BACKGROUND Derivatives of piperonyl butoxide with alkynyl side chains were tested in vitro and in vivo against pyrethroid‐resistant Meligethes aeneus and imidacloprid‐resistant Myzus persicae . RESULTS Synergists with the alkynyl side chain were more effective inhibitors of P450 activity in vitro than piperonyl butoxide, and demonstrated high levels of synergism in vivo , with up to 290‐fold synergism of imidacloprid against imidacloprid‐resistant M. persicae . CONCLUSIONS These ‘second‐generation’ synergists could overcome metabolic resistance in many pest species and possibly enable reduced rates of insecticide application in some cases. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry
