Some synthetic analogues of insect juvenile hormone cause tremendous rise of respiratory me­tabolism in the last larval instar of Dermestes maculatus. The O2 consumption values occasionally found in these hypermetabolic larvae (20 ml/g/h) can be classified among the most intensive res­piratory rates ever recorded in living organisms. The phenomenon is directly related to the dose of juvenile hormone activity and it is dependent on nutrition. The mechanism of such specific meta­bolic action of juvenile hormone is based on complete oxidation of the dietary fatty acids, provid­ing metabolic water for larval somatic growth. The excessive amounts of energy created by hy­permetabolism are partly converted to heat, suggesting uncoupling of phosphorylation. Some other specific endocrmological features associated with hypermetabolism have been discussed.

Juvenile Hormone Activity

AbstractFrom geranylacetone and by the use of a variety of reagents, twelve analogues of the juvenile hormone III were synthesized. The compounds (5-16) have an isoprenic structure bearing at the extreme of the chain functional groups as carbonate, carbamate, thiolcarbonate, thiolcarbamate, carbonyloxyimino and thiol carbonyloxyimino. Compounds 5-9 present the normal unsaturated isoprenic chain while compounds 10-16 have a monoepoxide function. All the compounds were tested for their respective juvenile hormone activity for Triatoma infestans and Rhodniusprolixus. The most active compounds were those having a thiol carbonate group independently of the oxidation state of the molecule. The synthetic procedures and the biological results are discussed.

Imaginal Differentiation

The juvenile hormone of insects is known to inhibit the process of insect metamorphosis. It is also known to stimulate ovarian growth in adult females of some species. It has been found recently that some substances with juvenile hormone activity also influence embryonic development. In the bug Pyrrhocoris apterus such substances, which prevent imaginal differentiation in metamorphosis, also affect the differentiation process of embryos at a certain stage of egg development (Sláma & Williams, 1966). This has been confirmed with other juvenile hormone analogues on embryonic development of silkworm eggs (Riddiford & Williams, 1967) and grasshoppers (Novák, 1967). According to the above observations eggs treated with the substances show abnormal development of the embryos, which may pass successfully through the early stages of embryogenesis but are unable to complete differentiation. Usually the embryos do not develop beyond the stage of blastokinesis and die within the egg shells.

Derivatives Of

Several derivatives of 4-phenoxyphenoxy-ethyl and 4-phenoxyphenylethyl bearing carbonate and thiolcarbonate as functional groups were synthesized. The products were tested for their respective juvenile hormone activity for Triatoma infestans. None of them showed an activity comparable to that of Fenoxycarb which was used as the standard control. The synthetic procedures and the biological results are discussed.

Dysdercus Cardinalis

Cotton stainers (Dysdercus spp.) are members of the family Pyrrhocoridae and many are pests of cotton throughout the tropics. Ten species are found in Africa (Pearson, 1958). Three of these have been established in colonies at Arusha, Tanzania. They are D. cardinalis Gerst., D. fasciatus Sign. and D. nigrofasciatus Stål.
