Biomedical Importance
Most abundant dietary source of energy. Brain cells
and RBCs are almost wholly dependent on
carbohydrates as the energy source.
Also serve as storage form of energy –Glycogen.
Carbohydrates are precursors for many organic
compounds (fats, amino acids).
Participate in the structure of cell membrane &
cellular functions (cell growth, adhesion and
fertilization).
Certain carbohydrate derivatives are used as
drugs, like cardiac glycosides / antibiotics.

Stereoisomer
Same chemical and structural formula but
differ in spatial configuration.
![Page 19: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Asymmetric carbon atom
Asymmetric carbon means that four different groups are attached to the same carbon.
The reference molecule is glyceraldehyde which has a single asymmetric carbon atom.
The number of possible stereoisomer depends on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms by the formula 2
nwhere n is
the number of asymmetric carbon atoms.
![Page 21: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Reference Carbon Atom of
Sugars
All monosaccharide can be considered as molecules
derived from glyceraldehyde by successive addition of
carbon atoms. Therefore, penultimate carbon atom is the
reference carbon atom for naming the mirror images
![Page 22: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
D and L isomerism(Enantiomers)
• D-sugars are naturally occurring sugars and
body can metabolize only D-sugars.
• D-glucose is dextrorotatory. In clinical practice,
it is often called as dextrose
![Page 23: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Optical isomerism(d and l)
The presence of asymmetrical carbon atom causes optical activity. When a beam of plane-polarized light is passed through a solution of carbohydrates, it will rotate the light either to right or to left.
Right = dextrorotatory (+) (d)
Left = levorotatory (-) (l)
D-glucose is dextrorotatory but D-fructose is levorotatory
Equimolecular mixture of optical isomers has no net rotation (racemic mixture)
![Page 24: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Epimers
When sugars are different from one
another, only in configuration with
regard to a single carbon atom,
other than the reference carbon
atom, they are called Epimers.
![Page 25: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The 1st carbon, aldehyde group is
condensed with the hydroxyl group of the
5th carbon to form a ring. Ring structure
represents hemi acetal form.
Glucose exists in biological systems not
as a rectangle, but as a pyranose ring.
b-D-glucopyranose is the predominant
form (63%).
![Page 30: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
D-glucose has two anomers, alpha and
beta varieties.
These anomers are produced by the
spatial configuration with reference to the
first carbon atom in aldoses and second
carbon atom in ketoses.
These carbon atoms are known as
anomeric carbon atoms.
![Page 31: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Mutarotation
When D glucose is crystallized at
room temperature, and a fresh
solution is prepared, its specific
rotation of polarized light is +112o;
but after 12–18 hours it changes
to +52.5o.
This change in rotation with time
is called mutarotation.
![Page 34: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

DISACCHARIDES
Sucrose
Maltose
Isomaltose
Lactose.
![Page 37: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sucrose
• It is the sweetening agent known as cane
sugar.
• It is present in sugarcane and various fruits.
![Page 38: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Hydrolysis of sucrose (optical rotation +66.5°) will produce one molecule of glucose (+52.5°) and one molecule of fructose (–92°).
Therefore, the products will change the dextrorotation to levorotation, or the plane of rotation is inverted.
Equimolecular mixture of glucose and fructose thus formed is called invert sugar.
The enzyme producing hydrolysis of sucrose is called sucrase or invertase.
Honey contains invert sugar.
Invert sugar is sweeter than sucrose.

