The synthesis of gentiooligosaccharides of genistein and glycitein using cultured cells of Eucalyptus perriniana as biocatalysts was investigated. The cells of E. perriniana glycosylated genistein and glycitein to give the corresponding 4'-O-b-glucosides,

Spatial separation of the cyanogenic β-glucosidase ZfBGD2 and cyanogenic glucosides in the haemolymph of Zygaena larvae facilitates cyanide release [PDF]
Low molecular weight compounds are typically used by insects and plants for defence against predators. They are often stored as inactive β-glucosides and kept separate from activating β-glucosidases.

Cyanogenesis in Arthropods: From Chemical Warfare to Nuptial Gifts
Chemical defences are key components in insect–plant interactions, as insects continuously learn to overcome plant defence systems by, e.g., detoxification, excretion or sequestration.

Chemical Metabolomics: Chemical Biology Tools for Advanced Metabolism Investigations
The human metabolism has been investigated for several millennia. The metabolome is known for a high complexity due to a large number of different metabolites that are present at different concentrations. Metabolomics has been developed as a field to investigate the entire human metabolome and to elucidate disease development mechanisms.

Helicobacter pylori cholesteryl α-glucosides contribute to its pathogenicity and immune response by natural killer T cells. [PDF]
Approximately 10-15% of individuals infected with Helicobacter pylori will develop ulcer disease (gastric or duodenal ulcer), while most people infected with H. pylori will be asymptomatic.

Metabolic labelling of cholesteryl glucosides in Helicobacter pylori reveals how the uptake of human lipids enhances bacterial virulence. [PDF]
Helicobacter pylori infects approximately half of the human population and is the main cause of various gastric diseases. This pathogen is auxotrophic for cholesterol, which it converts upon uptake to various cholesteryl α-glucoside derivatives ...

In vitro stability and ex vivo absorption of thymol monoglucosides in the porcine gut
Thymol α-D-glucopyranoside (TαG) and thymol β-D-glucopyranoside (TβG) are believed to have different kinetic behaviours in the porcine gut than its parent aglycon thymol.

Anatomy, histochemistry and biochemistry of glucovanillin, oleoresin and mucilage accumulation sites in green mature vanilla pod (Vanilla planifolia; Orchidaceae): A comprehensive and critical reexamination [PDF]
Introduction. Les gousses de vanille vertes matures accumulent du 4-O-(3- méthoxy-benzaldehyde)- -D-glucoside (glucovanilline), qui, par hydrolyse à l'aide une -glucosidase endogène, libère de la vanilline, le composé d'arôme majoritaire de la vanille ...
