Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Juvenile hormone is an insect hormone that regulates various physiological mechanisms such as molting and metamorphosis. Therefore, its receptor Methoperen-tolerant (Met) is attracting attention as a target molecule for new insect growth regulators. In this study, we have studied for the purpose of developing a JH antagonist that suppresses function of Met by directly binding. We synthesized various compounds by organic synthesis and examined their biological activities by precocious metamorphosis-inducing activity test against silkworm larva and the binding test to Met protein of the silkworm. As a result, we found compound NY04 as a novel JH antagonist.
