Common NameEcdysone
DescriptionEcdysone, also known as molting hormone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentahydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives. These are bile acids, alcohols or derivatives bearing five hydroxyl groups. Thus, ecdysone is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. Ecdysone is found in Ajuga reptans, Athyrium yokoscense, Blandfordia punicea, Blechnum minus, Charybdis japonica, Chascolytrum lamarckianum, Chironomus tentans, Gagea serotina, Gomphrena affinis, Limonium peregrinum, Lychnis fulgens, Manduca sexta, Podisus maculiventris, Polypodium virginianum, Polypodium vulgare , Pteridium aquilinum , Rhaponticum carthamoides , Schistocerca gregaria, Serratula coronata, Sida szechuensis, Silene brahuica, Silene chalcedonica, Silene italica, Silene italica ssp.nemaralis, Silene linicola, Silene otites, Taxus cuspidata and Zoanthus sp.. Ecdysone was first documented in 2009 (PMID: 19342482). Ecdysone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 22310011) (PMID: 22828514) (PMID: 23017214) (PMID: 23072462).
