Glycosides are compounds in which a sugar group is bonded through its anomeric carbon to another group via a glycosidic bond. Many biologically active compounds are glycosides. Glycosides comprise several important classes of compounds such as hormones, sweeteners, alkaloids, flavonoids, antibiotics, etc. The glycosidic residue can be crucial for their activity or can only improve pharmacokinetic parameters. Glycosides, which exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-infection, anti-cancer and anti-oxidative properties, play numerous important roles in living organisms, such as streptomycin, as an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has anti-infection activity. Anthracyclines possess good antibacterial and anti-cancer activities.

MCE Glycoside Compound Library contains a unique collection of 793 glycoside compounds and is a useful tool to discovery glycoside drugs.

For pre-dissolved solutions, 10 mM for compounds with the solubility not lower than 10 mM, 2 mM for compounds with solubility between 2 mM and 10 mM, and 3 mg/mL for compounds with unconfirmed molecular weight and solubility not lower than 3 mg/mL.
