The excretion, retention, and tissue distribution of [3H]-dihydroazadirachtin was investigated in the variegated cutworm, Peridroma saucia (Noctuidae). The candidate compound was rapidly cleared from the hemolymph following either oral exposure or topical administration, with maximum concentrations at 6 h post-treatment and peak appearance of label in the frass at 12 h. However, approximately 45 and 55% of the labelled material was retained in the body at 72 h in respective treatments. Major depots for retained radioactivity were the gut (24% of the administered oral dose, 18.8% of the administered topical dose) and integument (12.2% of the oral dose and 30.7% of the topical dose). The variation in tissue distribution of dihydroazadirachtin with respect to the mode of application is discussed. A single polar metabolite fraction was obtained from the frass of dihydroazadirachtin-fed larvae. The physiological and behavioral effects of 22,23-dihydroazadirachtin and azadirachtin are quantitatively similar. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
