Terpenoides

Muzigadial is a sesquiterpene dialdehyde, which is a type of natural product isolated from the plant Myristica ceylanica. This compound is characterized by its biogenically derived structural complexity that confers an array of bioactive properties. It operates primarily through its interaction with biological membranes and proteins, leading to disruptions in cellular processes and inhibition of microbial growth.

(-)-Perillaldehyde is a naturally occurring organic compound, classified as a monoterpenoid aldehyde. It is primarily found in the essential oils of plants like Perilla frutescens and various citrus species. Its molecular structure consists of a distinctive cyclohexene ring, which contributes to its reactivity and interaction with biological targets.

(-)-Secologanin is a monoterpenoid glycoside, which is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of indole alkaloids, found primarily in plants such as those in the Apocynaceae and Rubiaceae families. It plays a crucial role in the natural production of complex alkaloids, forming the backbone for numerous pharmacologically active compounds, including quinine, camptothecin, and ajmalicine.
