| 24,25-epoxycholesterol | Rn given refers to (3alpha,5beta)-isomer; structure given in first source |
| 4-hydroxycholesterol | |
| 5-diphosphomevalonic acid | RN given refers to ion(1-) |
| 7-dehydrocholesterol | RN given refers to (3beta)-isomer; structure; main provitamin in skin that is converted by sunlight to cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) |
| desmosterol | An intermediate in the synthesis of cholesterol. |
| 24-dehydroprovitamin D3 | |
| 24,25-dihydrolanosterol | |
| 4,4-dimethylcholesta-8,14,24-trienol | a meiosis activating sterol; RN given refers to (5alpha,3beta)-isomer |

| farnesyl pyrophosphate | a sesquiterpene that dimerizes to SQUALENE; RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| geranyl pyrophosphate | RN given refers to (E)-isomer |
| 2,3-oxidosqualene | an oxidized derivative of SQUALENE that can fold in several ways: chair-boat-chair-boat to LANOSTEROL; chair-chair-chair-boat to dammarane; or all chair to hopane and on to cycloartenol; RN given refers to (all-Z)-isomer |
| cholesta-7,24-dien-3-ol | minor metabolite of in vitro incubation of mevalonic acid with yeast; structure; RN given refers to (3beta,5alpha)-isomer; RN for cpd without isomeric designation not avail 10/89 |
| 4-methylcholest-8-en-3-ol, (3beta,4alpha,5alpha)-isomer | |
| lathosterol | RN given refers to (3beta,5alpha)-isomer |
| cholest-5-en-3 beta,7 alpha-diol | substrate for hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; RN given refers to (3beta,7alpha)-isomer |

| 32-hydroxylanosterol | found in mevalonate-treated cell cultures |
| lanosterol | A triterpene that derives from the chair-boat-chair-boat folding of 2,3-oxidosqualene. It is metabolized to CHOLESTEROL and CUCURBITACINS. |
| mevalonic acid | A dihydroxy monocarboxylic acid and precursor in the biosynthetic pathway known as the mevalonate pathway, which produces terpenes and steroids that are vital for diverse cellular functions. |
| phosphomevalonate | |
| acetyl coenzyme a | Acetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent. |
| palmitoleic acid | factor capable of converting CaATPase into MgATPase; RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| 3,3-dimethylallyl pyrophosphate | isomeric with isopentenyl pyrophosphate |
| 25-hydroxycholesterol | |
| 7-ketocholesterol | inhibits uptake of cholesterol in rabbit aorta |
