Terpenoids: Higher
نویسندگان
چکیده
Terpenoids (synonymous with isoprenoids or isopentenoids) are a diverse class of natural products that are derived biosynthetically from an intermediate with a simple five-carbon skeleton (isopentane); higher terpenoids are complex structures that possess minimally between 20 and 40 carbon atoms. Higher terpenoids evolved coincidentally with the evolution of life and play multiple functions in nature.

Effect of Cymbopogon Citratus Terpenoids against Bacterial Pathogens Causing Bovine Mastitis
Phytochemical analysis of Cymbopogon citratus revealed presence of bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, phenols, terpenoids etc. Each of the bioactive compounds were estimated and isolated separately by solventsolvent extraction for methanolic and aqueous extracts of Cymbopogon citratus. Saponins content was higher in methanolic extracts of Cymbopogon citratus (...
متن کاملEvaluation of Beer Fermentation with a Novel Yeast Williopsis saturnus.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of a novel yeast Williopsis saturnus var. mrakii NCYC 500 to produce fruity beer. Fermentation performance of W. mrakii and beer volatile composition were compared against that fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Safale US-05. oBrix, sugar and pH differed significantly between the two types of beer. A total of 8 alcohols, 11 acids, 41 ester...
متن کاملVarious Terpenoids Derived from Herbal and Dietary Plants Function as PPAR Modulators and Regulate Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism
Several herbal plants improve medical conditions. Such plants contain many bioactive phytochemicals. Terpenoids (also called "isoprenoids") constitute one of the largest families of natural products accounting for more than 40,000 individual compounds of both primary and secondary metabolisms. In particular, terpenoids are contained in many herbal plants, and several terpenoids have been shown ...
متن کاملElectroantennogram responses of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) to volatiles.
Electrophysiological responses of adult males and females of C. carnea to commonly occurring plant volatiles were recorded using the electroantennogram technique. Responses to 28 volatiles evaluated indicate that both depolarization and recovery to the baseline were rapid in females compared to males. Normalized EAG responses relative to the standard, trans-caryophyllene reveal significant diff...
متن کاملPlant Metabolic Engineering Strategies for the Production of Pharmaceutical Terpenoids
Pharmaceutical terpenoids belong to the most diverse class of natural products. They have significant curative effects on a variety of diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, malaria and Alzheimer's disease. Nowadays, elicitors, including biotic and abiotic elicitors, are often used to activate the pathway of secondary metabolism and enhance the production of target terpenoids. Based...
