The given factors can initiate inflammatory reactions may be acute or chronic in many vital organs of the body and causing cellular damage. This damage in-turn gives rise to pathways of inflammatory signals associated with mediators of inflammation. Inflammation associated diseases are rapidly growing worldwide. The treatment use to suppress inflammatory reactions in the body is also linked with serious adverse effects. In the current decade use of phytochemicals is increased heavily across the globe being advantageous of lesser side effects and better potential in reducing inflammatory reactions. Phytochemicals are not essential nutrients required for sustaining life, but they possess significant properties that help prevent or fight certain common diseases. Terpenoids are a vast and structurally diverse group of natural secondary metabolites found in plants, derived from isoprene units (C-5), and linked to a variety of biological properties such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer. The present review highlights the pharmacological aspects of terpenoids with reference to suppression of inflammation. The work also emphasizes on role of terpenoids at molecular level to reduce the signalling pathways of inflammation with certain examples. In addition, future perspective on the use of terpenoids as therapeutic agents is also overviewed.</p>

	abstract = {<p class="rtejustify">The naturally produced plant-derived compounds, known as phytochemicals, are biologically effective and incorporated to reduce the risk of numerous human illnesses. The utilization of phytochemicals for traditional medicine or functional nutrition has likely existed for as long as human history itself. Plants may gather phytochemicals in a variety of sections, including the roots, seeds as well as leaves and fruits. Among all the phytochemicals class, terpenoids are renowned for its proven biological activities and found in enormous capacity in medicinal plants. Several studies report the use of terpenoids in a wide range of diseases and infections. Different classes of terpenoids showed a variety of biological activities in chronic disorders and autoimmune diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis and cancer. These classes of compounds are also used against cancer and infectious diseases. In the present study we mainly highlight the use of terpenoids in different diseases and its availability in nature as different class. The role of terpenoids in developing new medications and enhancing current treatment methods is significant. However, thorough and detailed research is still warranted to entirely recognize the pharmacological effects of several terpenoids.</p>
