α-Ecdysone

Description:

α-Ecdysone, with the CAS number 3604-87-3, is a naturally occurring steroid hormone belonging to the ecdysteroid class, primarily found in insects and some plants. It plays a crucial role in regulating molting and metamorphosis in arthropods. Chemically, α-ecdysone is characterized by its steroid structure, which includes a cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene core, and it features multiple hydroxyl groups that contribute to its biological activity. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and methanol but has limited solubility in water. α-Ecdysone is of significant interest in various fields, including agriculture, where it is explored for its potential as a natural insect growth regulator, and in health and fitness, where it is studied for its anabolic properties. Its biological effects are mediated through specific receptors, influencing gene expression and cellular processes. Overall, α-ecdysone is a vital compound in both ecological and pharmacological contexts.

a-Ecdysone

Controlled Product

CAS: 3604-87-3

a-Ecdysone is a steroidal hormone, which is naturally found in various arthropods and some plant species. It is synthesized from cholesterol and is a key regulator in the molting and metamorphosis processes in insects. The mode of action involves binding to the ecdysone receptor, a type of nuclear receptor, which then forms a complex with another protein complex to regulate the expression of specific target genes. This binding and gene regulation are crucial for initiating and controlling series of developmental processes.
