Terpenes. are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants, particularly conifers,. . though also by some insects. They are often strong-smelling.

In the body they are broken down by enzymes or acids into:. sugars= . glycone. / water soluble. non sugar= aglycone/ active portion. Aglycone may be an alcohol, sulfur or phenol compound.. Antiarrhythmics. ". Cardiotonic. Cardiac . glycosides. Cardiac glycosides - are substances of plant origin, which have a pronounced . cardiotonic. action and are used in the treatment of heart failure associated with myocardial dystrophy of different etiology. They increase the efficiency of the myocardium, providing the most economical and yet effective activity of the heart.. The Monarch butterfly feeds as a larva on species of milkweeds. The milkweeds contain a group of chemicals called cardiac glycosides. Cardiac glycosides are poisonous to vertebrates. The larvae store these cardiac glycosides and the later adult Monarch butterfly contains them as well. If a bird (or other vertebrate such as a mouse or frog) eats a Monarch it finds them distasteful to begin with and is later sick.. Alisa Villarreal. Lily of the Valley. Introduction.
