Δ4-Dafachronic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Δ4‑Dafachronic acid is an endogenous steroid hormone, an agonist of the DAF‑12 nuclear receptor, and a key ligand for the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Δ4‑Dafachronic acid promotes the active escape developmental trajectory in Austrofundulus limnaeus embryos even under diapause‑inducing conditions. Δ4‑Dafachronic acid is suitable for research on the developmental biology.

Biological Activity
Δ4-Dafachronic acid (0.3 mM) is the preferred substrate for the SDENChol_v1_11189 ACS enzyme[2].
Δ4-dafachronic acid (2.3 μM; 3-6 days) promotes molting of Haemonchus contortus L3 to L4 in cell-free in vitro culture[3].

Animal Model:Austrofundulus limnaeus embryos[1]
-
Dosage:25 μM; 50 μM; 75 μM
-
Administration:immersion in embryo media; daily media change
-
Result:Induced ~15% of embryos to follow escape trajectory and ~85% to enter diapause at 25 μM.
Induced ~40% of embryos to follow escape trajectory and ~60% to enter diapause at 50 μM.
Induced ~90% of embryos to follow escape trajectory and ~10% to enter diapause at 75 μM.
Produced escape embryos with developmental rate and pattern indistinguishable from normal escape embryos.
Resulted in delayed development for embryos that entered diapause despite treatment.
