Isolation of 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone and 3-epi-2-deoxyecdysone from eggs of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, during embryogenesis

Abstract

2-Deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone and 3-epi-2-deoxyecdysone have been isolated from developing eggs of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, and their structures determined.
