Triterpenes

Triterpenes consist of six isoprene units and are derived from the molecular formula C30H48.

C30 hydrocarbons are formed by the Association of three monoterpene C10.

Examples:

 Squalene, occured in insaponifiables of oils of Olea europaea fruit, flaxseed, peanut, is an intermediate in the biogenesis of cyclic triterpenes and steroids.

o Derivatives of alpha-Amyrin - (Rosmarinus officinalis, Taraxacum officinalis, Verbascum thapsus)
o Ursolic acid- ( Arctostaphyllus uva-ursi, Berberis vulgaris, Eucalyptus globulus)
o Derivatives of beta-Amyrin :
o Oleanolic acid - (Crataegus monogyna,  Melissa officinalis, Olea europaea)
o 18-β-Glycyrrhetique  acid - (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
o Saponins Genines: hederagenine – (Hedera helis, Medicago sativa)
