Preferred Label : terpenoids;
IUPAC definition : Natural products and related compounds formally derived from isoprene units (see isoprenoids).
They contain oxygen in various functional groups. This class is subdivided according
to the number of carbon atoms in the same manner as are terpenes. The skeleton of
terpenoids may differ from strict additivity of isoprene units by the loss or shift
of a fragment, generally a methyl group.;
