Parasit Vectors. 2024 Jun 28;17(1):276. doi: 10.1186/s13071-024-06347-w.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can spread disease-causing pathogens when they bite humans to obtain blood nutrients required for egg production. Following a complete blood meal, host-seeking is suppressed until eggs are laid. Neuropeptide Y-like receptor 7 (NPYLR7) plays a role in endogenous host-seeking suppression and previous work identified small-molecule NPYLR7 agonists that inhibit host-seeking and blood-feeding when fed to mosquitoes at high micromolar doses.
METHODS: Using structure-activity relationship analysis and structure-guided design we synthesized 128 compounds with similarity to known NPYLR7 agonists.
RESULTS: Although in vitro potency (EC50) was not strictly predictive of in vivo effect, we identified three compounds that reduced blood-feeding from a live host when fed to mosquitoes at a dose of 1 μM-a 100-fold improvement over the original reference compound.
CONCLUSIONS: Exogenous activation of NPYLR7 represents an innovative vector control strategy to block mosquito biting behavior and prevent mosquito-human host interactions that lead to pathogen transmission.
