A partition assay was developed to measure insect juvenile hormone (JH) I and III metabolism in biological samples containing both JH esterase and JH epoxide hydrolase activity. The assay utilizes commrrcially available radiochain 3H-labeled JH as substrate and the selective JH esterase inhibitor 3-octylthio-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanone. JH partitions into an isooctane phase and the metabolites JH acid, JH diol, and JH diol-acid into aqueous methanol after incubation of JH substrate with inhibited and unhibited sample. The assay provides a time- and cost-efficient alternative to the currently available thin-layer chromatography method for the measurement of JH esterase and epoxide hydrolase activity.
