Chemical investigation of the roots of Cananga latifolia led to the isolation and purification of thirteen juvenile hormone III analogues. Six new analogues, canangalias C-H (1-6) and a new natural product, (2E,6E,10R)-10-acetoxy-11-hydroxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6-dienoic acid methyl ester (7), were isolated. In addition, six known juvenile hormone III analogues were isolated. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR, IR and mass spectrometry.

Juvenile hormone (JH) regulates multiple physiological functions in insects including growth, metamorphosis, and reproduction. Juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolase (JHEH) and juvenile hormone esterase (JHE) are degradative enzymes that metabolise JH, and JH receptor (methoprene-tolerant, ) functions in the regulation of female reproduction and vitellogenesis. In this study, JH titres in adult females were determined using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry; the JH titres ranged from 0.

The timing of metamorphosis and settlement is critical for the survival and reproductive success of marine animals with biphasic life cycles. Thyroid hormones (THs) regulate developmental timing in diverse groups of chordates, including the regulation of metamorphosis in amphibians, teleosts, lancelets, tunicates, and lampreys. Recent evidence suggests a role for TH regulation of metamorphosis outside of the chordates, including echinoderms, annelids, and molluscs.

Article Synopsis
  • Effective control of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is vital to reduce diseases like dengue and zika, focusing on blocking their transition from larvae to adults.
  • Research shows that histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a role in regulating juvenile hormone (JH) signaling and metamorphosis, particularly in other insects, but their function in Aedes aegypti is not well understood.
  • Knocking down specific HDAC genes increased the expression of a key gene (Kr-h1) involved in larval development, with each HDAC affecting different biological processes in mosquito growth, leading to varied developmental issues.
