| Description | 2-O-Acetyl-20-hydroxyecdysone is an ecdysone present in insects and terrestrial plants. 2-O-Acetyl-20-hydroxyecdysone inhibits amyloid-β42-induced cytotoxicity and is able to reduce the formation of Aβ oligomers by promoting fibrillogenesis, which converts Aβ oligomers into less toxic fibers. |
