Research Excerpts

Overview

Salicortin is a phenolic glycoside that has been isolated from many plants such as Populus and Salix species. It has been shown to have anti-amnesic and anti-adipogenic effects.

Drug Classes (1)

ClassDescription
glycosideA glycosyl compound resulting from the attachment of a glycosyl group to a non-acyl group RO-, RS-, RSe-, etc. The bond between the glycosyl group and the non-acyl group is called a glycosidic bond. By extension, the terms N-glycosides and C-glycosides are used as class names for glycosylamines and for compounds having a glycosyl group attached to a hydrocarbyl group respectively. These terms are misnomers and should not be used. The preferred terms are glycosylamines and C-glycosyl compounds, respectively.
