In response to unfavorable conditions, nematodes develop into the stress-resistant dauer larvae. Under favorable conditions, many nematodes are known to synthesize dafachronic acids (DAs) that bind to the conserved nuclear hormone receptor DAF-12 to suppress dauer development. However, the enzymes involved in the production of DAs have not been thoroughly investigated in Pristionchus pacificus . Here we show that the cytochrome P450 inhibitor Dafadine-A, which suppresses DAF-9 in DA biosynthesis in C. elegans and other nematode species, does not cause constitutive dauer formation or gonad migration defects in P. pacificus wild type. Instead, Dafadine-A may slightly reduce P. pacificus growth rate.

NIH is the nations medical research agency - making important medical discoveries that improve health and save lives. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the primary Federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research. Helping to lead the way toward important medical discoveries that improve peoples health and save lives, NIH scientists investigate ways to prevent disease as well as the causes, treatments, and even cures for common and rare diseases. NIH research impacts: * child and teen health, * men's health, * minority health, * seniors' health, * women's health, and * wellness and lifestyle issues. Composed of 27 Institutes and Centers, the NIH provides leadership and financial support to researchers in every state and throughout the world.
