Ecdysteroids are
arthropod steroid hormones that are
mainly responsible for
molting (ecdysis),
development and, to a
lesser extent, reproduction; examples...
- 20-Hydroxyecdysone (ecdysterone or 20E) is a
naturally occurring ecdysteroid hormone which controls the
ecdysis (moulting) and
metamorphosis of arthropods...

molting hormones (ecdysone and its homologues) are
generally called ecdysteroids.
Ecdysteroids act as
moulting hormones of
arthropods but also
occur in other...

Cucurbitacins from
Iberis umbellata (globe candytuft) are
ecdysteroid antagonists,
acting on the
ecdysteroid receptor of insects.

Phytoecdysteroids are plant-derived
ecdysteroids.
Phytoecdysteroids are a
class of
chemicals that
plants synthesize for

Insect ecdysone receptors are
