Medically Useful Plant Terpenoids: Biosynthesis, Occurrence, and Mechanism of Action

Medically Useful Plant Terpenoids: Biosynthesis, Occurrence, and Mechanism of Action

Specialized plant terpenoids have found fortuitous uses in medicine due to their evolutionary and biochemical selection for biological activity in animals. However, these highly functionalized natural products are produced through complex biosynthetic pathways for which we have a complete understand...
