Azido-substituted octopamine agonists and the use thereof to control invertebrate pests

摘要

The invention is directed to azido-substituted octopamine agonists and the radiolabeled derivatives thereof. The invention also relates to past controlling compositions comprising the azido-substituted octopamine agonists of the invention. The invention also relates to methods of controlling invertebrate pests by bringing the pest into contact with an invertebrate pest-controlling composition of the invention and to an apparatus for controlling invertebrate pests utilizing the pest-controlling compositions of the invention. The pest-controlling compositions may be used alone or in conjunction with ultraviolet light. The invention also relates to methods for the isolation of octopamine receptor proteins utilizing the radiolabeled azido-substituted octopamine agonists of the invention.
