Computer simulation of ecdysone metabolism and of the HPLC analysis of the metabolites

Computer simulation of ecdysone metabolism in insects has been done by the a software called HPLC-Metabolexpert®, that served to generate the metabolic pathways of ecdysone in a retrospective manner. Some of the generated metabolites have already been detected, others are to be confirmed. Lists of the applied metabolic transformations, the predicted metabolites and their HPLC elution times are also given.
