Natural Product Identification
Common NameJuvenile hormone III
DescriptionJuvenile hormone III, also known as JH III, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monocyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing 1 ring in the isoprene chain. Thus, juvenile hormone III is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Juvenile hormone III is found in Apis cerana, Cyperus iria and Lettowianthus stellatus. Juvenile hormone III was first documented in 2012 (PMID: 22664054). Juvenile hormone III is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 23034815) (PMID: 23121109) (PMID: 24657668).
