<p>The present invention provides non-peptide organic compounds that have a structure analogous to or reminiscent of the TMOF structure and have pesticidal activity. Particular pesticidal compounds/non-peptide TMOF analogs of the present invention have formula (I) wherein: X is selected from the group consisting of -CHCH-, -CH2CH2-, and -CC-; Z is selected from the group consisting of -OH, -NH2 and -OR6 wherein R6 is loweralkyl; n and m are each at last (I) and together total an integer from 2, 3 or 4 to 6, 8, 10 or 12; and R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of -H, -OH, halo, loweralkyl, and loweralkoxy; subject to the proviso that: a pair of R1 and R2, R2 and R3, or R3 and R4 on the phenyl ring may together represent -CR7=CR8-CR9=CR10-, to form with the phenyl ring illustrated above a naphthyl ring system, wherein R7, R8, R9 and R10 are each independently selected from the group consisting of -H, -OH, halo, loweralkyl, and loweralkoxy. Thus the present invention concerns pesticidal compounds that inhibit digestion in pests by terminating or otherwise blocking synthesis of digestive enzymes by activating a TMOF receptor (collectively referred to herein as 'pesticidal compounds'). The pesticidal compounds and other compounds of the present invention are usefully employed in the control of pests, particularly insect pests such as mosquitoes, which ingest blood.</p> |
