. Biochemical systematics. Biochemical variation; Botany. TERPENOIDS A rather heterogeneous group of substances is actually included under terpenoids, yet with few exceptions the compounds may be conceived as structural derivatives of the five-carbon compound, isoprene. CH3 CH2=C-CH=CH2 Isoprene Recently, the six-carbon compound, meval- onic acid, has been found to be an important precursor in cholesterol synthesis and is suspected to be involved also in the synthesis of several other classes of isoprenoid compounds such as terpenes^ 231.
