Delta(24)/Delta(25)-Derivatives of 20-hydroxyecdysone were hydroborated by sodium borohydride in the presence of CuCl followed by oxidation of organoboron intermediate and deblocking of hydroxyl groups to synthesise the zoo- and phytoecdysteroid inokosterone.

Ponasterone A (25-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone) and 20-hydroxyecdysone were the major ecdysteroids detected in crab hemolymph, although some ecdysone was also present. The metabolism of ponasterone A was examined in intermolt and premolt crabs either by injecting the radiolabeled hormone or by incubating tissues in its presence. Metabolites were extracted from the surrounding seawater and from tissues and separated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Ponasterone A metabolism proceeds through (1) C-25 and C-26 hydroxylation, followed by formation of inactivation products via oxidation of the terminal alcoholic group to a carboxylic residue, (2) conjugation, (3) "binding" to very polar compounds and (4) side-chain scission. The conversion of ponasterone A into 20-hydroxyecdysone, inokosterone (25-deoxy-20, 26-dihydroxyecdysone), 20, 26-dihydroxyecdysone and ecdysonoic acids, as well as the formation of conjugates and of very polar compounds, occurs in various tissues. These metabolites were excreted by both intermolt and premolt crabs.
