Genin

Genin is a term used in pharmacology to refer to one of the main components of a drug. Translated from Latin, the word “genin” means “aglycone”.

An aglycone is a part of a glycoside molecule that does not contain sugars and is the main active component of the drug. It can be either natural or synthetic.

Genin plays an important role in the action of drugs, since it is responsible for binding and penetration into the body's cells. For example, genin in aspirin tablets is the main active ingredient that blocks the production of prostaglandins in the body and relieves inflammation.

In addition, genin can be used in other drugs, such as vaccines. In this case, it may contain an antigen that triggers the body's immune response and protects against infections.

Thus, genin is an important component of many drugs and plays a key role in their action.
