Nine compounds, including a new compound (digitoxigenin β-D-glucoside malonyl ester), were isolated as biotransformation products of digitoxigenin by cell suspension cultures of Panax ginseng (Pg-3 cell line). At the same time, two known products were identified by TLC and HPLC.

Five new compounds (three esters and two glycosides) and seven previously reported compounds were isolated as biotransformation products of digitoxigenin by ginseng hairy root cultures.The new esters and glycosides were elucidated as digitoxigenin stearate, digitoxigenin palmitate, digitoxigenin myristate, 3-epidigitoxigenin β-D-gentiobioside and digitoxigenin β-D-sophoroside using 1H and 13C NMR and FAB mass spectral data.Biotransformations involving esterification (of stearic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid and lauric acid) and glycosylation (of gentiobiose and sophorose) of digitoxigenin have been demonstrated for the first time in the plant cell and tissue cultures.The hairy roots showed high glycosylation ability to the digitoxigenin molecule.
BIOTRANSFORMATION OF DIGITOXIGENIN BY CELL SUSPENSION CULTURES OF DIGITALIS PURPUREA

Digitoxigenin was oxidized to digitoxigenone which was reduced to epidigitoxigenin and then glucosylated to epidigitoxigenin glucoside by cell cultures of Digitalis purpurea.The epidigitoxigenin glucoside, together with digitoxigenone and epidigitoxigenin, was isolated in considerable amounts, whereas digitoxigenin glucoside could only be detected in low concentration.Furthermore, it was confirmed by TLC and HPLC that digitoxigenin was hydroxylated to periplogenin.Key Word Index-Digitalis purpurea; Scrophulariaceae; tissue cultures; biotransformation; hydroxylation; glucosylation; steroid; digitoxigenin; digitoxigenone; epidigitoxigenin; periplogenin; digitoxigenin glucoside; epidigitoxigenin glucoside.
