We hope that you are excited about the new weekend article from Geroge so today we are taking a little break from medicinal chemistry topics to talk about another important research field – pesticide discovery.  

The article we have chosen to highlight today gives a summary of the application of spiro derivatives in this industry. As always, we are excited to remind you about Chemspace Spiro Fragments Collection.  

We will be happy to provide high-quality compounds to boost your research!

The authors of the paper did substantial work in summarizing properties of compounds with insecticidal, bactericidal, fungicidal, herbicidal, antiviral, and plant growth regulating functions to provide insight for the creation of new spiro compound pesticides. This information is crucially important for rational drug design and optimization of potentially active compounds to become new pesticides in the future.   

Such developments are highly important for the agricultural industry to ensure our safety and higher harvests to fulfill the lack of food existing in certain regions of the world.
