Dinotefuran (MTI-446: (RS)-1-methyl-2-nitro-3-(tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl)guanidine) is a new neonicotinoid commercialized by Mitsui Chemicals. Research led to this novel neonicotinoid by the removal of the chloropyridine or chlorothiazole ring that had been considered as indispensable for neonicotinoides. The research advanced as follows; (1) selection of acetylcholine for the lead compound, (2) recognition of the insecticidal advantages of 3-methoxypropyl compounds, (3) synthesis of (+/-)-tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl compounds by cyclization of the 3-methoxypropyl moiety. It resulted in dinotefuran which has a (+/-)-tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl moiety instead of a halogenated aromatic heterocyclic ring, and belongs to the third-generation neonicotinoids (sub-class: furanicotinyl compounds).

Accurate quantification of neonicotinoid insecticides is pivotal to ensure environmental safety by examining and mitigating their potential harmful effects on pollinators and aquatic ecosystems. In this scenario, detection of neonicotinoid insecticide, thiamethoxam (TMX), is significant for safeguarding ecological balance and human health. Hence, we developed a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of TMX in environmental samples, utilizing a novel nanocomposite with superior electrocatalytic properties and integrating an optimized neural network for accurate data analysis.

The risk of neonicotinoid insecticides to honeybees is a global issue. Cycloxaprid (CYC) is a novel neonicotinoid insecticide with outstanding activities, good safety profiles, and no cross-resistance with other neonicotinoids. Information on the environmental risks of CYC is limited, especially its effects on honeybees.

The development of novel insecticides with low bee toxicity has become increasingly urgent as many high bee-toxicity neonicotinoids have been progressively restricted. In this study, novel halogenated phenyl-substituted α-butenolide compounds were designed, optimized and synthesized through a progressive strategy based on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and the calculated oil-water partition coefficient (ClogP) of compounds. Among these, the difluorophenyl-substituted compound 3cj (lethal medium concentration [LC] = 40.

A novel imprinted composite nanoprobe for fluorescence turn-on recognition of acetamiprid was fabricated and applied to rapidly and sensitively detect trace-level acetamiprid in seawater. The fluorescent probe was prepared using modified fluorescein isothiocyanate as a response unit to improve the sensitivity of signal transmission. The quantitative analysis of acetamiprid was obtained by measuring fluorescence enhancement efficiency of the probe.
