 Cardiac Glycoside  DEF - Cardiac glycosides are a class of organic compounds that increase the output force of the heart and decrease its rate of contractions by inhibiting the cellular sodium-potassium ATPase pump. General structure- The general structure of a cardiac glycoside consists of a  steroid  molecule attached to a sugar ( glycoside ) and an R group. [4]  The steroid nucleus consists of four fused rings to which other functional groups such as  methyl ,  hydroxyl , and  aldehyde  groups can be attached to influence the overall molecule's biological activity. [4]  Cardiac glycosides also vary in the groups attached at either end of the steroid. ð   All glycosides consists of an aglycone which is attached to one or more sugar (glycone) moieties. ð   The Aglycone part have the pharmacological activity → Attached sugar moiety modify the solubility and Permeability. ð   The Aglycone part consist of Cyclopentanope...
