Defintion
Glycosides are define as organic compound from plants and animal source, which on enzymatic hydrolysis gives one or more sugar moieties along with anon sugar moiety. Sugar moiety is called glycon and non sugar moiety is called aglycon or genin.
Number of medicinal plants containing organic constituents in conjugation with a sugar moiety. They exert therapeutically significant effect on human and animals.Traditionally used in modern medicine because of their cardio tonic, purgative, analgesic, anti-arrhythmic, demulcent action.
Glycosides are the compounds of plant and animal origin which on hydrolysis yields a sugar compound (glycone) and a nonsugar compound (aglycone), having marked physiological actions.Common sugars found in glycosides are glucose, mannose, rhamnose, & digitoxose. The common non- sugar part is alcohol/ phenol/ amine. The activity of glycoside is due to non-sugar part (aglycone). Glycone part plays role in pharmacokinetic properties of the glycoside like, absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion.
\Biological role:
They protect the plant from insects & animals.
They stimulate growth, reproduction & metabolism of the plant.
Glycosides act as a storage of chemicals for many plants.
