Abstract

Steryl glycoside is the trivial name of a class of compounds typical of plants in which they appear amongst major components of the cytosol membranes. More correctly, they should be named glycosyl sterols to emphasize their common structure, a β-glycosidic linkage between the hemiacetal carbon of a monosaccharide and the 3′-hydroxyl group of a phytosterol. The 6-hydroxyl group of the sugar moiety may be free or esterified by a fatty acid. We have kept the usual denomination of these compounds, except when chemical accuracy needed an expanded formula. Although steryl glucosides have been described as early as 1913 (Power and Salway), the acylated derivatives of these compounds were identified only in 1964 (Lepage). For a long time the biochemistry and the physiology of steryl glycosides aroused little interest, since they were devoid of pharmacodynamic efficiency upon animals by comparison with other steroids. In recent years a number of reports closed the gap to such an extent that it is now necessary to refer to pertinent reviews for a complete reference coverage (see Grunwald 1975, Mudd and Garcia 1975, Eichenberger 1977).
