Fourteen analogues were synthesized by rationally modifying the 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl moiety of RH-5992, and evaluated for insecticidal activity against the common cutworm (Spodoptera litura). Although several derivatives showed good insecticidal activity, they were less active than RH-5992.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
