Elimination of three different cardiac glycosides by hemofiltration was investigated using the flat bed RP-6 (Rhône-Poulenc, Paris). At a filtration rate of 59 +/- 9 ml/min the mean clearance of 3-H-g-strophanthin was 54.9 +/- 10.4, that of a 3-H-digoxin and unlabelled digoxin 36.7 +/- 6.6 and that
PRISEs (progesterone 5β-reductase and/or iridoid synthase-like 1,4-enone reductases) are involved in cardenolide and iridoid biosynthesis. We here investigated a PRISE (rAtSt5βR) from Arabidopsis thaliana, a plant producing neither cardenolides nor iridoids. The structure of rAtSt5βR was elucidated
