An Overview of Triterpenoid Biosynthesis in Plants and Structural Depiction of Gymnemasides and Gymnemosides from Gymnema Sylvestere

Plants are rich source of many groups of natural products and one such largest group is consisting of structurally diverse compounds having a skeleton of the 30-carbon precursor oxidosqualene to which glycosyl residues are attached and hence called saponin glycosides. The start point of biosynthesis of triterpenoids pathway is cyclization of the 2,3-oxidosequalene however, the sequalene required here is actually produced as a result of action of squalene synthase which results in head to head condensation of two units of farnesyl pyrophos... view more»
