(S)-(+)-Methoprene

(S)-(+)-Methoprene is a widely used insect growth regulator. It is remarkable for its lack of significant effects against a wide variety of mammals, although concerns remain for its effects on arthropod development. Methoprene acts as an activator of the juvenile hormone receptor, known as Methoprene-tolerant or Met (Kd = 12.3 nM). Met is a transcription factor that, upon activation with juvenile hormone or methoprene, regulates gene expression that inhibits metamorphosis. Formulations containing (S)-(+)-methoprene have been used in the control insects in industrial, commercial, and residential areas.Formal Name: 11-methoxy-3,7S,11-trimethyl-2E,4E-dodecadienoic acid, 1-methylethyl ester.
