- Terpenoids, also known as isoprenoids, are the most numerous and structurally diverse natural products found in many plants. Terpenoids are divided into monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, sesterpenes, and triterpenes depending on its carbon units. Several studies, in vitro, preclinical, and clinical have confirmed that this class of compounds displays a wide array of very important pharmacological properties in the fight against cancer, malaria, inflammation, and a variety of infectious diseases. Naturally occurring terpenoids provide new opportunities to discover new drugs with minimum side effects.
- MCE designs a unique collection of 318 terpenoid compounds that all come from natural products. MCE Terpenoids Library is a useful tool for drug discovery that can be used for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS).
