Usage

Description

8-Hydroxydigitoxigenin is a cardenolide steroid compound derived from the foxglove plant, Digitalis lanata. It is a hydroxylated version of the cardiac glycoside digitoxin and a derivative of digitoxigenin. This chemical possesses potential pharmaceutical applications due to its ability to inhibit the sodium-potassium ATPase pump, leading to increased intracellular calcium levels and enhanced cardiac muscle contractions.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
8-Hydroxydigitoxigenin is used as a potential treatment for heart conditions such as congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Its ability to inhibit the sodium-potassium ATPase pump results in stronger cardiac muscle contractions, making it a promising candidate for managing these conditions.
Used in Cancer Treatment Research:
8-Hydroxydigitoxigenin is used as a potential anticancer agent in cancer treatment research. It has been shown to induce cell death in cancer cells, making it a subject of interest for further investigation into its therapeutic potential against various types of cancer.
