An in vitro system for the quantitative measurement of chitin synthesis in the cockroach: Inhibition by TH 6040 and polyoxin D

The β-ecdysone-dependent in vitro synthesis of chitin by cockroach leg regenerates was confirmed by chemical analysis and provides a sensitive, quantitative bioassay for inhibitors of chitin synthesis or materials with molting hormone activity via 14C-N-acetylglucosamine incorporation.

Abstract The β-ecdysone-dependent in vitro synthesis of chitin by cockroach leg regenerates was confirmed by chemical analysis and provides a sensitive, quantitative bioassay for inhibitors of chitin synthesis or materials with molting hormone activity via 14C-N-acetylglucosamine incorporation. Chitin synthesis in insect tissue was inhibited (I 50) by TH 6040 at 6·11 × 10 −10 M and by polyoxin D at 7·53 × 10 −7 M. An investigation of the low I 50 of TH 6040 showed that it partitions out of culture medium into tissue. This suggests that this compound may be magnified in food chains.
