convallaria odorata/抗真菌药

Various chemotherapeutic agents have been used largely for the treatment of salivary gland cancer. However, results are disappointing, and these agents can cause some serious side effects. Therefore, recent studies have focused on the possible roles of natural products to overcome these

Digitalis-like compounds (DLCs), such as digoxin and digitoxin that are derived from digitalis species, are currently used to treat heart failure and atrial fibrillation, but have a narrow therapeutic index. Drug-drug interactions at the transporter level are frequent causes of DLCs toxicity.

Digoxin is a digitalis glycoside extracted front the leaves of the plant Digitalis Lanata. more commonly known as Grecian foxglove. The digitalis glycosides are present in many plants including Digitalis purpura (foxglove), Nerium oleander (oleander) and Convallaria majalis (lily-of-the-valley).

BACKGROUND Cardiac glycosides of plant origin are implicated in toxic ingestions that may result in hospitalization and are potentially lethal. The utility of commonly available digoxin serum assays for detecting foxglove and oleander ingestion has been demonstrated, but no studies have evaluated

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,
