Study Notes

Glycosidic Bonds

Glycosidic Linkage: Formation between carbohydrates and other compounds, involving hydroxyl (OH) groups.
Types of Bonds:
- Hemicetal bond: Formed between an aldehyde and alcohol.
- Acetal bond: Results from the reaction of two alcohols with a hemiacetal.

Glucose Structures

Open Chain Glucose: Linear form with aldehyde (CHO) at one end, and hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to carbon atoms.
Folded Glucose: Exists in cyclic forms such as glucopyranose (six-membered ring) and glucofuranose (five-membered ring).

Types of Carbohydrates

Holoside: Disaccharides such as sucrose formed through acetal bonds.
Heteroside: Composed of an aglycone and a glycone, e.g., in terpene or phenolic glycosides.

Sucrose Composition

Disaccharide Structure: Comprised of glucose and fructose, connected by an acetal bond.

Glycoside Variants

Types of Glycoside Bonds:
- Steroidal nucleus with β-hydroxyl groups at C3 and C14.
- Formation of 5-membered unsaturated lactone rings, characteristic of cardinolides.

Aglycone Derivatives

R Group Substitutions: Changes in R1 and R2 provide different aglycones, influencing pharmacological activity, such as the presence of amino acids.

Strophanthus Seeds

Cardinolides: Extracted from Strophanthus kombi which contains k-strophanthoside affecting heart muscle function.
Health Implications: Commonly used in treating ischemic heart diseases which can lead to myocardial dysfunction.

Additional Structures

Quinones: Notable for having carboxyl (-COOH) groups and a conjugated double bond system, contributing to their reactive nature.
