Serratenediol is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid.[3] The compound has drawn interest for its distinctive carbon framework and potential biological activities. Serratenediol is characterized by a rare seven‑membered C-ring, a defining feature of the serratene class of triterpenoids[4], which differentiates it from the more common lupane, oleanane, or ursane types.[5] The compound is also called pinusenediol.[6]
The compound is found primarily in plants of the Lycopodiaceae family, especially in the genus Lycopodium (now often segregated into genera like Huperzia and Phlegmariurus).[7][8][9]
