“…The identification of the dideoxypetrosynols, petrotetrynols (30H, 30R-U, 30W), petrotriyndiol (30V), and the homologous and epimeric petrocortynes (30D-G, 30J, 30M, 30O, 30Q) greatly expanded the number of observed alcohol configurations, chain lengths, and levels of desaturation (Fig. 34) [327,[336][337][338], suggesting that this class of metabolites may be assembled from available unsaturated fatty acid or PK precursors and subjected to environmentally controlled or subspecies-dependent hydroxylation. It was proposed by Shin that hydroxide attack on the C-21 or C-27 alkenes followed by hydride abstraction was the origin of petrocortynes E-H (30I, 30L, 30N, 30P) [327].…”
