Isolation of a Glycolipid Containing Fucose, Galactose, Glucose, and Glucosamine from Human Cancerous Tissue

Abstract

Isolation of Glycolipidfrom Human Cancerous Tissue Vol.239, No. 10 to the allylic alcohol may precede migration of the double bond, although isomerization of an allylic alcohol to the homoallylic isomer has not yet been effected chemically.In view of the fact that 3/%hydroxyandrost-4-en-l7-one was formed in appreciable amount in the present study, the possibility that it is an intermediate in the conversion of androst&ene-3,17-dione to 3P-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one must be entertained.REFERENCES 1.
