Terpenoids, also known as isoprenoids, are a large and diverse class of organic chemicals that are produced by a variety of plants, particularly conifers. They are derived from five-carbon isoprene units and are often classified based on the number of these units they contain. Terpenoids play crucial roles in plant physiology, including serving as phytohormones, acting as agents of plant defense, and attracting pollinators.
The basic building block of terpenoids is isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene), and they are classified into different groups
Terpenoids are known for their diverse biological activities and have been used in traditional medicine for
The biosynthesis of terpenoids involves the condensation of isoprene units, which are derived from either the
