Abstract:Allatostatin (AST) is a class of insect neuropeptides that affects insect growth and development by inhibiting the synthesis of juvenile hormones (JH) in different insects. Ⅲ-2 is a novel allatostatin-A(AST-A)analog derived from a class of nitroaromatic groups connected by different amino acids. In this study, we found that Ⅲ-2 showed high insecticidal activity against S. frugiperda larvae with a LC50 of 18.7 mg L-1. As demonstrated by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/M… Show more
