Description

Muristerone A CAS NO 38778-30-2 is a synthetic ecdysteroid analog, a potent agonist of the insect molting hormone receptor. This compound is a critical research tool for studying insect endocrinology, growth regulation, and the development of novel insect growth regulators (IGRs). It is primarily utilized by academic researchers and agrochemical R&D teams engaged in entomological studies and the discovery of next-generation, species-specific pest control agents.

Application

• Insect Physiology Research: Fundamental studies on molting, metamorphosis, and reproduction in model insect species.
• Agrochemical Screening: Used as a reference standard and active agent in bioassays to evaluate and develop new insect growth regulators.
• Mode of Action Studies: Investigating the interaction with ecdysone receptors (EcR) to understand resistance mechanisms and receptor specificity.
• Biochemical Pathway Analysis: Probing the hormonal signaling pathways that control insect development and gene expression.
• Comparative Endocrinology: Research into the effects of ecdysteroids across different arthropod classes.
