Sulfur-substituted tetracyclic heterocyclic derivatives: SyngentaRecent Research Landscape

Uncontrolled pest resistance and off-target toxicity increase crop loss risks, which are mitigated by engineering specific sulfur-containing substituents onto heterocyclic scaffolds to modulate bioactivity. This chemical modification enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity for targeted pest control.

What technical problems is Syngenta addressing in Sulfur-substituted tetracyclic heterocyclic derivatives?

Crop damage from pests

(12)evidences

Crop damage and yield loss caused by insects, mites, and nematodes. Mitigating these biological threats prevents the destruction of plant propagation material and food supplies.

Agricultural pest resistance

(11)evidences

Existing chemical agents suffer from insufficient potency or resistance in target pest populations. Improving pesticidal activity ensures higher crop yields and reduced application frequency.
