Three isomeric C(19) monoolefins with the carbon skeleton of pristane (2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane) have been isolated from mixed zooplankton of the Gulf of Maine and from liver oils of various marine fishes and mammals. The structures have been elucidated. Zamene (norphytene), the terminal olefin, is a minor component of the mixture. The usage of the older trivial name "zamene" should be restricted to the total mixture of marine C(19) monoolefins with the pristane skeleton. Conventional chemical nomenclature should be used for individual isomers.
三种具有姥鲛烷（2,6,10,14-四甲基十五烷）碳骨架的同分异构 C(19)单烯烃已从缅因湾混合浮游动物和各种海洋鱼类和哺乳动物的肝油中分离出来。其结构已被阐明。末端烯烃扎门烯（norphytene）是混合物中的次要成分。应将旧的通俗名称“扎门烯”仅限于具有姥鲛烷骨架的海洋 C(19)单烯烃的混合物。对于单个异构体，应使用传统的化学命名法。
