Azadirachtin I

Azadirachtin I is an insecticide targeting insect growth and development-related pathways (e.g., ecdysone signaling pathway, chitin synthesis pathway) . Azadirachtin I inhibits chitin synthesis and disrupting intestinal function by interfering with the growth and development processes of insect larvae such as molting and pupation, increasing insect mortality and reducing adult fecundity. Azadirachtin I is promising for research of agricultural pests, such as Lepidoptera, Coleoptera[1].
