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.
Glycosides comprise several important classes of compounds such as hormones, sweeteners, alkaloids, flavonoids and antibiotics

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Cardiac glycosides
• Plant glycosides with specific action on heart
• Historical use:
– to assasinate people, arrow poisons
• Historical sources:
– South American toad skins, African plant extracts
• Modern use:
– to treat congestive heart failure (dropsy)
– aglycone structure important for activity
3. Sources
• Scrophulariaceae
• Digitalis purpurea leaves (foxglove)
• Digitalis lanata leaves – white flowers
• Apocyanaceae
• Strophanthus vine seeds – Africa
• Liliceae
• Urginea bulbs (squill) – Europe, India
• Convallaria leaves (lily of the valley)
– also produces a volatile oil perfume
4. Active compounds
• steroid nucleus
• AB cis-junction
• CD cis-junction
– not planar
• C14 = 3y -OH
• C3 = 2y –OH
– sugars attached
• C17 = lactone ring
– classified into 2 groups
Cardenolides
more common
opens in alkali
Bufanolides
5. • sugars:
– 1-4 β-linked at C3 in various combinations
– glucose, rhamnose, deoxy-sugars
• eg digitoxose, digitalose
Strophanidiol
Strophanthus
Scillarenin
(squill)
6. Extraction
• large molecular weight molecules with sugars -> polar
– soluble in water and alcohol
• expensive – long process, solvents
7. Digitalis
• Scrophulariaceae family
– foxglove - biennial flowering plants
• cases of poisoning rare
• natural emetic if eaten in excess
– Digitalis purpurea leaf – purple, British
• -> Digitalis Tablets B.P.
• -> Tincture of Digitalis B.P.
• commercially grown Holland, E. Europe
• NB no extraction for these products
– Digitalis lanata leaf – white,
Mediterranean
• used for manufacture of pure glycosides
• ie digoxin, lanatoside C
• commericially produced Holland, Equador,
USA
8. Chemistry of D.lanata
• compounds belong to
cardenolide series
– 5 membered lactone ring
– approx 96 compounds
• [1930-1950 Stroll
worked on structures]
R1 R2 Names 1y 2y
H H digitoxigenin A A digitoxin
H OH gitoxigenin B B gitoxin
OH H digoxigenin C C digoxin
OH OH diginatigenin D D diginatin
H formylester gitaloxigenin E E gitaloxin
*
* Acetyl group
confers crystalline
properties - makes
compounds more
easily isolated
9. [i] Digitoxose
• sugar found on primary glycosides of D.lanata
• glucose on the end of a chain of O-linked digitoxose sugars at C3
• during harvesting and drying enzymes can remove acetyl groups and the
end glucose
– hence drying method needs to be followed or glycosides degrade further
– after collection dried as rapidly as possible at 60oC, stored in airtight containers
protected from light (contain no more than 6% moisture)
• expect about 10 compounds from D.lanata
– important ones:
• Digoxin “Lanoxin” – Wellcome – 0.25 μg white tablet
• Digitoxin “Digitalin” 0.25 μg small pink tablet
• Lanatoside “Cedilanid” 0.10 μg – less well absorbed but used for rapid digitalisation
