- Sugar derivatives containing oxiranes and α,β-unsaturated γ-lactones as potential environmentally friendly insecticidesPublication . Justino, Jorge; Rauter, A. P.; Canda, T.; Wilkins, R.; Matthews, E.A range of novel sugar derivatives containing oxiranes or α,β-unsaturated γ-lactones in their structure were evaluated as potential insecticides with the added possible benefit of being benign in the environment. A number of arthropod species were chosen to represent those in the terrestrial, aerial and aquatic environments, covering target adult insects such as Musca domestica L (housefly) and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (glasshouse whitefly), which are public health and horticultural pests, Drosophila melanogaster Meig (fruitfly), both adult and larva, and a marine non-target crustacean, Artemia salina L. The tested compounds possessed efficacy and selectivity against these insect species, but were not toxic to brine shrimps, a reference organism in assays to evaluate the potential toxicity hazard to invertebrates in ecosystems.
