โฆ Synopsis
Recently a new intermediate in the biosynthesis of squalene has been obtained from farnesyl pyrophosphate as substrate in a yeast homogenate containing minimal amounts of reduced nicotinamide adenine di-'nucleotide (NADP-H) (1). On the basis of a number of experimental results, structure I was suggested for the new substance which was designated as "Compound Xx' and which was shown to be a Cgo-pyrophosphate convertible to squalene (II) in the presence of NADP-H either by yeast homogenate or rat liver microsomes
