20-Hydroxyecdysone is the most widely occurring ecdysteroid in both plant and animal species. It controls cell death during metamorphosis of Drosophila melanogaster.

20-hydroxy Ecdysone is an ecdysteroid hormone produced in arthropod species that induces developmental changes associated with ecdysis and the completion of metamorphosis. It is also produced in plants as a defensive strategy to disrupt the development of insect pests. In target tissues, 20-hydroxy ecdysone binds to the nuclear hormone receptor, ecdysone receptor, initiating a signaling cascade that results in cell cycle arrest.Ecdysteroids such as this compound have been employed as tools in inducible gene regulation systems controlled by reporter cells transfected with the ecdysone receptor.

Beta-Ecdysone is a steroidal prohormone of the major insect molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone, which is secreted from the prothoracic glands. It plays a key role in insect development, cell proliferaton, growth and apoptosis by controlling gene expression involved in moulting and metamorphosis. BetaEcdysone is an Ecdysone receptor (EcR) agonist. It acts through a heterodimeric receptor comprising the ecdysone receptor (EcR) and the ultraspiracle proteins.
