Abstract:
Based on previous structure-activity studies, four new azasteroids were synthesized and tested in several species of insects. These compounds, which are the most potent azasteroid inhibitors of insect growth and development tested to date, affect the hormone-regulated processes of molting and metamorphosis. © 1972 American Oil Chemists' Society.
