A diverse class of chemical molecules produced primarily by plants. Although over 50,000 isoprenoids are known, only a small fraction have been exploited for pharmaceutical and industrial purposes. Taxol (derived from the yew tree) and artemisinin (derived from the wormwood tree) are examples of isoprenoids.
