(R)-(-)-Callosobruchusic acid

CAS: 87172-91-6

(R)-(-)-Callosobruchusic acid is a chiral compound derived from natural pheromone sources, commonly used in entomological and agricultural research. This compound originates from the aggregation pheromones of certain beetle species, specifically designed to affect the behavior of these insects. Its mode of action involves mimicking or interfering with the chemical signals that insects use to communicate, thereby influencing their behavior either by attraction or repulsion depending on the context and concentration of the compound.
