Descripción

General description

α-Ecdysone is a phytoecdysteroid, synthesized from cholesterol, and one of the major insect molting hormones. Ecdysone is secreted by the ecdysial glands present in insects.

Application

α-Ecdysone has been used:

• to study its effects on Drosophila melanogaster′s sexual maturation
• to study its effects on specification of neurons in Drosphila male-specific neurite
• as a standard to evaluate the ecdysteroid levels by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ecdysone exerts its effects via the ecdysone receptor and regulates larval molting, reproduction, and metamorphosis in insects.
