Biosynthetic pathways of triterpenoids and strategies to improve their Biosynthetic Efficiency
“Triterpenoids” can be considered natural products derived from the cyclization of squalene, yielding 3-deoxytriterpenes (hydrocarbons) or 3-hydroxytriterpenes. Triterpenoids are metabolites of these two class...
