The occurrence of a new brassinosteroid of (22S,24R)-3 beta,22-dihydroxy-5 alpha-ergostan-6-one, named cathasterone, was demonstrated by a GC-MS analysis in cultured cells of Catharanthus roseus, Its endogenous level was in the range of 2-4ng/g fw, similar to those of brassinolide and castasterone, A feeding experiment with a deuterium-labeled substrate revealed that cathasterone was converted to teasterone and typhasterol, This is the first report of the natural occurrence of cathasterone as a brassinosteroid being the biosynthetic precursor of teasterone.
