α-Ecdysone is a prohormone of 20-hydroxy ecdysone (Item No. <span class=/itemid/>16145</span>), an insect-molting, ecdysteroid hormone. The insect neurohormone, prothoracicotropic hormone, stimulates prothoracic glands to release α-ecdysone, which is then rapidly converted to its active metabolite, 20-hydroxy ecdysone.
