产品描述:
(S)-(+)-Methoprene is a widely used insect growth regulator.{27670} It is remarkable for its lack of significant effects against a wide variety of mammals, although concerns remain for its effects on arthropod development.{27670,27671} Methoprene acts as an activator of the juvenile hormone receptor, known as Methoprene-tolerant or Met (Kd = 12.3 nM).{27673,27669} Met is a transcription factor that, upon activation with juvenile hormone or methoprene, regulates gene expression that inhibits metamorphosis.{27672} Formulations containing (S)-(+)-methoprene have been used in the control insects in industrial, commercial, and residential areas.
