Abstract

The stilbenes 4,4′-diaminostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid, 4-aminostilbene disulfonic acid, and dinitrostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid were tested as enhancers for the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdNPV). 4-Amino nitrostilbene disulfonic acid had no effect on the activity (LC50) of LdNPV, whereas both 4,4′-diaminostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid and 4-aminostilbene disulfonic acid were inhibitory. Diethylstilbestrol, a stilbene synthetic estrogen, and two synthetic estrogens (i.e., estradiol-17-acetate, estrone acetate) had no effects on viral activity. Two stilbene dyes (i.e., direct yellow 62, brilliant yellow 6) and a stilbene optical brightener (i.e., Tinopal LPW) significantly increased the activity of LdNPV. Activity was increased by approximately 230-fold by Tinopal LPW, 26-fold by direct yellow 62, and 36-fold by brilliant yellow 6. This study demonstrates that some stilbenes can act as enhancers, whereas others do not.

Résumé

Les stilbènes, l'acide 4,4′-diaminostilène-2,2′-disulfonique, l'acide 4-aminostilbène disulfonique et l'acide dinitrostilbène-2,2′-disulfonique, ont été évalués pour leurs effets stimulants sur le nucléopolyédrovirus (LdNPV) de la spongieuse Lymantria dispar(L.). L'acide 4-aminonitrostilbène disulfonique reste sans effet sur l'activité (LC50) de LdNPV, alors que les acides 4,4′-diaminostilbène-2,2′-disulfonique et 4-aminostilbène disulfonique ont des effets inhibiteurs. Le diéthyl stilbestrol, un œstrogène synthétique à base de stilbène, et deux œstrogènes synthétiques (i.e. l'acétate d′œstradiol-17 et l'acétate d′œstrone) se sont révélés sans effet sur l'activité du virus. Deux colorants (jaune direct 62 et jaune brillant 6) et un azurant optique à base de stilbène (i.e. le Tinopal LPW) augmentent significativement l'activité de LdNPV. L'activité est multipliée par un facteur de 230 par le Tinopal LPW, par un facteur de 26 par le jaune direct 62 et par un facteur de 36 par le jaune brillant 6. Cette étude démontre que certains stilbènes peuvent avoir un effet stimulant et d'autres pas.
