Abstract
Ingestion of certain synthetic ecdysone analogs inhibited larval growth and development in several species of insects, whereas 20-hydroxyecdysone was inactive or considerably less active. Natural 20-hydroxyecdysone and ponasterone A, and a synthetic ecdysone analog inhibited ovarian maturation and egg production in the adult housefly. These effects appeared to be related to hormonal activity.Keywords
