Five novel homologous acetate derivatives of long-chain secondary alcohols and a related ketone were tested for their efficacy as contact mating stimulants for Cochliomyia hominivorax Coquerel (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Full copulatory behaviour at a high percentage was found in tests with racemic 6-acetoxy-19-methylnonacosane at 2.5-20 microg using fertile males from three strains. Males of two strains responded nearly as well to 7-acetoxy-15-methylnonacosane, but an older strain first colonized in 1992 did not respond to this compound. Few or no copulatory responses were obtained to the other secondary alcohol acetates and a related ketone. These two acetate derivatives are the first sex pheromones identified in a calliphorid fly. The threshold of response was also tested, but could not be pinpointed.
测试了五种新型的长链仲醇同源乙酸酯衍生物及一种相关酮类作为嗜人锥蝇(双翅目:丽蝇科)接触交配刺激剂的功效。使用来自三个品系的可育雄蝇,在2.5至20微克的外消旋6 - 乙酰氧基 - 19 - 甲基二十九烷测试中发现高比例的完全交配行为。两个品系的雄蝇对7 - 乙酰氧基 - 15 - 甲基二十九烷的反应几乎相同,但1992年首次定殖的一个较老品系对该化合物无反应。对其他仲醇乙酸酯和一种相关酮类几乎没有或没有获得交配反应。这两种乙酸酯衍生物是在丽蝇中鉴定出的首批性信息素。还测试了反应阈值,但无法精确确定。
