The epoxidation of squalene to (3S)-2,3-epoxysqualene and subsequent cyclization to lanosterol are keys steps in vertebrate cholesterol biosynthesis. Trisnorsqualenealcohol (TNSA) has previously been reported as a potentinhibitor of vertebratesqualeneepoxidase, with IC50 = 4 microM for pig liver (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111, 1508-1510). Analogues with extended and truncated carbon skeletons have
