Terpenes and Terpenoids Terpenes - class of >20,000 compounds containing carbon atoms in multiples of five Terpenoids - oxygen-containing terpenes (alcohols, ketones, aldehydes) ( kereviz)(zencefil) The name "terpene" is derived from the word "turpentine" (terebentin-reçineden elde edilir)turpentine Terpenes and terpenoids are the primary constituents of the essential oils of many types of plants and flowers. Essential oils : bitkilerdeki sellüloz ve nişasta dışındaki çoğu kez uçucu olan belli bir tad/kokuya sahip bileşikler)essential oils rose oil 1

The basic molecular formulae of terpenes are multiples of that, (C 5 H 8 ) n where n is the number of linked isoprene -Isoprene - 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene- units. This is called the isoprene rule or the C5 rule. Compounds containing carbon atoms in multiples of 5 suggest a C 5 building block - isoprene units linked in a “head-to-tail” fashion Ancak unutulmamalıdır ki moleküller büyüyüp halkalaştıkça biyosentezler başkalaşmalara yol açabilirler. Retrosentezlerle başa gidilir. “Head” - branched end of isoprene “Tail” - unbranched end of isoprene 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene 2

Finding the isoprene building block - triterpenes (C 30 ) - Squalene has a natural and vital part in the synthesis of all plant and animal sterols, including cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D in the human bodysterols Finding the isoprene building block - tetraterpenes (C 40 ) Lycopene is responsible for the red color in tomatoes and watermelon  -carotene is the compound that causes carrots and apricots to be orange 4 Lycopene's eleven conjugated double bonds give it its deep red color and are responsible for its antioxidant activity.conjugated double bondsantioxidant

Biosynthesis of Terpenes Biological “isoprene” - isopentenyl pyrophosphate (3-methyl-3-butenylpyrophosphate). Enzimlerle izomerizasyona uğrar. İzomerizasyon ürünü yeni bir isopentenilpirofosfat ile reaksiyonda monoterpen içeren pirofosfat türevi oluşturur. Bu son türev doğal koşullarda ester hidrolizine uğrar ve bir terpenoid olan geraniol ü verir. Aldol cond Enzimle hid. Tioesterden alkole SN2SN2 5

RULE - isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate are the C 5 building blocks for the biosynthesis of terpenes Elimination of a proton from a carbocation intermediate generates a double bond (E1 reaction) Geranyl pyrophosphate - C 10 building block for many biological monoterpenes Geranyl pyrophospate ester hid ile geraniol verir. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate is only one of the necessary reagents for the biosynthesis of terpenes… dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, a C 5 isomer, is also necessary: Add. of H + elimination of a proton 6

Hemiterpenes consist of a single isoprene unit. Isoprene itself is considered the only hemiterpene, but oxygen-containing derivatives are hemiterpenoids such as prenol (found in citrus fruits, cranberry, grapes, raspberry, blackberry, tomato, white bread…) and isovaleric acid (found in in essential oils).prenolisovaleric acidessential oils Monoterpenes consist of two isoprene units and have the molecular formula C 10 H 16. Examples of monoterpenes are: geraniol, limonene and terpineol.geraniollimoneneterpineol Sesquiterpenes consist of three isoprene units and have the molecular formula C 15 H 24. Examples of sesquiterpenes are: humulene, farnesenes, farnesol.humulenefarnesenesfarnesol Prenolisovaleric acid limonene a strong smell of oranges humulene found in the essential oils of Humulus lupulus Humulus lupulus terpineol found in pine oil 7

Sesterterpenes, terpenes having 25 carbons and five isoprene units, are rare relative to the other sizes. An example of a sesterterpene is geranylfarnesol.geranylfarnesol Triterpenes consist of six isoprene units and have the molecular formula C 30 H 48.

Biologically important tetraterpenes include the acyclic lycopene, the monocyclic gamma-carotene, and the bicyclic alpha- and beta-carotenes.lycopenegamma-carotenealpha-beta-carotenes Polyterpenes consist of long chains of many isoprene units.

Examples are cafestol, kahweol, cembrene and taxadiene (precursor of taxol). Diterpenes also form the basis for biologically important compounds such as retinol, retinal, and phytol. They are known to be antimicrobial and antiinflammatory.cafestolkahweolcembrenetaxadienetaxolretinolretinalphytol taxoltaxol used in cancer chemotherapy Pasifik porsuk ağacı kabuklarından Taxadiene Taxadiene from enzymes Retinol Retinol is one of the forms of vitamin Avitamin A 8
