Homoside or holoside when the two parts are sugars. i.e. both glycone and aglycone are sugars e.g.;sucrose& starch CH2OH CH2OH O O OH OH O HO CH2OH OH OH SUCROSE CH2OH CH2OH CH2OH O O O OH OH OH O O OH HO OH OH OH Starch Heterosides : When the glycone is sugar and the aglycone is non-sugar Laloab : Balanite aegyptiacu.

It is very characteristic feature of this type of natural products, and give them their physiological and physiochemical properties. It is virtually or generally formed by the condensation or reaction of the OH group of the glycone and that of the aglycone whether the last one is aliphatic or phenolic (OH)`  It look like an ether bond but actually it is an acetal bond which is usually formed after the formation of hemicetal bond, the latter is a characteristic of aldehyde (carbonyl )functional group ; this result in the formation of cyclic sugar which preceded it is involvement in glycoside bond formation.  GLYCOSIDIC BOND (Linkages) OH O-G HO-G OH O-G H H R-CHO + 'R-OH R C O'R +'R-OH R C O"R OH 'R + H2O HEMICETAL BOND ACETAL BOND  CHO - CH2OH H- C - OH O HO - C - H OH C H - C - OH OH H OH H - C - OH OH CH2 - OH F OLDE D GLUCOSE OPE N CHAIN GLUCOSE H5 HEMICETAL BOND H H CH3OH CH2OH O O OH OH HO OH HO CH2OH OH OH GLUCOPYRANOSE GLUCOFORANOSE  Holoside SUCROSE CH2OH CH2OH O O OH OH O HO CH2OH OH OH ACETAL GLUCOSIDE ACETAL BOND CH2OH CH2OH CH2OH O O O OH OH OH O O OH HO OH OH OH ACETAL BOND IN STARCH  Heteroside CH2OH O OH O HO TERPENOID OH ACETAL CH2OH GLYCOSIDE O OH O HO PHENOLIC OH GLUCONE AGLYCONE  Type of Glycoside Bond 1.

Glycone or sugar moiety or part is known to be biosynthesized via sugar metabolic pathways. The aglycone on the other hand, comprises compounds of different biosynthetic origins, therefore, the most important step is the one in which the aglycone and glycone are linked together to form the glycoside.  Available information believed that this reaction takes place in 2 steps and catalysed by the enzyme Glycosyl transferase or glycosidase enzyme. Step I involve activation of the glycone or sugar by UTP. Glycone + UTP glycone – UDP + Pi Step II involve condensation of the active glycone with aglycone. Glycone-UDP + aglycone glycone – aglycone + UDP ` Once the first sugar is linked to the aglycone further sugar can be added using the same mechanism. This reaction can be applied to all type of sugar  STARTING FROM ( CO2+H2O) SHOW HOW WE CAN BIOSYNTHESISED STEROIDAL GLYCOSIDES ???  Example: Biosynthesis of steroidal glycoside CO2 + H2O Photosynthesis Carbohydrate glycolysis glucose Pyruvate UTP glucose-UDP Acetyl CoA steroid glycoside glycosyl transferase MVA steroid IPP cycloartenol GPP SQUALENE (FPP)2  Hydrolysis of Glycosides There are three types of glycoside hydrolysis depending on the hydrolytic reagent : 1-Acid hydrolysis : It is the type of choice for glycoside hydrolysis, Mineral acids, (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulphuric acid) can hydrolyze glycoside bond at room temperature, however, the hydrolysis process can be enhanced by heat : R’- O – R” H+/H2O R’-OH + HO – R” Heat Glycoside glycone aglycone Some organic acids such as, acetic acid, can also hydrolyze glycoside bond.  2-Alkaline hydrolysis : glycoside can also be hydrolyzed in alkaline media but it’s disadvantage is the formation of artifact compounds, and therefore, should be avoided. e.g. lactones' ring in cardiac glycoside can be rapture in alkaline media to give the corresponding acid salt and alcohol  Production of artifact O O O O HCl + glucose HO natural glucose O O O HO C O Na+ NaOH + glucose glucose HO artifact  3-Enzymatic hydrolysis : Certain glycosides are usually hydrolyzed by certain enzymes which is usually found in the same plant but in different cells or tissues and any even such as injury may bring the enzyme in contact with the glycoside and hydrolysis may take place and therefore, crushing of fresh plant material for extraction purpose should be preceded by inhibition of the enzyme using hot alcohol or water. The hydrolysis by the enzyme is very specific and each enzyme can hydrolyze only one glycoside bond or type e.g. enzyme emulsin which is found in the bitter almond seed. Myrosinase enzyme found in black mustard seed  Total and Partial hydrolysis : In glycoside having more than one sugar, acid hydrolysis result in complete separation of the glycone from the aglycone and at the same time separate the monosaccharide from each other. This is known as total hydrolysis Partial hydrolysis involve stepwise separation of the monosaccharide using specific enzyme. This type of hydrolysis is very useful in the study of sugar sequence.  CH 2OH O TOTAL HYDROLYSIS OH CH 2OH O OH PARTIAL HYDROLYSIS OH STEP CH 2OH PARTIAL HYDROLYSIS WISE O OH PARTIAL HYDROLYSIS PARTIAL OH HYDROLYSIS HO OH  General Properties of Glycosides : * Solubility : Glycosides are fairly soluble in H2O but more soluble in aqueous alcohol.

