    Notes: Summary Among about 50 compounds synthesized to inhibit enzymes involved in the biosynthesis pathway of ecdysone we selected seven molecules which showed a strong effect on ecdysone production byLocusta migratoria prothoracic glands incubatedin vitro. These molecules mostly possess a specific activity on ecdysone biosynthesis which is irreversible. The compounds were administered in one or several injections of aqueous or oily solutions at different times in the course of the two last larval instars. Three inhibitors led in a 10% ratio to a prolongation (sometimes more than 3 times the standard length) of the instar, pointing out a decrease in the ecdysone biosynthesis. Two other inhibitors induced some morphogenetic modifications in the adults, as size reduction or wing alterations, and metamorphosis difficulties. Thein vivo low activity compared with the strong onein vitro could be due to difficulties for the compounds to reach the prothoracic glands without degradation. The variation of inhibitory activity which appearsin vivo between the seven compounds studied is not linked either with the chemical structures of the molecules (which are very near one another) or with theirin vitro activity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Dans le but d'inhiber la biosynthèse de l'ecdysone au cours du développement chez l'Insecte, plus de 50 molécules ont été synthétisées selon la conception des substrats-suicides. Deux enzymes des dernières étapes de la biosynthèse de l'ecdysone, parfaitement connues, les C-22 et C-25 hydroxylases, qui sont des monooxygénases à cytochrome P-450, ont été choisies pour cibles. A partir d'une molécule de base présentant à la fois un bon pouvoir inhibiteur et des caractéristiques d'activité de type substrat-suicide, c'està-dire irréversibilité de l'action, spécificité de l'inhibition et sélectivité sur l'enzyme visé, de nombreuses modifications ont été introduites. Elles ont concernés notamment la longueur de la chaîne latérale, la nature et la position du groupement inhibiteur, la position du ou des groupements hydroxyles et la nature du noyau stéroïde. Des divers résultats obtenus, il est possible de conclure que les meilleurs inhibiteurs, qui diminuent significativement la production d'ecdysone des glandes prothoraciques incubéesin vitro, sont composés d'une chaîne latérale courte à groupement inhibiteur alcyne ou allénique dans le voisinage d'un groupement hydroxyle et d'un noyau stéroîde qui peut-être, indifféremment, de type cholestérol, 7-déshydrocholestérol, 3-déshydrocholestérol ou porter un cycle B saturé. On peut noter que les noyaux qui se rapprochent le plus de celui des ecdystéroîdes diminuent ou empêchentl' activité. Malheureusement, jusqu'à présent, ces molécules injectéesin vivo chez des larves deLocusta migratoria n'ont qu'une action réduite: elles ne produisent, dans les meilleurs cas, que de rares retards de métamorphose et quelques modifications morphologiques chez les adultes.
    Notes: Abstract For fundamental studies as well as applied research, we have set up a programme for the synthesis of irreversible and selective inhibitors of ecdysone biosynthesis. Suicide substrate type inhibitors have been synthesized in order to react in the last steps of ecdysone biosynthesis on C-22 and C-25 hydroxylases which are cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases. The most active inhibitors are formed of a steroid nucleus on which a short side chain, with an acetylenic or an allenic function closely linked to an hydroxyl group, has been grafted. The exact form of the steroid nucleus (as in cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, 3-dehydrocholesterol or a molecule with a saturated B cycle) did not appear essential for the activity of the chemicals. These molecules injectedin vivo in larvae ofLocusta migratoria induced some morphological modifications of the adults and a very slight delay in metamorphosis.
