Abstract

Allatostatins (ASTs) comprise a family of insect neuropeptides isolated from cockroaches and found to inhibit the production of juvenile hormone (JH) by the corpora allata (CA). For this reason, the ASTs can be regarded as possible IGR candidates for pest control. Six peptidomimetic analogs according to the C-terminal pentapeptide of ASTs were prepared by solid-phase organic synthetic methods in an attempt to obtain new simple substitution ...