Despite the narrow margin of safety )‫ (هامش السالمة‬and the emergence of new synthetic drug possessing similar pharmacological activity on the heart, the cardiac glycoside remain the drug of choice in the treatment of cardiac insufficiency or heart failure.  SUMMARY steroidal compounds naturally occurring plant kingdom highly specific powerful action cardiac muscles. –  well defined and homogenous group structural and pharmacological occurs as glycosides narrow margin of safety emergence of new synthetic drug drug of choice cardiac insufficiency or heart failure.  Distribution : Cardiac glycoside have specifically limited distribution in nature and only scattered in a dozen of families the most known are : 1. Scrophularaiceae: which include digitalis leaves 2. Apocynaceae : which include strophanthus seed. 3. Liliaceae : which include squill bulb.  Among Sudanese medicinal plants which is known to contain cardiac glycoside is Scelopiadiaceae (calatropis) )‫(العُشر‬. These compounds are also found exceptionally in some animals e.g. toad skin???.  General Chemical Properties : The cardio-tonic activity is essentially linked with the aglycone, however, the presence of sugar is very important to modify the polarity and hence the solubility to assist absorption, transportation and distribution in the target organ. The common chemical feature of the aglycone include 1.The presence of steroidal nucleus (C17 ring structure). R 17 C D 14 A B 3 HO P erhydro 1,2,C yclopentano phenonthrene ring structure 2. The presence of OH group at C3 (2˚ alcohol), and OH group at C14 (3˚ alcohol) 3. Unsaturated lactones ring at C17. 4. Ring fusion (configuration) should be : A/B cis B/C trans C/D cis There are 2 types of unsaturated lactone rings : 1. 5 membered unsaturated lactones ring O O 2. 6 membered unsaturated lactones ring O O And therefore, there are 2 types of cardiac glycoside (according to the substitution of R at C17) 5 membered ring cardinolide 6 membered ring bufadienolide For optimum cardio tonic activity the above requirements 1, 2, 3, and 4 should be satisfied or fulfilled  Structural variation : O O O O R2 CH3 CH3 12 R1 CH 11 3 CH3 1 10 OH OH HO 5 HO SCILLARENIN A Structural variations in cardiac glycosides are rather limited and consist of additional oxygenated functional group at C1, C5, C11, C12 these are mainly hydroxide (OH) groups.The methyl group at C10 is sometimes oxygenated in the form of aldehyde or alcohol.  In general the addition of any oxygenated functional group will affect the polarity and hence solubility, transportation and distribution and this in turn will affect the potency of the biological activity. The effect of additional oxygenated functional group on the steroidal nucleus is always positive, and the positive effect rise with the increase of oxygenated functional groups.  Sugar Moiety : Glucose is the common sugar in cardiac glycoside, however, the majority of sugar in cardiac glycosides are deoxygenated sugar. The sugar moiety is usually linked with the OH at C3.  CH2OH CH3 CH3 O O O OH OH OH HO OH HO OH HO OH OH GLUCOSE OH RHMNOSE DIGITOXOSE  CH3 O CH3 HO OH O O-COCH 3 ACETYL DIGITOXOSE HO OH CH3 OH O OH DIGITOXOSE HO OCH3 CYMAROSE  Physiochemical Properties : In general cardiac glycosides are fairly soluble in H2O, slightly soluble in absolute alcohol and chloroform and highly soluble in aqueous alcohol. After hydrolysis the cardiogenin (aglycone) is soluble in organic solvents and the sugar is soluble in water. The presence of lactones ring render the molecule labile and likely to open in alkaline media.  Assignment Write brief report on cardiac glycosides containing plants including : – 1.

