Iridoids are a type of monoterpenoids in the general form of cyclopentanopyran, found in a wide variety of plants and some animals. They are biosynthetically derived from 8-oxogeranial . [ 1 ] Iridoids are typically found in plants as glycosides , most often bound to glucose .

Aucubin is a monoterpenoid based compound. [6] Aucubin, like all iridoids, has a cyclopentan-[C]-pyran skeleton. [6] Iridoids can consist of ten, nine, or rarely eight carbons in which C11 is more frequently missing than C10. [6]

Iridodial is an iridoid.It is produced from 8-oxogeranial by the enzyme iridoid synthase (IS). [1] Iridodial is one of the substrates for the enzyme iridoid oxidase (IO) which produces 7-deoxyloganetic acid.
Nepetalactone is a name for multiple iridoid analog stereoisomers.Nepetalactones are produced by Nepeta cataria and many other plants belonging to the genus Nepeta, in which they protect these plants from herbivorous insects by functioning as insect repellents.
Iridomyrmecin is a defensive chemical, classified as an iridoid, isolated from ants of the genus Iridomyrmex. [1] It has also evolved into a sex pheromone in wasps such as Leptopilina, [2] with host species using the smell of iridomyrmecin as a way of detecting the presence of the parasitoid wasps. [3]
Loganin is one of the best-known of the iridoid glycosides.It is named for the Loganiaceae, having first been isolated from the seeds of a member of that plant family, namely those of Strychnos nux-vomica.
