Abstract:

A series of novel anthranilic diamides containing N-substituted arylmethyl moieties was designed and synthesized, in which the bond distance and conjugation pattern between pyrazole and pyridine rings contained in Chlorantraniliprole were changed. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, elemental analysis or high resolution mass spectromentry(HRMS), and the conformation of compound 4d was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The preliminary bioassay results indicate that all the target compounds exhibited moderate insecticidal activity against oriental armyworm at 200 mg/L and some of them presented favorable antitumor activities against human lung cancer cells(A549), liver cancer cells(Bel7402) and colon cancer cells(HCT-8) in vitro by microculture tetrazolium(MTT) method, among which compound 6j afforded the best anti-proliferative activity at 5 μg/mL.

Key words: N-Substituted arylmethylene, Insecticidal activity, Antitumor activity