REACTIONS OF CARBOHYDRATE
![Page 45: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Benedict’s test
![Page 46: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Principle
The principle of Benedict's test is that
when reducing sugars are heated in the
presence of an alkali(pH 10.6), they get
converted to powerful reducing
compounds known as enediols.
Enediols reduce the cupric ions (Cu2+)
present in the Benedict's reagent to
cuprous ions (Cu+) which get precipitated
as insoluble red copper oxide.
![Page 47: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
![Page 48: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Detect the presence of glucose in urine
(glucosuria).
It is a standard laboratory test employed
for follow-up of diabetes mellitus in PHC.
Benedict's reagent contains sodium
carbonate, copper sulfate and sodium
citrate
Any sugar with free aldehyde/keto group
will reduce the Benedict's reagent.
Therefore, this is not specific for glucose.
![Page 49: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Carbohydrates giving positive
Benedict ’ s test:
Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
Lactose, Maltose
Sucrose ???????
Starches do not react or react very poorly
with Benedict's reagent, due to the
relatively small number of reducing sugar
moieties, which occur only at the ends of
carbohydrate chains.
![Page 50: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Non-Carbohydrates giving
positive Benedict ’ s test High concentration of Uric acid and
Ketones
Homogentisic acid (solution turns black
due to black colored oxidized
homogentisic acid)
Vitamin C (even without Boiling)
Certain drugs like aspirin, cephalosporins
![Page 51: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Glucose oxidase test
Glucose + O2
Gluconolactone + H2O2
H2O2 + (reduced colourless dye)
(Oxidized colored dye)
Glucose Oxidase
Peroxidase
![Page 53: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Reagents for this test are present on a strip
of paper in solid form.
When the paper is wet with urine, the
reagents dissolve in urine on paper and
react with glucose in urine.
The darkness of color can be correlated
with amount of glucose present in urine.
Because Glucose oxidase enzyme can act
only on beta-D Glucose, other reducing
substances do not give this test positive.
![Page 54: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Thus, compounds like Vitamin C,
Aspirin utilize H2O2 produced in the
reaction.
Due to lack of H2O2, Peroxidase can
not oxidize dye. Thus, glucose may
not be detected even if present, if
urine contain Vitamin C or Aspirin in
large amount. This phenomenon is
called false negative result.
![Page 55: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Osazone Formation
All reducing sugars will form
osazones with excess of phenyl
hydrazine when kept at boiling
temperature.
Glucose, Galactose and Fructose will
produce the same needle-shaped
crystals. Why?
![Page 57: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Molisch’s test
All carbohydrates when treated with conc.
sulphuric acid undergo dehydration to
give fufural compounds. These
compounds condense with Alpha-napthol
to form colored compounds.
Molish test is given by sugars with at
least five carbons because it involves
furfural derivatives, which are five carbon
compounds.
![Page 59: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Fehling’s test
Same principle as benedicts test
Fehling’s A contains 7% copper
sulphate and Fehling’s B contains
sodium potassium tartarate.
![Page 61: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Barfoed’s test
This test is based on the same principle as
Benedict’s test.
But, the test medium is acidic.
In acidic medium (pH 4.6)
monosaccharides react faster than
disaccharide.
Barfoed’s reagent contains copper acetate
in glacial acetic acid.
![Page 62: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

Seliwanoff’s test
Seliwanoff’s test is a chemical test
which distinguishes between aldose
and ketose sugars.
Ketohexoses like fructose on
treatment with HCl form 5-
hydroxymethylfurfural, which on
condensation with resorcinol gives a
cherry red complex.
![Page 64: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Oxidation
The glucuronic acid is used by the body for
conjugation with insoluble molecules to make them
soluble in water for detoxification purpose and also
for synthesis of heteropolysaccharides.
![Page 66: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Reduction to Form Alcohols
When treated with reducing agents
hydrogen can reduce sugars. Aldose yields
corresponding alcohol.
Glucose is reduced to sorbitol
mannose to mannitol
fructose becomes sorbitol and mannitol
Galactose is reduced to dulcitol and
ribose to ribitol.
![Page 67: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Significance of reduction
Sorbitol, mannitol and dulcitol are
used to identify bacterial colonies.
Mannitol is also used to reduce
intracranial tension by forced
diuresis.
The osmotic effect of sorbitol produces
changes in tissues when they
accumulate in abnormal amounts, e.g.
cataract of lens.

