IUPAC 名称
4,8,12,15,15-pentamethyltricyclo[9.3.1.0³,⁸]pentadeca-4,11-diene
描述
Taxa-4,11-diene belongs to taxanes and derivatives class of compounds. Those are diterpenoids with a structure based either on the taxane skeleton, or a derivative thereof. In term of phytochemistry, several derivatives of the taxane skeleton exist: 2(3->20)-abeotaxane, 3,11-cyclotaxane, 11(15->1),11(10->9)-abeotaxane, 3,8-seco-taxane, and 11(15->1)-abeotaxane, among others. More complex skeletons have been found recently, which include the taxane-derived [3.3.3] propellane ring system. Taxa-4,11-diene can be found in a number of food items such as peach, tronchuda cabbage, european cranberry, and arrowroot, which makes taxa-4,11-diene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Enzymatically, taxadiene is produced from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate by taxadiene synthase. A biochemical gram-scale production of taxadiene has been reported in 2010 using genetically engineered Escherichia coli .
