Physical and Chemical Properties | Chemical properties white or white-like crystalline powder. Melting point 256-257 ℃. Soluble in acid, chloroform, acetone and pyridine, slightly soluble in water and petroleum ether. No smell, bitter taste. Crystallization from dilute alcohol often contains half a molecule or a molecule of crystal water or a molecule of ethanol. Vacuum heating to 118 ℃ can be converted into anhydrous. |
Use | Uses The product is the same as digoxin (iso-hydroxydigitroside), which can strengthen myocardial contractility, slow down heart rate and inhibit conduction. It is characterized by a slow and long-lasting start of action, and is suitable for long-term use in patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency. The product is not compatible with acid and alkali drugs. The oral LD50 of this product to guinea pigs and cats is 60.0 and 0.18 mg/kg respectively. |

biological activity
Digitoxin is an effective Na +/K +-ATPase inhibitor with an EC50 value of 0.78 μM.
Production method
In nature, the active ingredients of digitalis leaves and other cardiotonic drugs are steroidal glycosides, and the secretions of toads in animals also contain similar substances. In the digitalis glycoside molecule, sugar binds to the hydroxyl group of C3. Glycosides have a butene lactone structure. In the pharmaceutical industry, digitalis leaf powder is added with water to make alcohol at 28-35 ℃, fermented leaf powder is extracted with 70% ethanol, concentrated and filtered. The concentrated solution was removed at 28-30 ℃ for 4-6h, and then extracted with chloroform. The extract is washed with water, 5% sodium hydroxide solution and water in turn, concentrated to viscous form, added with anhydrous acetone crystal, placed overnight at 0-5 ℃, and filtered to obtain wet product. After column chromatography purification and digitoxin.
