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 β-galactosidase to levels similar to those obtained with muristerone A induction.
  • Potent compound for ecdysteroid activity.
  • Insect steroid hormone involved in regulating metamorphosis.
