TPCA-1 compound, inhibiting testis-specific serine/threonine protein kinase 3 for potential male sterile in Bombyx mori.

TPCA-1 is an inhibitor of BmTSSK3, which raises its potential as a future candidate for male sterility of the silkworm. Thus, this study may offer a novel strategy for sterile silkworms as well as insects. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
