摘要
Phytoecdysteroids are a family of about 200 plant steroids related in structure to the invertebrate steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone. Typically, they are C-27 C-28 Or C-29 compounds possessing a 14 alpha -hydroxy-7-en-6-one chromophore: and A/B-cis ring fusion (5 beta -H). In the present review, the distribution, biosynthesis, biological significance and potential applications of phytoccdysteroids are summarised. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