Glycosides The hydroxyl group of anomeric carbon of a
carbohydrate can join with a hydroxyl group
of another carbohydrate or some other
compound to form a glycoside and the bond
so formed is known as glycosidic bond.
eg. R-OH + HO-R’ R-O-R' + H2O
The non-carbohydrate moiety is known as
aglycone –phenol, sterol, glycerol and
methanol.
Glycosidic bond can be N-linked or, O-
linked.

Starch
It is the reserve carbohydrate of plant
kingdom
Sources: Potatoes, cereals (rice,
wheat) and other food grains.
Starch is composed of amylose and
amylopectin.
![Page 84: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

Amylose is made up of glucose units
with alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages to
form an unbranched long chain. Water
soluble.
The insoluble part absorbs water and
forms paste like gel; this is called
amylopectin.
Amylopectin is also made up of
glucose units, but is highly branched.
The branching points are made by
alpha-1,6 linkage
![Page 86: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Iodine test for starch
Starch will form a blue colored
complex with iodine; this color
disappears on heating and reappears
when cooled. This is a sensitive test
for starch.
Starch is nonreducing because the
free sugar groups are negligible in
number.
![Page 87: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Hydrolysis of starch
Amylodextrin = violet color with
iodine and is non-reducing.
Erythrodextrin = red color with
iodine and mildly reduce the
Benedict's solution.
Achrodextrins = no color with
iodine, reducing)
Maltose = (no color with iodine, but
powerfully reducing)

Glycogen
![Page 89: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
It is the reserve carbohydrate in animals.
It is stored in liver and muscle.
Liver glycogen stores increase during the
well-fed state , and are depleted during a
fast.
Glycogen is composed of glucose units
joined by alpha-1,4 links in straight
chains. It also has alpha-1,6 glycosidic
linkages at the branching points.
Glycogen is more branched and more
compact than amylopectin.
![Page 90: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Liver and muscle glycogen

Cellulose
It is made up of glucose units combined
with beta-1,4 linkages.
It has a straight line structure, with no
branching points.
Beta-1,4 bridges are hydrolyzed by the
enzyme cellobiase. But this enzyme is
absent in animal and human digestive
system, and hence cellulose cannot be
digested.
![Page 92: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)

Inulin
It is a long chain homoglycan composed
of D-fructose units with repeating beta-1,2
linkages.
It is the reserve carbohydrate present in
various bulbs and tubers, such as onion,
garlic.
It is clinically used to find renal
clearance value and glomerular
filtration rate.
![Page 96: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Dextrans
These are highly branched homopolymers
of glucose units with 1-6, 1-4 and 1-3
linkages. They are produced by micro-
organisms.
Since they will not easily go out of
vascular compartment, they are used for
intravenous infusion as plasma volume
expander for treatment of hypovolemic
shock.
![Page 97: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Dextrose, Dextrin and Dextran
are different
D-glucose is otherwise called Dextrose, a
term often used in bed-side medicine, e.g.
dextrose drip.
Dextrin is the partially digested product of
starch.
Dextran is high molecular weight
carbohydrate, synthesized by bacteria.
![Page 98: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Chitin
It is present in exoskeletons of
insects.
It is composed of units of N-
acetylglucosamine with beta-1,4
glycosidic linkages.
![Page 99: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Heteropolysaccharides
• Agar
• Mucopolysaccharide
![Page 100: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Agar
Agar = The linear polysaccharide Agarose
+ agaropectin
It is dissolved in water at 100ºC, which
upon cooling sets into a gel. Agarose is
used as matrix for electrophoresis.
Agar cannot be digested by bacteria and
hence used widely as a supporting agent to
culture bacterial colonies.
![Page 101: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Mucopolysaccharide
i.e. glycosaminoglycans(GAGs)
[acidic sugar–amino sugar]n.
![Page 102: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Because of their large number of negative
charges, these heteropolysaccharide chains
tend to be extended in solution. They repel
each other, and are surrounded by a shell
of water molecules. When brought
together, they “slip” past each other.
This produces the “slippery” consistency
of mucous secretions and synovial fluid.
![Page 103: Chemistry of carbohydrate for M.B.B.S students](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021422/589afc631a28ab3e288b6d8f/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
