CAS 143-62-4: Digitoxigenin
Description:Digitoxigenin is a steroidal compound classified as a cardiac glycoside, primarily derived from the plant Digitalis purpurea, commonly known as foxglove. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a steroid nucleus with a lactone ring and multiple hydroxyl groups. This compound exhibits potent biological activity, particularly in its ability to inhibit the Na+/K+ ATPase enzyme, leading to increased intracellular calcium levels and enhanced cardiac contractility. Digitoxigenin is often used in the treatment of heart conditions, such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure, due to its positive inotropic effects. However, it has a narrow therapeutic window, necessitating careful monitoring of dosage to avoid toxicity. In terms of physical properties, digitoxigenin is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its pharmacological profile and potential side effects, including arrhythmias and gastrointestinal disturbances, underscore the importance of understanding its characteristics in both clinical and research settings.
