2,3-Oxidosqualene
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
2,3-Oxidosqualene (Squalene oxide) is a sterol biosynthesis precursor intermediate.2,3-Oxidosqualene participates in cyclization pathways that form sterols and triterpenes, and contributes to introduction of their characteristic 3-hydroxyl group.2,3-Oxidosqualene forms metabolically from squalene in rat liver homogenates under sterol synthesis conditions.2,3-Oxidosqualene converts to sterols including cholesterol, lathosterol, and lanost-8-en-3β-ol in rat liver homogenates under anaerobic conditions.

Biological Activity
2,3-oxidosqualene (30 min; aerobic/anaerobic conditions) is synthesized from squalene in rat liver homogenates, and is efficiently converted to sterols (40% overall conversion under aerobic conditions, 80% per single enantiomer) with greater anaerobic conversion efficiency than squalene, confirming it as an intermediate in rat liver sterol biosynthesis[1].
2,3-oxidosqualene (anaerobic conditions) is converted by rat liver homogenates primarily to lanost-8-en-3β-ol, which can be further converted to cholesterol and cholest-7-en-3β-ol under aerobic conditions[1].
