Abstract	The tritium-labeled bis-norleucine analog ofHelicoverpa zea pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide ([3H]NLPBAN) was incubated in vitro with hemolymph fromManduca sexta orH. zea adult females. The incubations resulted in the formation of several tritium-labeled degradation products. At a [3H]NLPBAN concentration of 0.9 μM the degradation proceeded at a very slow but physiologically plausible rate (2–10 fmol/min/μl hemolymph). The primary [3H]NLPBAN degradation reaction inM. sexta hemolymph was not inhibited by 20 μM leupeptin, 0.1 mM amastatin, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM 1,10-phenanthroline, or 2 mM 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride; but secondary reactions may have been affected, as some of the inhibitors changed the radio-HPLC profile of the degradation products. It is concluded that hemolymph ofM. sexta andH. zea contains peptidase(s) capable of inactivating circulating PBAN.
