This series of lectures was delivered at the 29th meeting of the Phytochemical Society of North America, held at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, B. C. , Canada on June 16th-20th, 1989. Topics concerning terpenoids, consisting of isoprene units, are now so numerous that a judicious selection for a relatively limited symposium was difficult. We were able to assemble, however, a potpourri of reviews on topical areas of terpenoid chemistry, biochemistry and biology, by scientists who are making exciting contributions and whose work points the way to significant future research. Because of the importance of terpenoids in the life of plants, and indeed in all living organisms, a periodical review of the mevalonic acid pathway and of the subsequent biochemical events leading to the biosynthesis of isoprenoids needs no justification. Life, as we know it, would not be possible without the ability of living organisms to employ this metabolic sequence which proceeds from condensations of three molecules of acetyl-CoA and terminates with the elaboration of the terpenoid precursors, isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. In addition to producing obviously essential compounds that are partially or completely of isoprenoid origin (Fig. 1), such as hormones, photosynthetic pigments, compounds involved in electron transport in respiration and in photosynthesis, oxidative enzymes and membrane components, plants elaborate thousands of novel terpenoids, many of which do not as yet have identifiable physiological, biochemical or even ecological roles, e. g. the cardenolides, ecdysones or saponins.

Recent Advances in Phytochemistry, Volume 6: Terpenoids: Structure, Biogenesis, and Distribution covers the advances in the chemistry and biochemistry of terpenoids, and the use of information regarding the occurrence of such compounds in genetics and population ecology. The book discusses the applications of physical methods to some structural and stereochemical problems in terpenes and steroids; novel sesquiterpenes isolated in composites; and the chemistry and biogenesis of the quassinoids (Simaroubolides). The text then describes the recent developments in the biosynthesis of plant triterpenes; the mechanisms of indole alkaloid biosynthesis, recognition of intermediacy and sequence by short-term incubation; and the biochemistry and physiology of lower terpenoids. The genetic and biosynthetic relationships of monoterpenes; and the confirmation of a clinal pattern of chemical differentiation in Juniperus virginiana from terpenoid data obtained in successive years are also encompassed. Botanists, biochemists, and people involved in the study of phytochemistry will find the book invaluable.

The plant terpenoids exhibit enormous structural and functional diversity. They are involved in regulating plant growth, acting as accessory pigments in photosynthesis, and attracting animals to plants for pollination purposes. This is the most up-to-date work on the subject, authored by a panel of distinguished international experts. It reviews the chemistry, chemistry, chemotaxonomy, biochemistry, biosynthesis, physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology of plant terpenoids. The work will interest plant and ecological biochemists, and plant scientists.

In contrast to books on specific bioactive compounds, this book deals with the role of mevalonic acid metabolites (isoprenoids and their derived structures) in metabolism, development, and functions of organisms, which, though diverse, show various levels of communication. Different disciplines are brought together in a discussion of the messenger functions of terpenoids within and between organisms belonging to five biological kingdoms: bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, and vertebrates (including humans). The present volume covers evolutionary aspects of terpenoids in plant physiology, plant-insect relationships, semiochemicals, and in life sciences, with special emphasis on cancer research and treatment. The book provides proposals for multidisciplinary model systems for the study of interrelationships of organisms utilizing terpenoid messengers, and discusses novel strategies for insect control and multifactor treatments of cancer utilizing terpenoids. This book is of interest to scientists, and students at an advanced level: biologists, plant breeders, pharmacologists, specialists in medical fields, especially oncologists, physicians in general, and anyone with a basic biochemical and physiological knowledge.

Terpenes belong to the diverse class of chemical constituents isolated from materials found in nature (plants, fungi, insects, marine organisms, plant pathogens, animals and endophytes). These metabolites have simple to complex structures derived from Isopentyl diphosphate (IPP), dimethyl allyl diphosphate (DMAPP), mevalonate and deoxyxylulose biosynthetic pathways. Terpenes play a very important role in human health and have significant biological activities (anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiallergic, skin permeation enhancer, anti-diabetic, immunomodulatory, anti-insecticidal). This book gives an overview and highlights recent research in the phytochemical and biological understanding of terpenes and terpenoid and explains the most essential functions of these kinds of secondary metabolites isolated from natural sources.
