Cycloartenol is an important triterpenoid often found in plants. It belongs to the sterol class of steroids. It is the starting point for the synthesis of almost all plant steroids,[1] making them chemically distinct from the steroids of fungi and animals, which are, instead, produced from lanosterol.
