Description

Precocene II is purified from the herbs of Centaurea solstitialis L. Precocene II is highly toxic to adult female Rhodnius and can be used as a treatment of newly emerged females prevented oogenesis. Precocene II, 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. It is a botanically derived chemical that inhibits the production of juvenile hormone (JH) in insects.
