Biosynthesis of bufadienolides in toads. III-Experiments with [2-14C]mevalonic acid, [20-14C]3β-hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one and [20-14C]cholesterol

The biosynthesis of bufadienolides in Bufo paracnemis toads has been studied in different seasons of the year using [2-14C]mevalonic acid, [20-14C]pregnenolone, and [20-14C]cholesterol as precursors. The results showed that the doubly unsaturated δ-lactone ring of the bufadieno-lides is directly der...
