Description

Zein loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow-release agent and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pesticides. In particular to a zein loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow release agent, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The traditional pesticides have the problems of large using amount of organic solvents and poor dispersibility, and are mostly open systems, so that most of the pesticides are lost in the environment. Aiming at the problem, the precise controlled release technology is a new direction of research. The accurate controlled release technology takes the physicochemical property of pesticides as a research basis, selects proper carrier materials and administration ways, appropriately serves farmlands in good time, and carries out accurate controlled release on pest targets, thereby reducing the effective demands of crops on pesticides to the minimum, and gradually achieving the purposes of drug utilization, safety, adjustability, intellectualization and the like from direct release to slow release to controlled release. However, the current research on pesticide controlled release can only simply control the release rate of the pesticide, and can not enable the pesticide to be released in response to the environmental requirements, so that the usage amount of the pesticide is increased, and the effective utilization rate of the pesticide is reduced.
Insects are the most numerous animal groups on the earth, and are various in variety, different in form and very wide in range of motion; the lepidoptera insects are used as the second largest of the class of insects, the quantity of the lepidoptera insects accounts for about 16 percent of the total quantity of insects, and the insects in agriculture and forestry are more in species, so that the insect population has great threat to agricultural production. The study shows that the digestive tract structure of lepidopteran insect larvae is quite simple and is mainly divided into 3 parts of the foregut, the midgut and the hindgut (see figure 1), the intestinal environment is generally alkaline, the midgut is most alkaline in general, and the foregut and the hindgut are weaker in alkalinity. Therefore, if the drug can be targeted released aiming at the alkaline intestinal canal of lepidopteran insects, an environment response type targeting accurate release system is designed, so that the drug is kept in a relatively stable state in a neutral environment, but the release speed is increased in the alkaline intestinal canal environment, the drift of pesticides can be reduced, the action rate of the pesticides on the targets is improved, and the method has a great development prospect in reducing pesticide residues and environmental pollution.
Therefore, there is a need in the art to develop a pesticide microcapsule capable of being released in response to changes in environmental factors such as pH, enzymes, etc., so as to effectively kill lepidopteran insects and increase the rate of action of the pesticide on the target.

Zein (Zein) is selected as a carrier material in the present invention. Zein is natural protein with good biocompatibility, biodegradability and easy film formation in nature, raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, degradation products are amino acid and polypeptide, and environmental pollution is avoided. In addition, zein has the advantages of moisture resistance, ultraviolet resistance and adhesiveness, and can enable the residence time of the medicine on the surface of a target to be longer, thereby being beneficial to the absorption and conduction of the medicine, improving the stability of the medicine, and further greatly improving the effective utilization rate of the medicine.
Zein is stable in gastric acid but is degraded in the insect gut by alkaline proteases therein, which makes it useful for preparing drug delivery systems that respond to the insect's alkaline gut. In addition, the zein has good solvent self-assembly sphericity, so that the zein can be synthesized into nano particles without depending on an emulsifying agent, and can be prepared by using a phase separation method.
The invention selects emamectin benzoate (collectively referred to as emamectin benzoate and EMB) as the pesticide active ingredient to prepare the nano pesticide slow-release agent. The emamectin benzoate is a high-efficiency, broad-spectrum, low-toxicity and pollution-free biological source pesticide, has higher insecticidal activity, has extremely high biological activity on lepidoptera pests such as plutella xylostella, mites and the like, and is safe and low-toxic for human beings and mammals. However, the emamectin benzoate has a macrolide structure, belongs to avermectin compounds, and has the defects of short duration, easiness in photolysis and easiness in adsorption by soil, so that the application and performance of the emamectin benzoate are limited. According to the invention, zein is selected as a carrier material to load emamectin benzoate, and the nano pesticide slow release agent is prepared by optimizing the preparation process and parameters, so that the duration of the emamectin benzoate can be remarkably prolonged, the defects of easiness in photolysis and adsorption by soil are overcome, and the effective pesticide utilization rate is improved.
The inventor finds through multiple experiments that in the preparation method of the zein-loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow-release agent, the stirring time in the step b and the concentration of zein and the concentration of emamectin benzoate in the organic solution in the step a have influence on the particle size of the zein-loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow-release agent, wherein the influence of the stirring time on the particle size is the greatest, the influence of the concentration of zein on the particle size is the least, and the influence of the concentration of emamectin benzoate on the particle size is the least.
The inventor finds through multiple experiments that in the preparation method of the zein-loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow-release agent, the concentration of the emamectin benzoate in the organic solution in the step a, the concentration of the zein and the stirring time in the step b all have influences on the encapsulation efficiency of the zein-loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow-release agent, wherein the concentration of the emamectin benzoate in the step a has the largest influence on the encapsulation efficiency, the concentration of the zein has the secondary influence on the encapsulation efficiency, and the stirring time has the smallest influence on the encapsulation efficiency.
The inventor finds through multiple experiments that in the preparation method of the zein-loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow-release agent, the concentration of the emamectin benzoate in the organic solution in the step a, the concentration of the zein and the stirring time in the step b have influence on the drug loading rate of the zein-loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow-release agent, wherein the influence of the concentration of the emamectin benzoate in the step a on the drug loading rate is the largest, the influence of the concentration of the zein on the drug loading rate is the second, and the influence of the stirring time on the drug loading rate is the smallest.
The inventor comprehensively considers the influences of the proportion of each component and the technological parameters in the preparation method of the zein-loaded emamectin benzoate nanometer slow-release agent on the factors such as the pesticide particle size, the encapsulation efficiency, the drug loading rate, the slow-release performance, the insecticidal effect and the like, and obtains the optimal proportion of the components and the technological parameters.
