What are the difference between alkaloid and glycoside?

Alkaloid	Glycoside
1. Alkaloids are basic nitrogenous compound of plant origin.	1. Glycosides are condensation products of a sugar and non sugar part.
2. Soluble in alcohol not in water	2. Solubility depends on sugar part present in that particular glycoside
3. It give salt with acid	3. Does not form salt with acid
4. Name of alkaloids usually ends in –ine	4. Name of glycosides usually ends in –in.

What are the types of glycosides

Types of glycosides:

1. Cardiac glycosides; e.g. Digitalis
2. Aminoglycosides: e.g. Streptomycin
3. Sennoside: e.g. Selicin
