Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Several analogs of precocene have been synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of juvenile hormone onLocusta migratoria. Only 5,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene was active; its ED50 and LD50 were measured and compared to those of precocene I and II.
