**7. Conclusion**

In summary, pesticides are a major environmental issue. Alternative strategies need to be explored, based on phytocompounds and natural extracts. Following this idea, the synthetic compounds mimicking the structure of natural products and modifying this molecules by several approaches as for example hemisynthesis or total synthesis will enhance the molecular diversity. These innovative biomimetic modified pesticides will open new perspectives in the fight against pests, improving crop efficiency and decreasing food crisis while maintaining sustainability.
