Glycosides

Glycosides

  • Linamarin
    Linamarin is a cyanogenic glucoside found in the leaves and roots of plants such as cassava, lima beans, and flax.
  • Amygdalin
    Amygdalin (from Ancient Greek: ἀμυγδαλή amygdálē "almond"), is a poisonous cyanogenic glycoside found in many plants, but most notably in the seeds (kernels) of apricot, bitter almonds, apple, peach, and plum.
  • Solanine
    Solanine is a glycoalkaloid poison found in species of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), such as the potato (Solanum tuberosum), the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), and the eggplant (Solanum melongena).
  • Lotaustralin
    Lotaustralin is a cyanogenic glucoside found in small amounts in Fabaceae Austral Trefoil (Lotus australis), cassava (Manihot esculenta), lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), roseroot (Rhodiola rosea) and white clover (Trifolium repens), among other plants.
  • Digitonin
    Digitonin is a steroidal saponin (saraponin) obtained from the foxglove plant Digitalis purpurea.
  • Carthamin
    Carthamin is a natural red pigment derived from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), earlier known as carthamine.
  • Sinalbin
    Sinalbin is a glucosinolate found in the seeds of white mustard, Sinapis alba, and in many wild plant species.
  • Arbutin
    Arbutin is a glycoside; a glycosylated hydroquinone extracted from the bearberry plant in the genus Arctostaphylos.
  • Indican
    Indican is a colourless organic compound, soluble in water, naturally occurring in Indigofera plants.
  • Prunasin
    Prunasin is a cyanogenic glucoside related to amygdalin.
  • Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside
    Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) is an antioxidant phytoestrogen present in flax, sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds.
