alpha-Ecdysone

alpha-Ecdysone is a prohormone of 20-hydroxy ecdysone (Cay-16145), an insect-molting, ecdysteroid hormone. The insect neurohormone, prothoracicotropic hormone, stimulates prothoracic glands to release alpha-ecdysone, which is then rapidly converted to its active metabolite, 20-hydroxy ecdysone.Formal Name: (5beta)-2beta,3beta,14,22R,25-pentahydroxy-cholest-7-en-6-one.
