insecticidal leads

English to Portuguese Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
Spider toxins suggested suitable as insecticidal leads have immediate neurotoxic effects in the range of 10-100 pmol/g when injected intrathoracically; in comparison, the effect of α-1 at 1 µg/kg equals an amount of ~300 femtomol/g.

Selected

candidatos a inseticida

"Terminology
Lead compounds are sometimes called developmental candidates.[1] This is because the discovery and selection of lead compounds occurs prior to preclinical and clinical development of the candidate."(O grifo é meu.) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_compound

O texto se refere a "suggested suitable" e "immediate neurotoxic effects", o que me leva a crer que se trata de um composto químico que está sendo usado como candidato a inseticida. Faz sentido de acordo com a explicação acima.

Example sentence:

... constataram uma eficiência como candidatos a inseticida e larvicida, além de retardar o desenvolvimento de Lobesia botrana...

(compostos) inseticidas prospectivos

Diria assim. "Leads" aqui está para "compound lead", que traduzi como prospectivo; uma substância promissora, ponto de partida, na pesquisa para uma finalidade qualquer.

"A lead compound (i.e. a "leading" compound, not to be confused with various compounds of the metallic element lead) in drug discovery is a chemical compound that has pharmacological or biological activity likely to be therapeutically useful, but may nevertheless have suboptimal structure that requires modification to fit better to the target; lead drugs offer the prospect of being followed by back-up compounds." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_compound

Errata: "lead compound", não "compound lead".
