产品描述

Precocene II is a chromene that has been found in A. houstonianum and has anti-juvenile hormone activity.1,2,3 It inhibits juvenile hormone biosynthesis in isolated spontaneously active cockroach (P. americana) corpora allata when used at concentrations of 1 mM or higher.1 Precocene II (8 μg/cm2 coating in Petri dish) inhibits development of the corpus allatum in newly eclosed female milkweed bugs and causes allatal regression when applied 120 hours post-eclosion in normally developing females.2 It induces precocious metamorphosis in milkweed bug second-stage nymphs when applied as a coating to Petri dishes at concentrations of 0.4 and 0.7 μg/cm2.3 Precocene II inhibits ovarian development in various insects, including milkweed bugs, cotton stainers, apple maggots, and Mexican bean beetles. Precocene II also inhibits production of the trichothecene mycotoxin 3-acetyldeoxy nivalenol in F. graminearum (IC50 = 1.2 μM) without inhibiting fungal growth.4

Precocene II, a Trichothecene Production Inhibitor, Binds to Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel and Increases the Superoxide Level in Mitochondria of Fusarium graminearum

PLoS One 2015 Aug 6;10(8):e0135031.PMID:26248339DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0135031.

Precocene II, a constituent of essential oils, shows antijuvenile hormone activity in insects and inhibits trichothecene production in fungi. We investigated the molecular mechanism by which Precocene II inhibits trichothecene production in Fusarium graminearum, the main causal agent of Fusarium head blight and trichothecene contamination in grains. Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, was identified as the precocene II-binding protein by an affinity magnetic bead method. Precocene II increased the superoxide level in mitochondria as well as the amount of oxidized mitochondrial proteins. Ascorbic acid, glutathione, and α-tocopherol promoted trichothecene production by the fungus. These antioxidants compensated for the inhibitory activity of Precocene II on trichothecene production. These results suggest that the binding of Precocene II to VDAC may cause high superoxide levels in mitochondria, which leads to stopping of trichothecene production.

Precocene II nephrotoxicity in the rat

Toxicol Lett 1982 Jul;12(2-3):95-100.PMID:7112615DOI:10.1016/0378-4274(82)90170-9.

The effects of Precocene II (6,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene) on the kidney were examined histopathologically. Marked changes were observed in the proximal convoluted tubules, collecting tubules, and glomeruli. These changes included congestion of blood in the capillaries of the glomeruli, tubular cell degeneration, and tubular cell regeneration. In addition, blood urea nitrogen levels were elevated in precocene II-treated animals. The results indicate that Precocene II is nephrotoxic in the male Sprague-Dawley rat.

Effect of Precocene II on fatty acid metabolism in the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, under cold stress

J Insect Physiol 2005 Apr;51(4):411-6.PMID:15890184DOI:10.1016/j.jinsphys.2005.02.006.

Pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), reared at 10 degrees C contain higher levels of fatty acids than those reared at 25 degrees C. This is primarily the result of an accumulation of triacylglycerols containing myristic acid. When aphids reared at 25 degrees C were transferred to 10 degrees C there was a gradual increase in triacylglycerol content that reached a maximum at 16 days post-transfer. Treatment of aphids with Precocene II prior to transfer to 10 degrees C blocked the accumulation of fatty acids including myristic acid. A single application of 2 microg Precocene II/aphid or two applications of 0.5 microg Precocene II/ aphid administered on consecutive days resulted in aphids moved to 10 degrees C maintaining the same fatty acid profile as aphids maintained at 25 degrees C. Aphids that were treated with Precocene II and maintained at 25 degrees C did not show changes in fatty acid profiles. Rearing aphids at 10 degrees C resulted in lower rates of reproduction and lower total numbers of progeny with longer longevity. Treatment with Precocene II significantly decreased the total number of progeny produced at both temperatures. Precocene II did not reduce life span of aphids reared at 25 degrees C, however, the life span of treated aphids reared at 10 degrees C was decreased. The mechanism by which Precocene II prevents the accumulation of myristic acid in aphids reared at 10 degrees C remains to be determined.

The effects of Precocene II on reproduction and development of triatomine bugs (Reduviidae: Triatominae)

Am J Trop Med Hyg 1982 Mar;31(2):416-20.PMID:7041667DOI:10.4269/ajtmh.1982.31.416.

Precocene II is a botanically derived chemical that inhibits the production of juvenile hormone (JH) in insects. The effects of this anti-JH compound on molting and growth by Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma dimidiata and reproduction in R. prolixus were tested and the efficacy of Precocene II as a fumigant was assessed. Precocene II induced precocious metamorphosis in both species when applied by either contact exposure or fumigation, and this effect could be prevented by juvenile hormone replacement therapy. The dosage effective in inducing precocious metamorphosis in T. dimidiata was similar to the EC50 previously reported for R. prolixus. The morphology of precocious adultoid T. dimidiata of different instars was similar to Rhodnius adultoids of corresponding instars. However, T. dimidiata was more sensitive than Rhodnius to the molt-inhibiting effects of Precocene II. Rhodnius nymphs were fully susceptible to the anti-JH action of precocene when exposed for 24 hours one week before feeding. Precocene II was highly toxic to adult female Rhodnius and treatment of newly emerged females prevented oogenesis.

Alteration of precocene II-induced hepatotoxicity by modulation of hepatic glutathione levels

Chem Biol Interact 1989;71(2-3):187-99.PMID:2598296DOI:10.1016/0009-2797(89)90034-3.

Precocene II (6,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-benzo[b]pyran), an insect growth regulator that is structurally related to several naturally occurring carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic alkenylbenzenes, is genotoxic and produces hepatic centrolobular necrosis in rats. This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of modulation of hepatic glutathione levels on the toxicity of Precocene II. Administration of a toxic dose of Precocene II (175 mg/kg) to male Sprague-Dawley rats rapidly depleted hepatic GSH, produced histopathological changes in the liver, and induced increases in serum aminotransferase activity. Concurrent administration of the cysteine pro-drug L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (OTC) prevented these toxic effects of Precocene II. In contrast, pretreatment of rats with DL-buthionine-SR-sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, potentiated the toxicity of an otherwise non-toxic dose of Precocene II (100 mg/kg). These results indicate that glutathione is important for protection from precocene II-induced hepatotoxicity.
