal activity against C. elegans with a LC50 value of 41.54 mg/L, suggesting that it could be a promising candidate for a novel chemical nematicide targeting CeCht1. The known binding modes and structural features of these inhibitors will contribute to the design of stronger CeCht1-based nematicides to control nematodes in agriculture.

Abstract
Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) is one of the most destructive pests in agriculture. Three chitinases OfChtI, OfChtII, and OfChi-h are regarded as potential targets for discovering novel agrochemicals to control O. furnacalis. In this study, piperine (Ki = 43.78∼83.03 μM) was first shown to exhibit inhibitory activities against all three chitinases. Subsequently, 19 novel piperine derivatives were rationally designed based on the conserved aromatic residues of three chitinases and then synthesized. Among them, Compound 5k (Ki = 11.78∼22.82 μM) was identified as the most effective multichitinase inhibitor and indeed displayed higher insecticidal activity against O. furnacalis than dual- or single-chitinase inhibitors. Molecular mechanism studies clarified that Compound 5k interacted with two conserved TRP and TYR of three chitinases in identical modes through hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic, and π-π interactions. Moreover, the microinjection experiment indicated that Compound 5k exhibited substantial sublethal effects against O. furnacalis by regulating its growth and development. This study provides evidence of multichitinase inhibitors to be applied in the control of O. furnacalis.

Abstract
Nematode chitinases play vital roles in various physiological processes, including egg hatching, larva moulting, and reproduction. Small-molecule inhibitors of nematode chitinases have potential applications for controlling nematode pests. On the basis of the crystal structure of CeCht1, a representative chitinase indispensable to the eggshell chitin degradation of the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we have discovered a series of novel inhibitors bearing a (R)-3,4-diphenyl-4,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazol-6(2H)-one scaffold by hierarchical virtual screening. The crystal structures of CeCht1 complexed with two of these inhibitors clearly elucidated their interactions with the enzyme active site. Based on the inhibitory mechanism, several analogues with improved inhibitory activities were identified, among which the compound PP28 exhibited the most potent activity with a Ki value of 0.18 μM. This work provides the structural basis for the development of novel nematode chitinase inhibitors.

INSECT SCIENCE 2021; 28:718-734. [PMID: 32428381 DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.12819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/29/2020] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri is the principal vector of huanglongbing, which transmits Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Trehalase is a key enzyme involved in trehalose hydrolysis and plays an important role in insect growth and development. The specific functions of this enzyme in D. citri have not been determined. In this study, three trehalase genes (DcTre1-1, DcTre1-2, and DcTre2) were identified based on the D. citri genome database. Bioinformatic analysis showed that DcTre1-1 and DcTre1-2 are related to soluble trehalase, whereas DcTre2 is associated with membrane-bound trehalase. Spatiotemporal expression analysis indicated that DcTre1-1 and DcTre1-2 had the highest expression levels in the head and wing, respectively, and DcTre2 had high expression levels in the fat body. Furthermore, DcTre1-1 and DcTre1-2 expression levels were induced by 20-hydroxyecdysone and juvenile hormone Ⅲ, but DcTre2 was unaffected. The expression levels of DcTre1-1, DcTre1-2, and DcTre2 were significantly upregulated, which resulted in high mortality after treatment with validamycin. Trehalase activities and glucose contents were downregulated, but the trehalose content increased after treatment with validamycin. In addition, the expression levels of chitin metabolism-related genes significantly decreased at 24 and 48 h after treatment with validamycin. Furthermore, silencing of DcTre1-1, DcTre1-2, and DcTre2 reduced the expression levels of chitin metabolism-related genes and led to a malformed phenotype of D. citri. These results indicate that D. citri trehalase plays an essential role in regulating chitin metabolism and provides a new target for control of D. citri.

In Silico Studies of Lamiaceae Diterpenes with Bioinsecticide Potential against Aphis gossypii and Drosophila melanogaster. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26030766.

Abstract
Background: The growing demand for agricultural products has led to the misuse/overuse of insecticides; resulting in the use of higher concentrations and the need for ever more toxic products. Ecologically, bioinsecticides are considered better and safer than synthetic insecticides; they must be toxic to the target organism, yet with low or no toxicity to non-target organisms. Many plant extracts have seen their high insecticide potential confirmed under laboratory conditions, and in the search for plant compounds with bioinsecticidal activity, the Lamiaceae family has yielded satisfactory results. Objective: The aim of our study was to develop computer-assisted predictions for compounds with known insecticidal activity against Aphis gossypii and Drosophila melanogaster. Results and conclusion: Structure analysis revealed ent-kaurane, kaurene, and clerodane diterpenes as the most active, showing excellent results. We also found that the interactions formed by these compounds were more stable, or presented similar stability to the commercialized insecticides tested. Overall, we concluded that the compounds bistenuifolin L (1836) and bistenuifolin K (1931), were potentially active against A. gossypii enzymes; and salvisplendin C (1086) and salvixalapadiene (1195), are potentially active against D. melanogaster. We observed and highlight that the diterpenes bistenuifolin L (1836), bistenuifolin K (1931), salvisplendin C (1086), and salvixalapadiene (1195), present a high probability of activity and low toxicity against the species studied.

Abstract
Molecular targets play important roles in agrochemical discovery. Numerous pesticides target the key proteins in pathogens, insect, or plants. Investigating ligand-binding pockets and/or active sites in the proteins' structures is usually the first step in designing new green pesticides. Thus, molecular target structures are extremely important for the discovery and development of such pesticides. In this manuscript, we present a review of the molecular target structures, including those of antiviral, fungicidal, bactericidal, insecticidal, herbicidal, and plant growth-regulator targets, currently used in agrochemical research. The data will be helpful in pesticide design and the discovery of new green pesticides.

Chitinase Gene Positively Regulates Hypersensitive and Defense Responses of Pepper to Colletotrichum acutatum Infection. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21186624.

Abstract
Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum acutatum is one of the most devastating fungal diseases of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The utilization of chitin-binding proteins or chitinase genes is the best option to control this disease. A chitin-binding domain (CBD) has been shown to be crucial for the innate immunity of plants and activates the hypersensitive response (HR). The CaChiIII7 chitinase gene has been identified and isolated from pepper plants. CaChiIII7 has repeated CBDs that encode a chitinase enzyme that is transcriptionally stimulated by C. acutatum infection. The knockdown of CaChiIII7 in pepper plants confers increased hypersensitivity to C. acutatum, resulting in its proliferation in infected leaves and an attenuation of the defense response genes CaPR1, CaPR5, and SAR8.2 in the CaChiIII7-silenced pepper plants. Additionally, H2O2 accumulation, conductivity, proline biosynthesis, and root activity were distinctly reduced in CaChiIII7-silenced plants. Subcellular localization analyses indicated that the CaChiIII7 protein is located in the plasma membrane and cytoplasm of plant cells. The transient expression of CaChiIII7 increases the basal resistance to C. acutatum by significantly expressing several defense response genes and the HR in pepper leaves, accompanied by an induction of H2O2 biosynthesis. These findings demonstrate that CaChiIII7 plays a prominent role in plant defense in response to pathogen infection.

Abstract
Chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) is an enzyme to breakdown β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in chitin and chitooligosaccharides. The loss of chitinase enzymatic activity in insects results in severe exoskeleton defects and lethality at all developmental stages, indicating that insect chitinases can be promising pesticide targets. However, there are no pesticides known to target chitinases. This perspective will focus on the latest research progress of insect chitinases, paying special attention to crystal structures and chemical biology advances in the field. The physiological importance and unique structural features of insect chitinases may ensure the development of new pesticides through a novel acting mode.
