General Description

29-methylidene-2,3-oxidosqualene is a chemical compound that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of steroids and triterpenoids. It is an important intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of cholesterol, a vital component of cell membranes and a precursor to steroid hormones. 29-methylidene-2,3-oxidosqualene is also involved in the synthesis of other biologically active molecules, including brassinosteroids and oxidosqualene-derived triterpenoids with diverse functions in plants. 29-methylidene-2,3-oxidosqualene is produced in organisms such as plants and fungi through a series of enzymatic reactions from squalene, and it can serve as a starting point for the formation of a wide variety of bioactive compounds with important physiological and pharmacological properties.

Potency and inactivation rates of analogues of an irreversible inhibitor of vertebrate oxidosqualene cyclase

Truncated, 22(23)-dihydro, and fluorinated analogues of (3S)-29-methylidene-2,3-oxidosqualene (29-MOS) were prepared and inhibitory potencies and rates of inactivation of rat oxidosqualene cyclase were measured. Rapid mechanism-based enzyme inactivation was observed for both methylidene and difluoromethylidene analogues with complete pro-side chains, but not for truncated analogues.
