Glycosides play numerous important roles in living organisms. Many plants store chemicals in the form of inactive glycosides. These can be activated by enzyme hydrolysis, which causes the sugar part to be broken off, making the chemical available for use. Many such plant glycosides are used as medications. In animals and humans, poisons are often bound to sugar molecules as part of their elimination from the body.A glycoside is a molecule consisting of a sugar and a non-sugar group, called an aglycone. The sugar group is known as the glycone and can consist of a single sugar group or several sugar groups. The sugars is in its cyclic form and is covalently attached to the aglycon through the hydroxyl group of the hemiactal function.
There are many different kinds of aglycones. It can be a terpene, a flavonoid, a coumarin or practically any other natural occurring product (se figure 1)
The glycone can be attached to the aglycon in many different ways. The most common bridging atom is oxygen (O-glycoside), but it can also be sulphur (S-glycoside), nitrogen (N-glycoside) or carbon (C-glycoside). In general, one distinguishes between α-Glycosides and β-glycosides, depending on the configuration of the hemiactal hydroxyl group. The majority of the naturally occurring glycosides are β-glycosidesGenerally glycosides are more polar than the aglycones and as a result glycoside formation usually increases water solubility. This may allow the producing organism to transport and store the glycoside more efficiently
Many biologically active compounds are glycosides. The pharmacological effects are largely determined by the structure of the aglycone.

Pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins are derived from many dicotyledonous plants and contain sapogenins like alpha-amyrin or beta-amyrin. Cardiac glycosides are found in plants like Digitalis and contain steroidal compounds that have effects on the heart by slowing it down and strengthening contractions.
Digitalis purpurea is a biennial herb and the main source of cardiac glycosides. Its dried leaves contain mixtures of cardiac glycosides such as digitoxin and gitoxin. Cardiac glycosides have inotropic effects on the heart and are used to treat congestive heart failure and arrhythmias. Upon chemical testing, digitalis leaves produce characteristic color changes that confirm the presence of cardiac glycosides and digitoxose sugar. The leaves are harvested by hand after flowering and dried quickly to maintain color and potency. Standards require less than 2% foreign matter, 5% moisture loss, and 5% acid-insoluble ash.
This document contains information about various glycosides presented by a group of pharmacy students. It discusses the definition, types based on linking atoms, classification, and details about key glycosides - digitalis, aloe, senna, and glycyrrhiza. For each one, it provides the botanical origin, parts used, constituents, uses, side effects, and other relevant information. The document is intended to educate about important glycoside compounds and plants.
Glycosides are compounds that contain a sugar component (glycone) bonded to a non-sugar component (aglycone). Upon hydrolysis, glycosides break down into these components. Glycosides are widely found in plants and some are used medicinally as laxatives, cardiotonics, or expectorants. Examples discussed include senna, rhubarb, cascara sagrada, and aloe, which contain anthraquinone glycosides that act as stimulant laxatives. Glycyrrhiza (licorice) contains saponin glycosides and is used as a demulcent, expectorant, and tonic.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

3. GLYCOSIDES
DEFINATION:
Glycosides are non-reducing organic compounds, upon
hydrolysis they yield;
1. A sugar ; (or glycone, formed of one or more sugar units)
2. A non-sugar moiety; (also called aglycone or genin)
ROH + HOX ROX + H2O
(sugar) (aglycone) (glycoside)
The sugars which are commonly found in glycosides are glucose,
digitoxose (in digitoxin) and rhamnose.
4. GLYCOSIDES
PROPERTIES:
Chemically glycosides are sugar ethers. In pure,state glycosides
are mostly levorotatory, crystalline, colourless, bitter.They are soluble in
alcohol and water. Insoluble in other organic solvents (pet.ether,
chloroform)
FUNCTIONS:
They play important role in the life of plants involving
regulatory, transportary and protective functions.
HYDROLYSIS:
• They are hydrolyzed by acids, alkalis or enzymes resulting in cleavage
of glycosidic linkage.
• The therapeutic efficacy of glycosides is due to Aglycon.The sugar
helps to carry the aglycone to the site of organ or tissue where action
is required.
5. GLYCOSIDES
NAMING OF GLYCOSIDES:
• Most glycosides may be named according to the plant from which
they are isolated from & include suffix “_in ”:
Aloin from Aloe vera
Barbaloin from Aloe barbadensis
Frangulin from frangula
Glycyrrizin from glycyrrhiza
Digitoxin from digitalis
Cascaroside from cascara
• Depending upon the stereochemistry of glycosidic linkage, there
are two isomeric forms…..α & β. In plants, only the β-form of
glycosides occurs.
6. CLASSIFICATION OF GLYCOSIDES
(on the basis of Glycosidic linkage)
O- Glycosides ; In these glycosides the sugar part is linked with a
Oxygen atom of aglycone. E.g. Digitoxin (cardiac), sennoside
(anthraquinone), Salicin.
S- Glycosides; In these glycosides the sugar part is linked with a
Sulfar atom of thiol group of aglycone. E.g. Sinigrin (Isothiocyanate
glycosides)
N- Glycosides; In these glycosides the sugar part is linked with a
Nitrogen atom of amino group of aglycone. E.g. Snucleosides,DNA,RNA.
C- Glycosides; In these glycosides the sugar part is linked
(condenced) directly to Carbon atom of aglycone. E.g. aloin, Barbaloin,
Cascaroside, flavonoids.
7. CLASSIFICATION OF GLYCOSIDES
(on the basis of aglycone part, chemical classification)
(a) Cardioactive glycosides: Digitalis, Strophanthus and white squill

Cathartics------Senna, Casia, Cascara bark,
aloe.
Cardiotonics----- Strophanthus, Digitalis.
9. CLASSIFICATION OF GLYCOSIDES
(on the basis of sugar uses)
If the sugar is glucose the glycosides are
called….”GLUCOSIDES”
