In the present study the effect of 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.0 µL/mL of the steroid K-canrenoate was evaluated in the third instar larvae of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ) Bg9 for 6, 24, and 48 hours of duration. The treatment of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 µL/mL of K-canrenoate did not induce the activity of hsp70 significantly compared to the control. The treatments of 0.8 and 1.0 µL/mL of K-canrenoate not only caused tissue damage but also induced a significant increase in the expression of hsp70 for the different durations of exposure. The results of the present study suggest that the K-canrenoate at 0.8 and 1.0 µL/mL is cytotoxic and caused tissue damage in the third instar larvae of transgenic D. melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ) Bg9.
