Phenylpropanoids and polyketides (ontology term: CHEMONTID:0000261)

Organic compounds that are synthesized either from the amino acid phenylalanine (phenylpropanoids) or the decarboxylative condensation of malonyl-CoA (polyketides). Phenylpropanoids are aromatic compounds based on the phenylpropane skeleton. Polyketides usually consist of alternating carbonyl and methylene groups (beta-polyketones), biogenetically derived from repeated condensation of acetyl coenzyme A (via malonyl coenzyme A), and usually the compounds derived from them by further condensations."
