The nomenclature of natural products is a specialised part of chemical nomenclature. The term "natural products" has a distinct meaning in "natural product chemistry": it does not usually include carbohydrates, peptides and proteins or nucleic acids, which have their own specific nomenclatures. The three main groups of natural products are alkaloids, steroids, and terpenes and terpenoids, although some natural products (e.g., many antibiotics) fall out side these main classes.
