A maximum of five deuterium atoms was incorporated into the 24β-ethylsterols, 22-dihydro-25-dehydrochondrillasterol and 22-dihydrochondrillasterol, in tissue cultures of trichisanthes kirilowii incubated with L-methionine.The results proved that a 24-ethylidene intermediate is not involved in the biosynthesis of 24β-ethylsterols in T.kirilowii.
