Article Synopsis
- Matrine is a traditional insecticide that is typically used with other pesticides due to its moderate effectiveness.
- Scientists synthesized new matrine derivatives with cyclohexylamine groups to test their insecticidal efficacy against common agricultural pests.
- While the new compounds showed poor activity against most pests, two specific derivatives (compounds 2 and 4) demonstrated significantly higher effectiveness, particularly against Lipaphis erysimi and Mulberry Root-Knot Nematode, indicating potential for future crop protection developments.
