N-oxide triterpenes

//Product's// active constituents are (...) N-oxide triterpenes, (etc.)

Je ne trouve qui "triterpènes (de type) N-oxyde" (puis-je faire un "beurk" ici?)

autrement j'hésite sur al façon d'articuler triterpènes et oxyde d'azote.

Merci de votre aide.

j'aurais dû dire "monoxyde d'azote" ou "oxyde nitrique"

This is weird - I am unable to find any references to the phrase "N-oxide triterpenes" as a phrase in English. i.e. nitric oxide?

So, I do wonder about the structure in English of your query...
Note from asker:
This is all I have in terms of context. I didn't find much either. Let's see if anyone else has anything...

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Hi Liz, I'm awarding the points to you because your response was indeed helpful: my clients changed the term to polyhydroxylated triterpenes although they say N-oxide triterpenes is good (but not often used)."
