Insect growth regulators (IGRs), which can interrupt or inhibit pest life cycles, are low-toxicity pesticides widely used in integrated pest management (IPM). Ecdysone analogues and chitinase inhibitors are familiar IGRs that have attracted considerable attention because of their unique modes of action and low toxicity to non-target organisms. To find new and highly effective candidate IGRs with novel mechanisms, D-08 (N-(4-(tert-butyl) phenyl)-2-phenyl-2,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrocyclohepta[c]pyrazole-5-carboxamide) was chosen as a lead compound, and a series of novel heptacyclic pyrazolamide derivatives were designed and synthesized using the scaffold hopping strategy. The bioassay showed that 111-27 (N-(2-methylphenethyl)-1-phenyl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrocyclohepta[c]pyrazole-5-carboxamide) had excellent activity against Plutella xylostella. Protein verification and molecular docking indicated that III-27 could act on both the ecdysone receptor (EcR) and Ostrinia furnacalis chitinase (Of ChtI) and is a promising new lead IGRs. The interaction mechanism of 111-27 with EcR and Of ChtI was then studied by molecular docking. These results provide important guidance for the study of new dual-target IGRs.
