Ecdysone is a steroid hormone that plays a crucial role in the molting and metamorphosis of insects. It is synthesized in the prothoracic glands of insects and acts as a signaling molecule, triggering a cascade of events that leads to the shedding of the old exoskeleton and the formation of a new one. Ecdysone also plays a role in the development of other insect tissues, such as the wings and reproductive organs. Due to its essential role in insect development, ecdysone has been extensively studied as a potential target for insect control. Research on ecdysone has focused on understanding its biosynthesis, its mode of action, and its potential as a pesticide. Furthermore, ecdysone has been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in humans, including its anti-inflammatory properties and its potential to treat certain types of cancer. The study of ecdysone is critical for understanding insect biology and for developing novel strategies for insect control and human health.'

Dosage Studied

The study suggests that only the novel wax moth neuropeptide has the ability to trigger egg laying in that insect. Dose-response studies on diapausing pupal glands showed that ecdysone was the most effective activator. Evidence is provided that this dose-response difference is related to whether or not an effective dose of tebufenozide is ingested by the first instar.
