    25-Azacycloartanol (I), 2-aza-2-dihydrosqualene (II) and Tridemorph (2,6-dimethyl-N-tridecylmorpholine) (III) are potent inhibitors of higher plant sterol biosynthesis. The first two molecules have been designed using rational enzymological concepts. I, II and III were shown to inhibit the S-adenosyl-L-methionine: cycloartenol C-24-methyltransferase, the 2,3-oxidosqualene: beta-amyrin-cyclase and the cycloeucalenol: obtusifoliol isomerase, respectively. Inhibition was demonstrated either in vivo on bramble cell suspensions or in vitro on microsomes from maize seedlings. Each inhibitor has been shown to have a high affinity for its presumed enzymic target and only negligible inhibitory action on the other two enzymes. The applications of these results to further physiological studies are discussed.
