Abstract: | Deuterated stigmasterols (10, 11 and 12) were chemically synthesized and fed to silk-worm larvae. GC-MS analysis of the metabolites, cholesterol (4) and desmosterol (6), indicates the migration of 25-hydrogen to C-24 position during stigmasterol dealkylation. 22,24(28)-Dienes(8a and 8b) were shown to be converted to 22,24-diene (5), desmosterol and cholesterol. |
