Luffariellolide is a terpene compound obtained from the marine sponge Hyrtios communis. It is an inhibitor of human synoviocyte protein phospholipase A2 (HSF-PLA2) and a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist. Luffariellolide inhibits hypoxia (1% O2)-induced HIF-1 activation and inhibits cell growth.

Cajucarinolide is a clerodane diterpene. It inhibits bee venom phospholipase A2 in vitro. Cajucarinolide possesses anti-inflammatory activity.

Fluvalinate is a synthetic chemical compound and can be commonly used to control varroa mites in honey bee colonies.

Hexyl decanoate, the first trail pheromone compound identified in a stingless bee, Trigona recursa. Hexyl decanoate is dominant component of gland secretions.

τ-Fluvalinate is a pyrethroid acaricide.1It induces tail currents in Western honeybee (A. mellifera) voltage-gated sodium channels (AmNav1) expressed inXenopusoocytes (EC50= 60 nM). It also induces tail currents in honeybee parasitic Varroa mite (V. destructor) Nav1 channels (VdNav1) expressed inXenopusoocytes (EC50= 160 nM) with a faster tail current decay than that of AmNav1 channels. Topical application of τ-fluvalinate (2 μl) in combination with coumaphos , atrazine , 2,4-DMPF, chlorpyrifos , and chlorothalonil does not affect honeybee queen mass, egg-laying patterns, or the mass of daughter worker bees at emergence.2Formulations containing τ-fluvalinate have been used to control Varroa mites in beehives. 1.Gosselin-Badaroudine, P., and Chahine, M.Biophysical characterization of the Varroa destructor NaV1 sodium channel and its affinity for τ-fluvalinate insecticideFASEB J.31(7)3066-3071(2017) 2.McAfee, A.Honey bee queen health is unaffected by contact exposure to pesticides commonly found in beeswaxSci.

(9Z)-Tricosene is a pheromone released by insects, including D. melanogaster, M. domestica (house fly), and A. mellifera L. (honey bee). In Drosophila, it induces aggregation behavior and is an oviposition guidance cue for females. Due to its aggregation-inducing activity, it is used as a bait pesticide to attract insects to traps. The mechanism of action in Drosophila is the activation of antennal basiconic Or7a receptors. It is also highly produced by honey bees during the waggle dance, which is a complex communication process used to alert nest-mates of the location and profitability of a food source. When injected into a hive, (9Z)-tricosene induced foraging behavior.

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) species are a common class of phospholipids that comprise the mammalian cell membrane. 1,2-Dioctanoyl PC is a synthetic analog of natural phosphatidylcholine species containing saturated C8:O fatty acids in the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbone. It exhibits a critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of 0.25 mM at 27°C. 1,2-Dioctanoyl PC serves as an efficient substrate for phospholipase D (PLD) as well as sPLA2 isozymes from bovine pancreas and bee venom.

Thioester analogs of glycerophospholipids, in combination with Ellman's reagent, are convenient colorimetric substrates for the measurement of phospholipase (PL) activity. Palmitoyl thio-PC is a chromogenic PLA2 substrate that contains a palmitoyl thioester at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. Hydrolysis of the thioester by PLA2 yields a free thiol that reacts readily with DTNB (Ellman's reagent) giving a bright yellow product with an absorbance maximum at 412 nm. Palmitoyl thio-PC has been used to measure bee venom sPLA2 activity in a phospholipid:Triton X-100 mixed micelle system.

Cecropin A (1-7)-Melittin A (2-9) is an antimicrobial peptide with broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, as well as antimalarial properties, without the adverse hemolytic effects commonly associated with bee venom peptides [1].
