Ribavirin has high and delayed toxicity to Spodoptera litura. Larvae fed with ribavirin-containing diets cannot molt successfully and exhibit abnormal phenotypes. Ribavirin has negative influence on the cuticle and reduces the expression of key genes in juvenile hormone biosynthesis.
Ribavirin is an antiviral drug showing high and delayed toxicity to the destructive agricultural pest Spodoptera litura. Larvae fed with artificial diets containing ribavirin could not molt successfully and showed abnormal phenotypes, including cuticle melanization and heavy wrinkle of the newly formed procuticle. RNA-Seq analysis suggested that ribavirin has great negative influence on cuticle. Quantitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction results indicated that ribavirin treatment decreased the expression of key genes in juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis (CYP15C1 and JH acid methyltransferase) and most cuticle protein genes, whereas the genes in melanin biosynthesis and bursicon genes were upregulated by ribavirin treatment. These results coincided with the decreased titer of JH I, JH II, and JH III determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the much thinner procuticle layer exhibited by histopathological examination, and the cuticle melanization after ribavirin treatment. These results provided a valuable theoretical basis for the creation of green insecticides targeting JH and the development of new insecticide derivatives from 1,2,4-triazole.
