Brit.

/ˈdʒɛnɪn/, U.S.

/ˈdʒɛnən/

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Genin.

Etymology: < German Genin (H. Kiliani 1915, in Ber. Deut. Chem. Ges. 48 335), apparently < -gen -gen comb. form + -in -in suffix¹. Compare earlier digitogenin n. at digito- comb. form , sapogenin n.

Biochemistry.

Any of numerous steroidal substances occurring as the aglycones of saponins and other natural glycosides of plant or animal origin.

1915 Chem. Abstr. 9 1336 Genin, C₂₁H₃₀O₅, wartlets from 15 parts of b.96% alc.

1925 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 128 i. 1295 The genin is converted by cold, concentrated hydrochloric acid into ‘dianhydrogitoxigenin’, identical with digitaligenin from ‘Digitalinum verum’.

1938 Thorpe's Dict. Appl. Chem. (ed. 4) II. 381/1 All these drugs are non-nitrogenous glycosides of plant origin yielding on hydrolysis various sugars and a number of structurally similar aglycones or ‘genins’.

1959 L. F. Fieser & M. Fieser Steroids i. 4 The glycoside of which digitogenin is the aglycone, or genin, is a saponin.

2006 M. Daniel Medicinal Plants iii. 126 Saponins and genins cause spasmodic uterine contraction.
