Figure 1. Chemical structures of juvenile hormone (JH) and JH analog (JHA) insecticides investigated in this study.

Figure 1

Seven forms of JH have been isolated from insects; all posses a methyl ester at one end of the molecule and epoxide at the other (A). JH III is the principal form of JH that is found in dipteran insects. JHA insecticides (B) are structural and/or biological mimics of JH.
