Introduction:Basic information about CAS 5289-74-7|Hydroxyecdysone, including its chemical name, molecular formula, synonyms, physicochemical properties, and safety information, etc.
Crustecdysone (20-Hydroxyecdysone) is a naturally occurring ecdysteroid hormone isolated from Cyanotis arachnoides C.B.Clarke which controls the ecdysis (moulting) and metamorphosis of arthropods, it inhibits caspase activity and induces autophagy via the 20E nuclear receptor complex, EcR-USP[1].Crustecdysone exhibits regulatory or protective roles in the cardiovascular system[2].
