Structure–activity relationship of novel juvenile hormone, JHSB3, isolated from the stink bug, Plautia stali
摘要:
The structure-activity relationship of JHSB(3) isolated from the pentatomid bug. Plautia stali, was studied. Various synthetic analogs were synthesized and subjected to the juvenilizing activity tests using the last instar nymphs of P. stali. These studies indicated that the coexistence of the ester carbonyl group, two epoxides at C2,3 and C10,11 were proved to be crucial for the potent juvenilizing activity. Among the tested analogs, we found highly potent analogs in which the C6,7 double bond of JHSB3 was saturated (0.1 mu g/insect). The methoxy analogs in which the epoxide moiety at C10,11 was substituted with a methoxy group exerted a moderate juvenilizing activity. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
ent-Cholesterol was synthesized in 16 steps,from commercially available (S)-citronellol. The overall yield for the synthesis was 2.0%. This route is amenable to gram-scale preparation of ent-cholesterol. Isotopic incorporation near the end of the synthesis was achieved using labeled methyl iodide. This synthesis is the most practical to date and will make ent-cholesterol more readily available to use as a probe of the function and metabolism of cholesterol.
