  • Scientific Description
    A member of the ecdysteroid family. Ecdysone receptor (EcR) agonist. Analog of ecdysone with similar properties to muristerone A. Functional, reliable and economical substitute for muristerone A as an inducer for the ecdysone-inducible mammalian expression system. Induces expression of beta-galactosidase to levels similar to those obtained with muristerone A induction. Potent compound for ecdysteroid activity. Insect steroid hormone involved in regulating metamorphosis. - Chemical. CAS: 13408-56-5. Formula: C27H44O6. MW: 464.6. Semi-synthetic. A member of the ecdysteroid family.
