The latest study published in Nature by Andrew R. Burns, Peter J. Roy and co-authors is highlighted in this paper, they investigated a series of novel nematicidal compounds, including Selectivin-A and Selectivin-E, and explored their mechanism of action. Experiments have displayed that the Selectivin compound is inactive to human cells, fish, fungi, insects and even beneficial nematodes. In the exploration of its mechanism of action, it was found that the mechanism of action of Selectivin is different with those of commercial nematocides: Selectivin needs to be activated by biotin produced by nematodes, after that they can be transformed into compounds with high nematicidal activity. This proves that the family of Selectivin compounds has the advantages of high selectivity and environmental friendliness, and their mechanism of action is completely new, proposing a completely new path for the development of new nematicides.
