Synthesis and anti-juvenile hormone activity of ethyl 4-(2-aryloxyhexyloxy)benzoates.

چکیده
A series of ethyl 4-(2-aryloxyhexyloxy)benzoates was prepared and tested for their activity to induce precocious metamorphosis in larvae of the silkworm. Phenyl analog 5 showed activity comparable to that of the 6-methyl-3-pyridyl analog reported as a novel anti-JH agent. The activity of 5 could be fully counteracted by methoprene, a JH agonist. The ethoxycarbonyl group of 5 was essential for its activity.

Synthesis and Anti–Juvenile Hormone Activity of Alkyl 4–(2–Phenoxyalkyloxy)benzoates and Related Compounds
Since juvenile hormone (JH) is involved in a wide range of physiological processes in both developing and mature insects (Riddiford, 1994), compounds that possess anti–JH activity are potentially useful not only as biochemical probes to assist in elucidating the role of JH in insect development and reproduction, but also as insect growth regulators (Staal, 1986). Several compounds including pre...

We have recently discovered ethyl 4–(2–benzylhexyloxy)benzoate (KF–13) as a novel anti–juvenile hormone (anti–JH) agent (Furuta et al., 2007). This compound induced precocious metamorphosis in larvae of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, a clear sign of JH deficiency, and its activity could be completely counteracted by the simultaneous application of methoprene, a JH agonist. Although KF–13 induced ob...

A series of ethyl 2-[2-arylamino-4-(thiophen-2-yl)thiazol-5-yl] acetates (5a-5k) and ethyl 2-[2-(arylhydrazino)-4-(thiophen-2-yl)thiazol-5-yl] acetates (9a-9g) were synthesized and screened for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant activities. In vivo test results showed that the compounds with halogen substitution (5c, 5g, 5h, 5i and 5j) at the para position on the 2-aryl amino g...

متن کاملDesign, Synthesis and Anti-Tubercular Activity of Novel 1, 4-Dihydropyrine-3, 5-Dicarboxamide Containing 4(5)-Chloro-2-Ethyl-5(4)-Imidazolyl Moiety
Current researches have showed that N3, N5-diaryl-2, 6-dimethyl -1, 4-dihydropyrine-3, 5- dicarboxamide analogues demonstrate notable anti-tubercular activity. In this study, Hantzsch condensation was used to design and synthesize new analogues of dihydropyridine (DHP). Different diary carboxamides were inserted at positions 3 and 5 of the DHP ring. 4(5)-chloro-2-ethyl-5(4)-imidazolyl moiety wa...
