Complexes of substances with glucose. The general name for such complexes with other sugars is glycosides.
A plant compound containing a glucose and another substance, the bioactive part. A special-case glycoside.
A glycoside that on hydrolysis yields a sugar, glucose, and one or two additional products. Glucosides are numerous and widely distributed in plants. Many glucosides have medicinal properties (e.g., digitalin, present in digitalis, the purple foxglove used for centuries to treat dysrhythmia and heart failure).
