Abstract
Structure-activity relationships for ( Z, E)-dienic analogs of ( Z)-5-decenyl acetate, a pheromone component of the turnip moth, Agrotis segetum, have been studied by electrophysiological single-cell recordings and molecular mechanics calculations. The biological activities of the dienic analogs are highly sensitive to the position of the additional ( E) double bond. The experimental observations are well rationalized by the use of a receptor-interaction model in which the biological activity is determined by conformational energies required to mimic spatial relationships in the natural pheromone component. A biologically active conformation for this compound is suggested.
