Here, we synthesized and evaluated mucochloric acid derivatives as alternative tools for controlling this pest. We assessed the selectivity of these molecules toward the pollinators bees Apis mellifera and Partamona helleri and conducted in silico predictions for the interactions of these molecules with receptors for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABARs) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), and the enzyme acetylcholinesterases (AChE) of E.
