Glycosides are a group of organic compounds that yield one or more sugars upon hydrolysis. Structurally, a glycoside is composed of a sugar part, known as the glycone, and a non-sugar part, referred to as the aglycone or genin. These two parts are linked through a glycosidic bond, which typically involves the anomeric carbon of … Read more

Glycosides are organic compounds with a sugar molecule (glycone) bound to a non-sugar component (aglycone or genin) through a glycosidic linkage. The glycosidic linkage involves the sugar moiety’s attachment to the non-sugar moiety’s hydroxyl group. These compounds are widely distributed in nature and can be found in plants, microorganisms, and, to a lesser extent, in … Read more
