| | Definition | ChEBI: An ecdysteroid that is ecdysone substituted by a hydroxy group at position 20. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | 20-Hydroxyecdysone is an ecdysteroid hormone that plays a key role in insect development, cell proliferaton, growth and apoptosis by controlling gene expression involved in molting and metamorphosis. It acts through a heterodimeric receptor comprising the ecdysone receptor and the ultraspiracle proteins (USP). | | Purification Methods | Crystallise -ecdyson from water, tetrahydrofuran/pet ether, MeOH and EtOAc after chromatographic purification. It has max (EtOH) at 240nm ( 12,670 M-1cm-1). [Also IR & NMR: Hüppi & Siddall J Am Chem Soc 89 6799 1967, Kametani et al. Tetrahedron Lett 21 4855 1980, Beilstein 8 IV 343.] |
