The structure of certain newly synthesized non-bridged and bridged cyclopentadienyl titanium complexes and their insecticidal activity.

Three bridged and non-bridged cyclopentadienyl titanium complexes, synthesized in our laboratory, were tested for their insecticidal activity against Trogoderma granarium (Everts), the Khapra beetle, and show moderate toxicity towards this product pest. The non-bridged derivatives have been observed to be slightly more active than the bridged ones.

Histopathology and histochemistry of the insects treated with chemosterilants VI: brain damage including reduced neurosecretion caused by chemosterilants in Periplaneta americana (L).

The brain is damaged and neurosecretion is reduced in the P. americana treated with chemosterilants thio-tepa and bis (dimethylamino) dithiazolium chloride. The damage includes, separation of neurolemma, vacuolisation and chromatolysis in the nuclei of neurons and extensive damage to fibres. Reduced neurosecretion, vacuolisation in the cytoplasm and karyolysis in the nucleus of neurosecretory cells, are also observed. These changes in the brain are of considerable importance to understand the mode of action of the chemosterilants.

On effect of chlordane on the blood glucose and of glucose administration on the acute chlordane toxicity in Meriones hurrianae Jerdon, the indian desert gerbil.

The effect of 25, 50 and 75 mg/kg body wt. chlordane on the blood glucose level and of glucose administration in chlordane intoxicated Indian desert gerbils are investigated. Chlordane produces hyperglycemia and lowers the glucose tolerance indicating an impairment in the uptake and utilization of glucose in intoxicated gerbils. The possible reasons for these effects are discussed.
