This study presents a comparison of the topical pheromonotropic activity in the tobacco budworm moth of a series of amphiphilic pseudopeptide analogs of the insect pyrokinin/PBAN peptide class incorporating fatty acids of varying chain lengths. While the C16 analog fails to penetrate the moth cuticle, and the C12 only moderately so, shorter chain analogs transmigrate the moth cuticle readily with decreasing cuticle-retention properties. A cholic acid analog topically induces twice the maximal pheromone titer of injected native hormone. From a pest management perspective, these non-aromatic hydrophobic components are expected to be more environmentally benign than benzenoid components previously used in topical insect peptide analogs. 相似文献

To study the effect of brain signals on the biosynthesis of juvenile hormone by the corpora allata of the grey fleshfly Neobellieria bullata, exposed corpora allata connected to the brain were surgically removed from sugar-fed flies and incubated in vitro with L -[3H-methyl]methionine. After incubation, the media together with the tissues were analyzed by HPLC. [3H]Juvenile hormone III (JH III), [3H]JH III bisepoxide (BE), [3H]methyl farnesoate (MF) and an unknown [3H]labeled metabolite (Un) were identified as the primary products. The rate of synthesis of [3H]JH III bisepoxide was higher than that of [3H]JH III, [3H]MF and [3H]Un. Two days after a liver meal, female flies synthesized more JH III, MF, BE, and the Un than did males. Synthesis of JH III, BE, and MF in females was lower during the previtellogenic, sugar-feeding period than during the vitellogenic liver-feeding period. Isolated corpus cardiacum–corpus allatum (CC-CA) complexes that were incubated in vitro synthesized less JH III, MF, and BE, as compared to complexes that were attached to the brain, indicating that the brain probably modulates the biosynthesis of JH III, MF, and BE in the corpora allata. Upon incubation of brain–CC–CA complexes with Neb-TMOF (10–8 M), Neb-colloostatin (10–8 M), ovarian, or brain extracts resulted in significant inhibition of JH III and BE biosynthesis in the presence of ovarian extracts. These results indicate that allatostatin-like factors are present in the ovary of the flesh fly. Arch. Insect Biochem. Physiol. 37:248–256, 1998. © 1998 Wiley–Liss, Inc. 相似文献