The left ventricle no longer functions as an adequate pump to maintain normal cardiac output (normal ejection fractions). This may be due to: 1- disease of the heart muscle, ischemic heart disease which leads to myocardial infarctions affecting left ventricular function. 2- chronic long term untreated hypertension. 3- bacterial endocarditic..etc. Therapeutic effects Use of cardiac glycosides in therapeutic stem from the ability of this compounds to increase the force of systolic contraction ( positive isotropic effect) and increasing contractility of the failing heart results in a more complete emptying of the ventricle and shorting in the late systole. Thus the heart has more time to rest between contraction. In addition, the improved circulation tend to improve the performance of the renal system which relief the oedema often associated with congestive heart failure  Saponin Glycosides : Introduction : Definition General properties Distribution Classification of saponins Steroidal saponin glycoside Biosynthesis of Steroidal saponin glycoside Potentiality of steroidal saponin Synthesis of steroidal drug from diosgenin glycoside  Steroidal saponin containing drugs Nitrogenous analogue of steroidal sapogenin Triterpenoid saponin glycosides ❖ - Introduction ❖- General chemical properties ❖- Some Important sapogenin in triterpenoid saponin ❖- Triterpenoid saponin containing drugs. ❖-Monodesmosidic and bidesmosidic saponin ❖Biological importance of saponin glycoside  Saponin Glycosides Definition : These are organic natural products of complex nature, widely distributed in higher plant, but can also be produced by lower organism and some animal e.g. fish saponins. They are mostly terpenoid in nature of triterpenoid class and therefore, polycyclic structure.  General properties : 1.Their aqueous extract produce persistent foam on shaking. 2. Form colloidal solution in water 3. Irritant to mucous membrane. 4. Possess bitter taste. 5. Destroy red blood cells in a process called haemolysis and they are specially very toxic to cold blooded animal e.g. fish and snails. 6. Very toxic intravenously (I.V) but non-toxic orally. Why?. 7. Reduce the surface tension of water and therefore, useful as emulsifying agent, How?. 8. Can combine with the cholesterol of the cell membranes and therefore, produce general toxicity, How?. 9. On hydrolysis, saponin give an aglycone known as sapogenins. 10. They are mostly amorphous and difficult to separate as crystalline products, however, their acetyl derivatives can produce very nice crystals.  Distribution : They are widely distributed in higher plants and characterize some plant families e.g. 1. Liliaceae. 2. Dioscoreaceae. 3. Leguminosae. 4. Balanitacace. 5. Taccaceae. 6. Phytollacaceae. 7.

The parent compound is phenol, however, most of these compounds occur as polyphenols e.g. OH OH OH O OH Quercetin OH OH Phenolic glycosides are characteristic of plant tissues, however, some of them occur in animal tissues. The presence of phenolic compound in any specimen may determine the origin of that specimen More than 8000 compounds have been isolated and chemically characterized, flavonoid constitute the largest groups, other groups also occur in large number such as : - Xanthins - Tannins - Anthraquinones - Lignins.  Phenol can exist in different forms : - Monomeric phenols, - Dimeric phenols - Polymeric phenols, phenolic polymers. The last one is the usual form in plant tissues e.g. - Melanin pigment (black pigment) - Lignin The lignin form with cellulose the wood tissues : Lignin + Cellulose wood tissues. -  OH OH HO O OH OH OH O SIMPLE PHENOL FLAVONOL QUERCETIN OH HO COOH O [ NH2 TYROSIN Tetrahydrocannabinol  LEGNIN UNIT OH HO OH HO HO OH OH O HO OH O O MELANIN UNIT OH O O OH  General Properties 1.

