R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently an alkylene group having 1-5 carbon atoms; E.sub.1 is a bond, an alkylene group having 1-3 carbon atoms, or a cyclic carbonyl group, ether group, or ester group having 2-5 carbon atoms; R.sub.3 is a substituted or unsubstituted linear or cyclic carbonate group, carbonyl group, ether group, phosphate group, sulfonate group, or sulfate group having 2-5 carbon atoms; the substitution refers to substitution with one or more selected from F, Cl, Br, and I or an alkenyl group having 1-3 carbon atoms; E.sub.2 is a bond or a saturated or unsaturated alkylene group or ether group having 1-3 carbon atoms; and n is 0 or 1.

A device, system, and method of controlling pests are disclosed. A pest control device includes a sensor having a sensor cell and a controller. A surface of the sensor cell is coated with an agent that reacts with a targeted biochemical analyte secreted by pests. The controller is coupled to the sensor and is configured to receive sensor data from the sensor cell indicative of a rate of change in sensor mass detected on the surface of the sensor cell, determine whether the rate of change in the sensor mass based on the received sensor data exceeds a predefined threshold rate, and transmit a pest detection alert notification to a server in response to a determination that the rate of change exceeds the predetermined threshold rate.

This disclosure relates to uridine diphosphate (UDP) derivatives, compositions comprising therapeutically effective amounts of those UDP derivatives and methods of using those derivatives or compositions in treating disorders that are responsive to ligands, such as agonists, of P.sub.2Y.sub.6 receptor, e.g., neuronal disorders, including neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease) and traumatic CNS injury, as well as pain.
