Natural products are an abundant and environmentally friendly source for controlling plant pathogens and insect pests. Toward the development of new natural product-based pesticides, here, a series of osthole-based isoxazoline derivatives were prepared by [3 + 2] annulation and evaluated for their insecticidal activities and toxicities. The structures of all osthole-based isoxazoline derivatives were characterized by various spectral analyses, and derivative B13 was further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Among all the osthole derivatives, B2 displayed the most promising growth inhibitory effect on Mythimna separata with a final corrected mortality rate of 96.4% ± 3.3, which was 1.80 times higher than those of both osthole and toosendanin. Derivative B13 displayed the most promising larvicidal activity against Plutella xylostella with an LC₅₀ value of 0.220 mg/mL, which was superior to rotenone. Furthermore, both B13 and B21 also exhibited better control efficacy against P. xylostella than rotenone in the pot experiments. Additionally, the toxicity evaluation suggested that these osthole-based isoxazoline derivatives showed relatively low toxicity toward nontarget organisms. Given these results, osthole derivatives B2, B13, and B21 could be deeply developed as natural insecticidal agents in agriculture.
