Abstract
15-Aza-25-methylene-D-homocholesta-8,14-dien-3beta-ol, an antimycotic agent, at a concentration of 75 ng/ml inhibited ergosterol biosynthetis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 3701B resulting in the accumulation of an unusual sterol. Experimental data presented indicate that this sterol is ergosta-8,14-dien-3beta-ol. The accumulation of the compound is supportive of current models of biosynthetic pathways for sterols in yeast and is consistent with inhibition by the azasterol of the delta14 sterol reductase.Entities:
