A New Intermediate in the Biosynthesis of Squalene

H. C. Rilling 1

From the 1 From the Department of Biological Chemistry, College of Medicine, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112

A new intermediate in the biosynthesis of squalene has been isolated and partially characterized. This intermediate, which is the product of the condensation of 2 molecules of farnesyl pyrophosphate, is the pyrophosphate ester of a 30-carbon alcohol whose carbon skeleton is believed to differ from that of squalene by the presence of a cyclopropane ring. It is postulated that squalene is formed directly by the reduction and rearrangement of this compound.
