Background:

Digitoxigenin is a cardenolide and aglycone constituent of digitoxin, an extract from the foxglove plant, D. purpurea. It elicits cardiac contraction and cardiotonic effects by inhibiting the Na+/K+ ATPase via binding at the digitalis receptor site with nanomolar potency. Digitoxigenin is highly cytotoxic, inhibiting Na+/K+ ATPase-dependent protein synthesis, and has been examined for use as an antitumor compound.
