  • genetic variability in esterases and the insecticide resistance in brazilian strains of Oryzaephilus mercator and Oryzaephilus surinamensis coleoptera silvanidae
    Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2011
    Co-Authors: G A R Silva, A S Lapenta
    Abstract:

    Oryzaephilus mercator and O. surinamensis are stored grains and processed food pests, the latter being responsible for major economical losses. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to analyse esterase patterns during insect development. Seven esterases, three cholinesterases, two carboxylesterases and two acetylesterases, were identified in O. mercator , one of which was proper to adults. Five esterases, of which four were cholinesterases, occurred in O. surinamensis. Strains of O. mercator and O. surinamensis were also exposed to malathion and chlorpyrifos-methyl. According to the LC 50 estimates, OmLC-M and OmLA strains of O. mercator and OsLB strain of O. surinamensis were the most resistant to both insecticides. However, higher sensitivity to malathion and chlorpyrifos-methyl has also been verified in some of its esterases. Cholinesterases OmEST-1 and OsEST-5 seem to be involved in this resistance. These results suggest that organophosphate tolerance may be related to genetic variability in esterase isoenzymes.

  • A concise, efficient and flexible strategy for the synthesis of the pheromones of Oryzaephilus and Cryptolestes grain beetles
    Synthesis, 1993
    Co-Authors: Christopher D. J. Boden, John Chambers, Ian D. R. Stevens
    Abstract:

    Six of the seven macrolide components of the pheromone systems of grain beetles of the genera Oryzaephilus and Cryptolestes are synthesised by new routes of greatly improved efficiency. Iterative methodology based on the Wittig olefination is employed for the construction of the (Z,Z)-1,4-diene subunits in three of the lactones; chlorite oxidation of (Z)-3-alkenals derived by this methodology is used to form the (Z)-3-alkenoic acid functionalities present in four of the targets. The use of recently described conditions for the cyclisation of a Combretastatin analogue gives dramatically increased yields for the macrolactonisation steps in all six cases
