The terpenoids are a large group of secondary metabolites which display many activities in the CNS, such as sedative, ansiolytic, antinociceptive, anticonvulsant, pro-convulsant and hallucinogenic. In this work we performed a research on terpenoids that exert effects on the CNS, focusing molecules and neurotransmitter systems related to their actions. The substances approached were classified as mono, sesqui, di, tri and meroterpenoids and include isolated compounds and plants which exert activities mainly on GABAergic, glutamatergic, dopaminergic and opioid neurotransmitter systems.
