glycosides Flashcards
upon hydrolysis yield one or more sugars in addition to a nonsugar component known as aglycone, and the sugar component is called as glycone.
glycosides
most numerous glycosides found in nature.
O-glycosides
glycosides occur in which the linkage is through Sulfur
S-glycosides
glycosides occur in which the linkage is through Nitrogen
N-glycosides
glycosides occur in which the linkage is through Carbon
C-glycosides
are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and they play an important role in the regulatory, protective, and sanitary functions of plants.
Glycosides
only glycosides that occur in plants
Beta-forms
the most frequently occurring sugar and primarily exists in plants
B-glucose
most frequent occurring glycoside
D-glucose
Also known as Cardiac glycosides
CARDIOACTIVE (STEROIDAL GLYCOSIDES)
Characterized by their highly specific and powerful action on cardiac muscles.
Cardiac glycosides
Increases the force of systolic contractions.
The therapeutic efficiency depends both on the structure of the aglycone and the type and number of sugar units to which it is attached.
Cardiac glycosides
Sugar derivatives of glycosides
Glucuronic acid
Galacturonic acid
Some sugars found in cardiac glycosides
Glucose
Rhamnose
Deoxy sugar
Rare sugars found in cardiac glycosides
Digitalose
Digitoxose
Cyramose
Source of Digitoxin, Digitonin, Digitalin
Digitalis/Foxglove
Source of Convallarin, Convallatoxin, Convallamarin
Lily of the Valley root/Convalla root
Source of Scillain, Scillitoxin
Squill
Source of Strophantin, Strophantic acid
Strophantus
Other sources of cardiac glycosides
Asiatic hydrocotyl
Pandacaqui
Periwinkle
Ouabin
Yellow Bells
Are glycosides in which the aglycones are anthracene derivatives
Anthraquinone glycosides
are Stimulant cathartics or purgatives
Anthraquinone glycosides
Increases the tone of the smooth muscles in the cell wall of the colon and stimulate the secretion of water and electrolytes into the large intestine.
Anthraquinone Glycosides
Habit-forming laxative dependence and loss of normal bowel function.
Anthraquinone Glycosides
Sources of Anthraquinone Glycosides
Frangula
Aloe
Rhubarb
Sacred bark
Senna
Constituents of Anthraquinone Glycosides
Anthraquinones
Anthranols and Anthrones
Oxanthrols
Dianthrones
Alloin-type/C-glycosides
Yield aglycone known as Sapogenin – Steroid/Hiterpenoid
Saponin Glycosides
Plant materials containing saponins have long been used for their
detergent properties
Characterized by forming colloidal solutions in water with foam upon shaking in an aqueous solution.
Saponin Glycosides
Hemolytic properties and when injected into the blood stream are highly toxic, causing the RBC to disintegrate, especially to cold- blooded animals. – fish poisons
Saponin Glycosides
poisonous saponins
Sapotoxins
When taken orally, saponins are
comparatively nontoxic.
TRUE
It is rich in saponins, but it is
widely used as a flavoring of pharmaceuticals and beverages
Sarsaparilla
Sources of Saponin Glycosides
Sarsaparilla
Ginseng
Glycyrrhiza/Licorice root
Other sources of Saponin Glycosides
Senega
Soap Bark
Glycosides yielding hydrocyanic acid as one of the products of hydrolysis.
Cyanophore Glycosides
