Plant glycosides have a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical activities primarily due to the glycosidic residues present in their structure. Especially, the therapeutic glycosides can be classified into many compounds based on the sugar moiety, chains/ saccharide units, glycosidic linkages, and aglycone...
