(3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene ⟶ baruol
(S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene
(S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene, also known as 2,3-oxidosqualene or (S)-squalene-2,3-epoxide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triterpenoids. These are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Thus, (S)-2,3-epoxysqualene is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of terpenoid. It is a substrate for squalene monooxygenase and lanosterol synthase. (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of Terpenoid. It is a substrate for Squalene monooxygenase and Lanosterol synthase. [HMDB]. (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene is found in many foods, some of which are new zealand spinach, lime, cassava, and cloves.
baruol
A tetracyclic triterpenoid that is chrysene which has been fully hydrogenated except for a double bond between the 12 and 12a positions and which is substituted by methyl groups at positions 1, 1, 4b, 6a, 8 and 10a positions, and by a 4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl group at position 8 (the 2S,4aS,4bR,6aS,8R,10aR,10bS-diastereoisomer). It has been isolated from the root bark of the Panamanian tree Maytenus blepharodes.
