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
nonsugar component
AGLYCONE/GENIN
sugar component is called?
GLYCONE
The usual linkage between the sugar and the aglycone is an oxygen linkage between the reducing group of a sugar and an alcoholic or phenolic hydroxyl group of the aglycone.
GLYCOSIDES
linkage between the sugar and the aglycone
OXYGEN LINKAGE
the most numerous glycosides ones found in nature.
O-GLYCOSIDES
(S-glycosides)
SULFUR
(N-glycosides)
NITROGEN
(C-glycosides)
CARBON
widely distributed in the plant kingdom
and they play an important role in the regulatory, protective, and sanitary functions of plants.
GLYCOSIDES
Glycosides are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and they play an important role in the ______, _______, and ______ functions of plants.
REGULATORY, PROTECTIVE, SANITARY
Emulsin and other naturally occurring enzymes are
BETA GLYCOSIDES
is the most frequently occurring sugar
and primarily exists in plants
B-GLUCOSE
most frequent occurring glycoside
D-GLUCOSE
( Both alpha- and beta- glycosides are possible but only beta-forms occur in plants.)
Sugar Derivatives:
GLUCURONIC ACID
GALACTURONIC ACID
When sugar formed is glucose, its is term as
GLYCOSIDES
Nomenclature: ending in IN for trivial names
Digitoxin– Digitalis
Salicin– Salix
Prunasin– Prunus
Systematic naming replacing OSE suffix of the parent sugar with OSIDE.
Anoremic prefix (alpha/beta) and the configurational prefix (D/L) immediately precede the sugar stem name, and the chemical name of the aglycone precedes the name of the sugar.
SYSTEM OF NAMING
Sugar component
GLYCONE
If the glycone group of a glycoside is glucose, then the molecule is glucoside. If fructose, then the molecule is fructoside.
GLYCONE
If the glycone group of a glycoside is glucose, then the molecule is ______.
GLUCOSIDE
If the glycone group of a glycoside is fructose, then the molecule is ______.
FRUCTOSIDE
Glycosides are also classified according to the chemical nature of the aglycone. For the purpose of biochemistry and pharmacology, this is the most useful classification
AGLYCONE/GENIN
Glycosides are classified as _______
a-glycosides/ß-glycosides.