• Others not marketed, used experimentally
11. Chemistry of D.purpurea
• Steroid cardenolides
– contains 30 glycosides, 6 main ones
– only has 3 aglycones
• Purpurea 1y glycosides
– do NOT have acetylated digitoxose third sugar
• but these are found in smaller quantities
– called ABE series
Aglycones 1y 2y
digitoxigenin A digitoxin
gitoxigenin B gitoxin
gitaloxigenin E gitaloxin
12. [ii] Digitalose
• found in both species
• only strospeside important as emergency injection for heart attacks –
quickest acting cardiac glycoside
13. Assay of Digitalis B.P.
• required to contain not less than 0.3% total
cardenolides calculated as digitoxin
• important to guarantee reproducibility of
products (drug dosage)
• narrow therapeutic index
• can cause cardiac arrest
• slowly excreted, bound to serum proteins
• long term therapy for patients
• patients tend to be older, weak
14. • Digitalis B.P. tablets
– crushed dried leaves -> green tablet
– contain 30 glycosides each with different
onset, action and excretion profiles
– in different amounts
• influenced by growing conditions
• (temp, water, sun, drying process)
– assay for each glycoside as accurately as
possible – dilute effects by adding grass
• Two ways:
15. [1] Biological assay
• British method - inaccurate but safer
• Tincture of extract of leaves or tablets
• diluted with saline so alcohol <6%v/v
• guinea pigs (6 test, 6 control) x 3 =36
– expensive but can average results
• measure volume injected into vein of leg/foot before
heart stops beating
• monitor heart rate via ECG
– or open chest wall and watch inserted needle with flag on move
– Better to watch ECG – have to differentiate from death from too
large an injected volume
• trained staff required, can calculate potency
• assay acceptable within 80-120% error margin (not that
accurate)
16. • Disadvantages
– inaccurate, expensive
– injecting material IV (avoiding absorption,
excretion)
– end point is death
– toxicity test not therapeutic assessment
• Advantages
– assessing some biological activity
– safety mechanism
17. [2] Chemical assay
• Problem: 30 different glycosides – can measure them
accurately but may not correlate with therapeutic activity
of drug
• Make a tincture (with alcohol)
• decolourise with lead subacetate
• extract glycosides by partition with CHCl3
• evaporate to give residue (containing cardiac glycosides)
• hydrolyse with HCl to remove sugars leaving aglycone
– residue contains gitoxigenin and digitoxigenin (AB series)
– gitaloxigenin -> gitoxigenin when acid hydrolysed
18. • Colourimetric assay to separately determine material amounts
(i) total aglycone
• purple colour with dinitrobenzoic acid and alkali
(ii) digitoxigenin only
• green colour with FeCl3 + acetic acid
– can substract answers to work out
• Digitoxigenin (A series) content
• Gitoxigenin (B series) content
• Advantages:
– precise method (reproducible 2%, standard error 5%)
– unqualified staff, quicker
• Disadvantages:
– doesn’t correlate with biological activity
– only estimating approx 60% therapeutic material
• BOTH methods used in industry
19. Flavonoids
• mainly O-linked glycosides
• occur in plants, lichens, moss
• those in free state and glycosides largest
naturally occurring group of phenols
• aromatic, based on γ-pyrone moiety
• can get several forms of flavonoids depending
on nuclei
flavone isoflavone flavonol
20. • often yellow (flavus Latin – yellow)
• known for a long time
• interest in them for
– anti-inflammatory (and analgesic) properties
– anti-allergic effects
– antithrombotic, vasoprotective properties
• decrease capillary fragility
• phlebitis – changes in vessel walls in extremities
-> plasma leakage -> oedema
– mainly due to high oestrogen, sometimes in males
– tumour inhibition promotion
– protective for gastric mucosa
21. • sugars:
– glucose, rhamnose, arabinose, xylose
– 2-3 attached to phenolic groups in middle of
structures
22. Examples
(a) Rutin (Vitamin P)
– from Fagopyrum esculentum
(buckwheat)
= rhamnoglucoside of quercetin
(b) Hesperidin (‘citrin’)
– from citrus industry
= hesperetin (methyl eriodictyol),
rhamnose, glucose
23. Isolation
• easy
• water and alcohol soluble
• give brightly coloured
solutions
• crystallise easily
• may give colour reactions
eg
– MgCl2 -> violet -> orange
– alkali KOH -> orange
• easy to detect
24. Coumarins
– aromatics based on α-pyrone
– widely distributed in plants
• Leguminosae
• Rubiaceae
• Umbelliferae
• Solanaceae
– first medicinal compounds from
clover
• certain types toxic to animals in
summer
• anticoagulant activity found
• dicoumarols produced clinically
