Abstract
In the present paper, we report the identification of 4'OH JH-III, an addit ional hydroxy-JH-III, produced in vitro by the corpora allata of the Africa n locust Locusta migratoria. This shows that the three methyl group of JH-m linked to carbon 4, 8 and 12 can be hydroxylated generating three new puta tive juvenile hormones namely 4'OH-JH III, 8'-OH-JH-III and 12'-OK-JH-III. Both the role and the biosynthetic pathway of hydroxy-JH is discussed, open ing new perspectives for the studies on juvenile hormones and isoprenoid co mpounds. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
