Abstract
A plant-derived cyclic carbamate, 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone, that stimulates reproductive activity in M. montanus was isolated. This nonestrogenic compound may be a naturally occurring environmental cue affecting reproductive cycles in many mammals.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
