About the structure and biological function of C15T

What is the structure of Sesquiterpene?

Sesquiterpenes (C15 isoprenoids, C15T) belong to the group of isoprenoids within the prenol lipids category. Their structure is based on a linear chain or rings of three isoprene units, the five-carbon building block of prenol lipids. C15Ts may further encompass double bonds and a variety of substituents.

What is the function of Sesquiterpene?

Sesquiterpenes are primarily found in higher plants, fungi, and invertebrates. The C15T farnesyl-pyrophosphate is a biosynthetic branch point in the biosynthesis of more complex isoprenoids and sterol lipids such as cholesterol. Due to their structural diversity, sesquiterpenes exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Anti- and pro-oxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and antiviral activities are attributed to different C15 isoprenoids.
