Disclosed is a pest control composition comprising at least one pyripyropene derivative of formula (I) or agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable salt thereof and at least one other pest control agent as active ingredients. The combined use of the two ingredients can provide a better insecticidal effect. 

Pest control composition

Disclosed are compounds that are utilizable as systemic insecticides and possess excellent systemic properties. Compounds represented by formula (1) have excellent systemic insecticidal activity. Accordingly, a composition comprising as an active ingredient the compound of formula (1) or salt thereof is useful as a systemic insecticide. 

Systemic insecticide

An isolated novel polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding at least one polypeptide involved in biosynthesis of pyripyropene A, a recombinant vector comprising the polynucleotide and a transformant comprising the polynucleotide are disclosed. By the present invention, a pyripyropene A biosynthetic gene useful for production of a novel pyripyropene analog, improvement of productivity of a pyripyropene A-producing bacterium, production of an insecticidal agent for microorganisms, creation of a plant resistant to insect pests or the like are provided.

Pyripyropene a biosynthetic gene

There is provided a method for culturing a microorganism in which a particular polynucleotide or a recombinant vector comprising it/them is introduced with an intermediate compound necessary for biosynthesis of pyripyropene A. The method of the present invention allows for the production of pyripyropene.

Method for producing pyripyropene

Disclosed is a composition for use as a pest control agent, comprising a compound represented by formula (I) or an agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable salt thereof as active ingredient and an agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable carrier: 

Pest control agents

Disclosed is a compound usable as a pest control agent and has excellent pest control activity. A compound represented by formula (I) has excellent pest control activity. The compound or an agriculturally or horticulturally acceptable salt thereof is thus useful as a pest control agent. 

Pest control agent

Disclosed are compounds that have excellent insecticidal activity and are usable as agricultural and horticultural insecticides. Compounds represented by formula (I) or agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable acid addition salts thereof have excellent insecticidal activity and are usable as agricultural and horticultural insecticides. 

Quinoline derivatives and insecticide comprising thereof as active ingredient

There is provided a pest control agent comprising a compound represented by formula (I) as active ingredient. 

An objective of the present invention is to provide a harmful organism control agent that possesses excellent control effect against harmful organisms and can be safely used. The present invention provides a compound of formula (1) or a salt thereof. The present invention also provides a harmful organism control agent comprising the compound of formula (1). wherein R, n, R, and Rare as defined in the specification.

Pest controllers

An objective of the present invention is to provide an ectoparasite control agent for homothermic animals, which has high control effect and is safe. The compounds according to the present invention are compounds represented by formula (I) and salts thereof:wherein Rrepresents optionally substituted alkyl; optionally substituted alkenyl; optionally substituted alkynyl; ORwherein Rrepresents optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, or optionally substituted alkynyl; or SRwherein Ris as defined above, Rrepresents optionally substituted alkyl, any one of Rand Rrepresents hydrogen and the other represents fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or CF, and X represents fluorine or chlorine.
