D-Digitalose

CAS: 4481-08-7

D-Digitalose is a cardenolide glycoside that was first isolated from the plant genus Digitalis. It is a molecule with two epoxide groups, which are chemical transformations of the original steroid glycosides. It has been shown to have cardiac activity and can be used as an ethanol extract in chemotherapy drug treatments. D-Digitalose has also shown to be effective against acuminatum, which is a type of fungus.
