Drug Classes (3)

ClassDescription
cucurbitacinAny one of a class of tetracyclic triterpenoids, formally derived from the triterpene hydrocarbon cucurbitane, developed by some plants (especially those of the family Cucurbitaceaeas) as a defence mechanism against herbivores.
secondary alpha-hydroxy ketoneAn alpha-hydroxy ketone in which the carbonyl group and the hydroxy group are linked by a carbon bearing one hydrogen and one organyl group. Secondary alpha-hydroxy ketones are also known as acyloins, and are formally derived from reductive coupling of two carboxylic acid groups.
tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketoneAn alpha-hydroxy ketone in which the carbonyl group and the hydroxy group are linked by a carbon bearing two organyl groups.
