Study Notes
Cardioactive Glycosides
- Cardioactive glycosides are a type of naturally occurring compound that affects the heart.
- Cardioactive glycosides are isolated in the lab through a process called fractionation.
- Fractionation is the process of separating a mixture into different components, and they can then be analyzed individually.
- The isolation and identification of cardioactive glycosides is a common experiment in pharmacognosy.
- In this experiment, the Fraction A will contain the whole glycoside, and Fraction B will contain only the genin.
- Genin is the non-sugar component of the glycoside.
- The cardioactive glycoside is isolated and identified to understand how it works in the body.
- Cardioactive glycosides have therapeutic properties and are used to treat heart conditions.
