General Description

8-Hydroxydigitoxigenin is a cardenolide steroid compound found in the leaves of the foxglove plant, Digitalis lanata. It is a derivative of digitoxigenin and a hydroxylated version of the cardiac glycoside digitoxin. This chemical has potential pharmaceutical applications due to its ability to inhibit the sodium-potassium ATPase pump, which can lead to increased intracellular calcium levels and subsequently, stronger cardiac muscle contractions. This property makes 8-Hydroxydigitoxigenin a potential candidate for the treatment of heart conditions such as congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential use in cancer treatment, as it has been shown to induce cell death in cancer cells.
