CompoundDescription
lupeolRN given refers to (3beta)-isomer; structure
2,3-oxidosqualenean 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-amyrinbeta-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
glutinolfrom a medicinal lichen, Usnea longissima; structure in first source
