Abstract In 2014–2019, we conducted six experiments in north-central Georgia in an attempt to verify the aggregation pheromone response of the ambrosia beetle Gnathotrichus materiarius (Fitch) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae: Scolytini: Corthylina) to sulcatol known to be produced by male G. materiarius; we failed to catch any G. materiarius. However, we did find that another corthyline ambrosia beetle species Monarthrum mali (Fitch) was attracted to (R)-(–)-sulcatol, whereas the longhorn beetle Leptostylus asperatus (Haldeman) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) was attracted to (S)-(+)-sulcatol. Attraction of both species was unaffected by the respective antipodes. Ethanol enhanced attraction of both species to traps baited with sulcatol. In at least one experiment, attraction to ethanol-baited traps was enhanced by sulcatol for Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky), Xyleborus spp., and Hypothenemus spp. but reduced for Cnestus mutilatus (Blandford) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). Additionally, traps baited with ethanol and racemic sulcatol [50% (S)-(+): 50% (R)-(-)] caught the greatest numbers of four species of beetle predators: Coptodera aerata Dejean (Coleoptera: Carabidae), Colydium lineola Say (Coleoptera: Zopheridae), Madoniella dislocata (Say), and Pyticeroides laticornis (Say) (Coleoptera: Cleridae). Ethanol but not sulcatol attracted Temnoscheila virescens (F.) (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae). Information on interspecific relationships within forested communities may help us to better determine the roles of these species in maintaining stable and resilient forested ecosystems.

ABSTRACT Adrenalectomized rats were used for the determination of the relative potency of various 6- and 9-halo substituted corticoids administered subcutaneously or by gavage using thymus weightas the endpoint. By subcutaneous injection, fluocinolone acetonide was the most active corticoid at 700 times that of cortisol. This compound was also the most active corticoid by the gavage route and was judged to be 570 times as active as the standard cortisol. The introduction of the 16,17-acetonide and 16,17-acetone 21-acetate groups into 17α,21-dihydroxy-9α,11β-dichloropregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione increased the activity by a factor of 42 and 100, respectively. The introduction of the δ1 double bond into 6α-fluoroprogesterone 16,17-acetonide caused an increase of 10-fold in thymolytic activity assessed by the subcutaneous route

Kecoa merupakan serangga yang suka hidup ditempat terlindung, tertutup maupun lipatan-lipatan sehingga susah diberantas, akan tetapi serangga tersebut mempunyai alat komunikasi yang  digunakan untuk memanggil sesamanya untuk berkumpul yang disebut aggregation pheromone. Aggregation pheromone ini diteliti untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai salah satu cara pengendaliannya. Pada penelitian ini aggregation pheromone diteliti dengan mengekstrak kotoran kecoa dengan berbagai macam pelarut dan hasil ekstraknya diuji secara biologi ditunjukkan dengan banyaknya kecoa yang datang dan berkumpul pada ekstrak AP tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini pelarut methanol merupakan pelarut yang paling baik dalam ekstraksi AP yang ditunjukkan adanya 80% kecoa yang datang berkumpul. Dari ekstraksi tersebut setelah dianalisa dengan alat kromatografi gas diperoleh senyawa aktif yang merupakan Aggregation pheromone dari kecoa Periplaneta americana L.  Senyawa tersebut diduga periplanon A dan periplanon B dengan waktu retensi 25,417 menit dan senyawa B dengan waktu retensi 27,007 menit.
