Compound	Description
lupeol	RN given refers to (3beta)-isomer; structure
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
alpha-amyrin	beta-amyrin is also available; a 5 ring triterpene derived from taraxasterol that differs from beta-amyrin in having the 29-carbon at the 19 position
cycloartenol	found in chlorophyll-containing plants; minor descriptor (76-83); on-line & Index Medicus search PHYTOSTEROLS (76-83); RN given refers to (3beta)-isomer
