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.
