Nonsteroidal ecdysone agonists are novel compounds that have become attractive
candidates not only as pest control agents in agriculture but also as tools for research. Their …

Abstract Methoxyfenozide [N‐tert‐butyl‐N′‐(3‐methoxy‐o‐toluoyl)‐3, 5‐xylohydrazide; RH‐
2485] is the newest diacylhydrazine insecticide to reach the marketplace. It binds with very …

Susceptibility to methoxyfenozide of Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval)(Lepidoptera:
Noctuidae) larvae was determined through exposure of neonate and fourth instars to dipped …

In this chapter, we review five members of a novel class of chemistry, the non-steroidal
bisacylhydrazine (BAH) compounds that are true agonists of the steroidal insect moulting …

The spinosyns are a unique family of insecticidal secondary metabolites produced by two
relatively rare species of soil-dwelling bacteria, Saccharopolyspora spinosa and …

BACKGROUND In holometabolous insects, the major developmental transitions–larval
molting and pupation–are triggered by a pulse of 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) and …

The toxicity of two biorational insecticides, spinosad (Tracer) and methoxyfenozide (RH-
2485), was tested against eggs, larvae, and pupae of the noctuid Spodoptera littoralis …

The cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) is one of the most destructive pest
insects in Iran and many other countries. In this study, lethal and sublethal effects of …

In this study, 172 diacylhydrazine analogs were examined for their ability to activate an
ecdysone (molting hormone)-dependent reporter gene in a silkworm (Bombyx mori) cell …

The effects on the fecundity and fertility of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), exposed as
adults to surfaces treated with the ecdysone agonists tebufenozide (RH-5992) and …
