Mixed Bioengineering–Chemical Synthesis Approach for the Efficient Preparation of Δ7-Dafachronic Acid
摘要:
Combining bioengineering with chemical synthesis has enabled an efficient method for producing 6,Delta 7-dafachronic acid, a steroidal hormone associated with nematode germline longevity. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was engineered to produce 7,24-cholestadienol, a convenient starting material for a four-step synthesis of Delta 7-dafachronic acid.
