摘要: Abstract The intermediate, discovered by Rilling, between farnesyl pyrophosphate and squalene was synthesized in milligram quantities with yeast subcellular particles from farnesyl-14C-pyrophosphate farnesyl-1-3H2-14C-pyrophosphate. 3H:14C ratio the new precursor found to be identical that pyrophosphate, whereas close expected value of 0.75 relative either or precursor. is optically active gives a normal optical (dextro) rotatory dispersion curve. From nuclear magnetic resonance mass spectrometric studies, chemical degradation, it concluded this cyclic pyrophosphoryl ester squalene-10,11-glycol. metabolism yields, addition precursor, free farnesol, some nerolidol, farnesene, also monophosphate (phosphodiester) latter not converted into liver microsomes NADPH. synthesis could shown. In absence NADPH, quantitatively phosphodiester squalene-10,11-glycol, which thought arise enzymic hydrolysis A method for preparation crystalline purification described.
