Recent studies have revealed that cardiac glycosides, such as digitalis and digoxin, have anticancer activity and may serve as lead compounds for the development of cancer treatments. The poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients reflects the development of resistance to current
A competitive solid-phase EIA technique using high-affinity digoxin-specific monoclonal antibodies has been developed to determine cardenolides in Digitalis lanata. The test-system can detect digoxin and closely related compounds in concentration of 0.1 nmol/ml. The content of cardenolides, tested
A rapid extraction method followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic assay was developed for the quantitative determination of the cardioactive glycosides of Digitalis lanata. The leaf samples were extracted with water or aqueous alcohols. The simple extraction method gives a better yield
Cardenolides from a Brazilian cultivar of Digitalis lanata were isolated by rotation locular countercurrent chromatography (RLCC), employing dichloromethane-methanol-water (5:6:4, v/v) as the solvent system. Highly pure lanatoside C was obtained from the Digitalis lanata hydromethanolic extract,
In this study, a simple and reliable HPLC method for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of cardiac glycosides in Digitalis lanata Ehrh. raw material was developed and applied to healthy and phytoplasma-infected plants. The target analytes cover a broad range of secondary metabolites,
A bacterial screening was carried out in the rhizosphere of two Digitalis species, D. thapsi and D. parviflora, both at the vegetative stage and at flowering. A total of 480 isolates were characterised at genus level, Bacillus being the dominant genera in all cases. Fifty percent of the Bacillus
The results of plasma digoxin concentration (PDC) measurements in 260 patients treated with digitalis lanata preparations (digoxin, lanatoside C, betamethyl-digoxin) allowed the following observations: 1. Owing to an important overlap between "toxic" and "nontoxic" PDC values, the method has a
Cardioactive steroids (CAS) are medically important compounds historically used for conditions like edema and "dropsy." There is literature from the 17th century regarding their therapeutic effects. They are available in several plants including oleander, foxglove, lily of the valley, red squill,
