tebufenozide
Sign in to saveAlso known as 3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-(4-ethylbenzoyl)hydrazide, N'-(t-butyl)-N'-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-N-(4-ethylbenzoyl)hydrazine
Tebufenozide is an insecticide that acts as a molting hormone. It is an agonist of the ecdysone receptor that causes premature molting in larvae. It is primarily used against caterpillar pests. It belongs to the class of diacylhydrazines.

Tebufenozide is an insecticide that acts as a molting hormone. It is an agonist of the ecdysone receptor that causes premature molting in larvae. It is primarily used against caterpillar pests. It belongs to the class of diacylhydrazines.
Because it has high selectivity for the targeted pests and low toxicity otherwise, the company that discovered tebufenozide, Rohm and Haas, was given a Presidential Green Chemistry Award for its development.
