Abstract
An attempt is made to systematize the data from scientific publications, patents and the internet resources concerning triterpene components in the plants of Pinaceae family those could be considered as chemotaxonomic markers and as the active principle of biologically active preparations. Examples are given for the major structural groups of triterpenoids inherent in conifers and data concerning the presence of these compounds in total extractive substances of the plants of different genera of the family. A problem connected with the examination of bioactivity of triterpenoids inherent in coniferous plants is assessed.