Over 450 structures have been known although they are widely distributed in plant kingdom and exhibited great structural variation, they make a relatively small contribution to plant colour, since they are mostly found in tissue such as root and bark. They are characterized by the quinone group For identification and detection purposes quinones can be divided into 4 groups according to quinone nucleus : – Naphthaquinones are involve in cellular respiration. – Ubiquinones or co-enzyme Q, are found in almost all organisms and function as electron carrier in electron transport chain in mitochondria. – Plastoquinones play an important role in photosynthesis process as electron carrier in electron transport chain in green plants. – The most important group of quinones is the Anthraquinones which are cited in all pharmacopoeias as laxative compounds.  O O 1.BENZOQUINONES O O p-BENZOQUINONES p-BENZOQUINONES RED PIGMENTS YELLOW PIGMENTS O O OH 2.

This process convert skin into leather and known as tanning ‫ الدباغة‬and hence the term tannins. In case of living tissues the process known as stringent Occurrence of Tannins : In vascular plant tannins usually occur in woody parts of the stem, however, they are found in some unripe fruits e.g. dates, ficus, which disappear completely in ripe fruits, thus some scientist believe that tannins are used as a source of energy for ripening process General Properties : 1. Amorphous, none crystalline compounds. 2. Form colloidal solutions in water with stringent taste and acid reaction. 3. Form precipitate with protein and gelatin solution. 4. Give coloured solution with FeCl3 ranging from blue to reddish to black. 5. Give red colour with potassium ferricyanide and ammonia (KFe(CN)4 + NH3) 6. Give precipitate with solution of heavy metals e.g., Cu, Zn, and Pb. 7. Give yellow colour with potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and chromic acid solution. The precipitated protein is resistant to protolytic enzyme, such reaction when take place in living tissues known as stringent, and form the basic of therapeutic application of tannin.  Uses : 1. The property of protein precipitation have been utilized in : i. protection of tissues from digestive enzyme. ii. Protection of exposed tissues e.g.in injuries and burns from infection (N.B. : The precipitated protein form a protective layer under which the new tissues can be regenerated.) 2. Used as stringent for GIT e.g. in diarrhea HOW ?? 3. Production of leather. Different tannin compounds produce different type of leather both in colour and touch or texture. 4. Colour with FeCl3 is used for production of inks. 5. Used as reagent or detector in medical laboratories for the detection of protein and gelatin in various body fluids e.g. urine and plasma. 6. Used as antidote for alkaloid over dose and poisoning. HOW ??  General Chemical Properties : 1. Complex chemical structure. 2. Polyphenolic structure. 3.

They are virtually universal plants, pigments responsible for the color of flowers, fruits and sometimes leaves. The common color is the yellow and the terms flavonoids itself come from the latin word flavus which means yellow. Flavones Aurones Yellow Chalcones Red Anthocyanins Blue Purple When they are not directly visible, they contribute to color by acting as co-pigment, e.g. colorless flavone and flavonols co-pigment protect anthocyanin In some cases the molecule absorb near UV radiation which is only perceived by insect eyes and function to ensure pollination and hence, play a role in plant species conservation. Flavonoids are also ubiquitous in the leaf cutile and epidermal cell they ensure tissue protection against the damaging effects of UV radiation. Chemically, flavonoids are characterized by common basic skeleton Flavone 2-phenyl-4-chromone. O CC C O Flavone 2-phenyl-4-chromone General Biosynthesis : Flavonoids are classified as compound of mixed biosynthetic origin, thus both shikimic acid and acetate malonate pathway contribute in their formation.

