What is the METHOPRENE ?

METHOPRENE is , while it's Molecular Formula is C19H34O3. Methoprene is a broad-spectrum synthetic JH mimic, which acts as an insect growth regulator (insecticide). It prevents larval insect stages from undergoing metamorphosis to viable adults and thus acts as a larvicide. Methoprene is considered a biochemical pesticide because rather than controlling target pests through direct toxicity, methoprene interferes with the insect life cycle, preventing the insect from reaching maturity or reproducing. It is useful for control of a variety of insect pests including ants, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, beetles, lice, and moths, but is only effective against larvae, not adults or pupae. In order to control some of these insects, methoprene is used in the production of a number of foods including meat, milk, mushrooms, peanuts, rice, and cereals. Many different products (e.g., pesticides, veterinary drugs) and formulations containing methoprene are commercially available. Methoprene products used for protecting pets such as cats and dogs include capsules administered orally and flea collars used externally. Production animals (e.g., cattle) typically receive methoprene in the diet as a food additive. Other formulations of methoprene include emulsifiable concentrates, pellets and tablets, granules, and aerosols. Some of these are applied to water for mosquito control whereas others are sprayed in areas where foods are stored to prevent insect infestations. A potential therapeutic use of methoprene was proposed in the context of African sleeping sickness, since it was observed that METHOPRENE killed Trypanosoma brucei in culture. However, methoprene acid, resulting from the insecticide metabolism, exhibited no efficiency as trypanocide. Consistently, methoprene administered to infected mice showed to be unable to eliminate trypanosomes from the blood.

What is METHOPRENE (40596-69-8) used for?

Methoprene is the common name for a racemic mixture of two enantiomers (R and S in a ratio of 1:1). The activity of the compound as a juvenile hormone (JH) mimic is restricted to the S enantiomer. Methoprene was the first insect growth regulator approved in the 1970s by the US Environmental Protection Agency after extensive studies showing low toxicity to vertebrates and rapid natural chemical degradation in the environment and through organism metabolism. Nowadays, it is one of the most widely used and successful insect growth regulators. Different products containing methoprene (e.g., pesticides, veterinary drugs) are commercially available in different forms (emulsifiable concentrates, granules, pellets, briquettes, aerosols, or sustained-release formulations). Some of these are applied to water for mosquito control whereas others are sprayed in areas where foods are stored to prevent insect infestations. Methoprene may be used in combination with other active insecticides to optimize pest control.
