Abstract
Anabasine sulfate is used in the practice of protecting the cotton plant and other plants from harmful insects, since it possesses a high toxicity for them [i, 2]. Dialkyl phosphates containing residues of various alkaloids, including anabasine, have been tested for insecticidal activity in the All-Union Institute of Plant Protection. It was found that in relation to its toxicity for the greenbug N-[~-(diethoxyphosphinylmercapto)ethyl]anabasine is close to a widely used pesticide rogor (dimethoate) [3]. In view of the possibility of the creation of insecticides with a directed action, we decided to intensify the biological properties of anabasine by modifying its structure through phosphorylation, since it is known that the mechanism of the toxic action of anabasine and of esters of pentavalent phosphorus is due to their interaction with cholinergic systems of insects [i, 2, 4].
