acids. Each of these defense substances possesses a reactive electrophilic center (vinyl ketone, nitroalkene, or β-ketoaldehyde) responsible for toxicity. We describe the synthesis of radioactively-labelled defense secretions of two of these species and their use in studying the substrate-selective detoxication by worker termites. Preliminary studies on biosynthesis of defense secretions by termite
犀白蚁(等翅目:犀白蚁)的高级属的士兵生产形式上衍生自脂肪酸的亲脂性接触杀虫剂。这些防御物质均具有负责毒性的反应性亲电子中心(乙烯基酮,硝基烯烃或β-酮醛)。我们描述了其中两个物种的放射性标记的防御分泌物的合成及其在研究工人白蚁对底物的选择性脱毒中的用途。还讨论了白蚁士兵生物合成防御分泌物的初步研究。
