The structural similarities between the putative mammalian chemosignals and the pheromones identified previously in the insect world are quite striking. The farnesenes [257, 258] (entries 66, 67) and 2-heptanone [259] (entry 68) have been implicated previously as insect pheromones. There is only one double bond distinguishing the male mouse pheromone 3,4-dehydro-exo-brevicomin (entry 65) from a bark beetle pheromone [260], brevicomin. In addition, the elephant pheromone (Z)-7-dodecen-l-yl acetate (entry 69) is also known to be an insect pheromone [259]. While the potency may not compare to the insect system, investigators are beginning to find evidence that many mammals ranging from pigs to elephants can have a pheromone-type response to a sniff of secretions even humans appear to respond [261],...
