Description: 
(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.

 

Uses: Insecticide; insect growth regulator.
