Known sources for triterpenes are mainly plant surfaces such as stem bark or leaf and fruit waxes [8]. Figure 1. Molecule structures of lupane-, oleanane- and ursane triterpenes investigated here.
Where are Triterpenes found?
Triterpenes occur mainly at plant surfaces, such as fruit peel, stem bark or leaves [24]. They are synthesized in the cytosol from the cyclization of an epoxidized squalene that is the precursor of the diverse group of polycyclic triterpenes [25]. These polycyclic structures can occur as free or conjugated triterpenes.
Which of the following is an example of Triterpenoid?
The most common types are tetracyclic triterpenoids (cucurbitane, dammarane, and lanostane) and pentacyclic triterpenoids (lupine and oleanane) (Fig.
