Description
Sources: http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/hydropregen.pdf
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: DOI: 10.1016/j.cropro.2006.01.014 http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/insect-mite/fenitrothion-methylpara/hydroprene/(S)-Hydroprene_tol_597.html

Hydroprene is a synthetic version of the insect hormone that regulates growth and development. Hydroprene can be considered as an alternative to conventional insecticides because of its specific activity against immature insect stages, low persistence in the environment, and virtually non-toxic effects on mammals. Hydroprene products are used on a variety of indoor sites including homes, offices, warehouses, restaurants, hospitals, and greenhouses.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Treatments with 10% hydroprene resulted in the maximum growth reduction of house dust mite at both 30 d (94%) and 90 d (97%)

Route of Administration: Other

In Vitro Use Guide

53% of the hydroprene (4.54 uCi/uM in 5 uL of ethanol) was metabolized after 30 min of incubation with isolated (3.6 x 10^6 per ml) hepatocytes.
