Abstract
A novel ecdysteroid, for which the name bombycosterol is proposed, has been isolated from the ovaries of the silkworm Bombyx mori and its structure was determined as (20S)-Cholesta-7,14-diene-3β,5α,6α,20,25-pentaol (1) by spectroscopic means and 1H n.m.r. comparison with a reference compound (3).Keywords