However, they are highly distributed in higher plants. Pro-antho-cyanins are remarkably ubiquitous in Gymnosperms, while the majority of flavonoids are found in Angiosperms, the common flavonoid families include : Polygonaceae, Leguminosae, Rutaceae and Compositae. Free flavonoids, aglycone are usually concentrated in the leaf cuticle while the glycoside form are water-soluble and accumulate in vacuoles of the epidermis or mesophyll.  Flavonoids Glycoside : 2' 3' OH 1' HO 8 O 4' 7 1 6' OH 2 5' 3 6 4 5 OH OH O  Sugar moiety can be mono, di or polysaccharide, homogeneous or heterogeneous, in straight chain or branched. All (OH) group can involve in glycoside bond, however, usually at C7 (flavonoids) or C3 (flavonols)  Recently some flavonoid esters have been detected with fatty acids such as malonic acid, acetic acid or tiglic acid and sometimes with aromatic acid or phenolic acid such as benzoic acid and gallic acid. Beside the normal O-glycoside, C-glycoside are also common among flavonoids e.g. vitexin, Some S-glycoside have also been detected.  Classification of Flavonoids : Chemistry of flavonoids are so diverse and subject to a lot of modification more than 20000 compounds have been detected so far comprises about 400 different structures, recently it has been grouped into 10 classes (see structure). `  1' O B A C O  OH OH OH OH HO O HO O Dihydrochalcone OH O Flavonone OH O Flavones OH OH HO OH HO O O OH OH OH O Aurones OH O Chalcone Dihydroflavonols OH + HO O OH O OH OH O Anthocyanine O iso-Flavonoid OH OH HO O HO O OH OH OH OH O Flavan3,4-diols  OH HO OH OH O Dihydrochalcone (colourless) On the other hand chemical studies showed that this diversely focused on the oxidation level of ring C and based on this, it has been summerized into 4 groups.

They are of great important in plant species conservation by attracting insects and birds for the process of pollination and seed dispersal.  Biological Importants of flavonoids : 1. There is strong believe that flavonoids play a very important roles for the plants and animals. However, the mechanism and details of this role still unknown, but some of them can be summarized as follow : 2. Growth regulations. 3. Enzyme inhibition. 4. Species conversation (pollination and seed dispersal) 5. Photo-protective against toxic UV radiation (act as filter) 6. Chemo-protctive (used in insecticides and pesticides formulae). 7. Fish poison and molluscicides.  Therapeutic uses : Veno-activity : Flavonoids are essentially used to treat capillary and venous disorders (They decrease capillary permeability and fragility) it can be used alone or in combination with other ingredients of vascular protective agents and venous tonics. Like other phenolic compounds, it is recommended as antioxidant : however, these two therapeutic uses of flavonoid still ambiguous, require more investigations and research. Name the following structure  Cyanogenitic glycosides : These are a group of oganic natural product and mainly plant derived compounds characterized by liberation of hydrocyanic acid on hydrolysis and thus of great important as natural toxicants e.g. Amygdalin a constituent of Prunus amygdalus var amara, Family Rosacease (bitter almond ‫ )اللوز المر‬and other prunus species e.g. Apricot ‫المشمش‬, peaches ‫الخوخ‬, cherries ‫ الكرز‬and plums ‫البرقوق‬.  The hydrocyanic acid is released when the plant is crushed and the glycosidase enzymes{ usually found in the same tissues but in different cells} are brought into contact with glycosides, however, the kernel of the sweat almonds Prunus amygdalus var, dulcis containing the enzyme but did not produce HCN since it contain no cyanogentic glycoside : Amygdalin (1◦ ) β-glycosidase Prunasin (2◦) β-glycosidase Mandelonitrile (aglycone) Enzyme Benzaldehyde + HCN (toxic)  C N O CH2OH beta-glycoside O OH Glucose HO HO Prunasin (2˚( beta-glycoside Amygdalin C N CHO + Enzyme HCN C H2O OH Benzaldehyde Mandelonitrile Cyanogenic glycoside are biosynthesized from a range of amino acids depending on the plant spcies.
