After feeding of 24-epi-castasterone to the cockroach Periplaneta americana an organ- specific epimerization of the brassinosteroid to 2,24-diepi-castasterone could be detected in female insects. The metabolite being observed only in the ovaries and not in the testes of the insect was identified by GC/MS in comparison with a synthesized authentic sample. Con- trary, 24-epi-brassinolide is not metabolized in the sexual organs ofPeriplaneta americana.

This is the first evidence of a metabolic transformation of a brassinosteroid in insects.
