Bombykol is a pheromone released by the female silkworm moth to attract mates. It is also the sex pheromone in the wild silk moth (Bombyx mandarina). [1][2] Discovered by Adolf Butenandt in 1959, it was the first pheromone to be characterized chemically. [3]

Bombykol, the first insect sex pheromone, is identified as the female-produced sex attractant of the silkworm moth Bombyx mori.

蚕蛾醇 （英語： Bombykol）是一种由雌性成年 蚕 蛾（Bombyx mori）释放的 信息素，用以吸引雄性，其它 蚕属 昆虫如（Bombyx mandarina）也能分泌 [1][2]。 蚕蛾醇在1959年由 阿道夫·布特南特 发现，是第一种鉴定了化学结构的昆虫信息素 [3]。 ^ Kuwahara, Yasumasa.

2009年8月31日 · Bombykol, the pheromone used by the female silkworm moth Bombyx mori to attract a mate, was first identified and synthesised 50 years ago by Adolf Butenandt after nearly 20 years of determined work.

2022年7月4日 · Bombykol, a sex pheromone released by female silkworm moths such as Bombyx mori and B. mandarina, was the first one to be studied thoroughly. The pioneering work on bombykol was done by Adolf Butenandt and his co-workers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (Munich).

2018年9月10日 · In the silkmoth, Bombyx mori, female moths emit bombykol as a single attractive sex pheromone component along with a small amount of bombykal that negatively modulates the behavioural responses...

Bombykol is a component of the female sex pheromone of the silkworm moth Bombix mori , which is a geometrically pure insect sex hormone synthesized efficiently in a stereospecific manner. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic.

存在于雌性处女蚕蛾中，10-12μg的蚕蛾醇即可使雄性蚕蛾兴奋。 它是从昆虫中发现的第一个信息素。 作为农药主要用作杀虫剂。 1959年西德化学家Butenandt成功地从50万头家蚕雌蛾的提取物中分离、鉴定出第一个昆虫性信息素的化学结构 (反，顺)-8，10-十六碳双烯-1-醇 (E8，Z10-16:OH)，命名为“蚕蛾醇”。

2010年5月3日 · We serendipitously discovered that an endogenous OR in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is highly sensitive to the sex pheromone of the silkworm moth, bombykol. Intriguingly, the fruit fly detectors are more sensitive than the receptors of the silkworm moth, although its ecological significance is unknown.
