terpenoidsoxygenated
Terpenoidsoxygenated, also known as oxygenated terpenoids, are a diverse class of organic compounds derived from isoprenoid units. They are characterized by the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups, such as hydroxyl (-OH), carbonyl (C=O), carboxyl (-COOH), or ether (-O-) linkages, in addition to the basic hydrocarbon skeleton found in terpenes. This incorporation of oxygen significantly alters their chemical properties and biological activities compared to their non-oxygenated counterparts.
These compounds are widely distributed in nature, particularly in plants, where they play crucial roles in
The biosynthesis of terpenoidsoxygenated typically involves the modification of precursor isoprenoids through enzymatic oxidation reactions. These
