In chemistry, glycosides are certain molecules in which a sugar part is bound to some other part. Glycosides play numerous important roles in living organisms. Many plants store important chemicals in the form of inactive glycosides, if these chemicals are needed, the glycosides are brought in contact with water and enzymes and sugar part is broken off, making the chemical available for use. Many such plant glycosides are used as medications. in animals (including human beings), poisons are often bound to sugar molecules in order to remove them from body.
The sugar is known as glycone and the non-sugar part is known as aglycones. The glycones can consist of a single sugar group ( monosaccharides) or several sugar groups (oligosaccharides).
Artemisia absinthium linn is very important medicinally. In research work it was planed to analyse the phytochemicals of methanolic extract and different fractions of Artemisia absinthium linn. Also evaluation of antimicrobial activities (antibacterial and antifungal) and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract and different fractions of Artemisia absinthium linn was done.
